Style with a story.

At Re/lax Remade, we create one-of-a-kind artisanal hats from vintage towels.

Each hat is handmade ethically in Sydney, with skilled attention to detail, and a reverence for these rare and unique materials. The result is an exclusive piece of art, history and fashion in one.

One of one, always.

Each Re/lax Remade piece is one-of-a-kind. Here, there is no overproduction, and no two hats are ever the same. Because each towel has a past of its own, they are handled individually, and all our design choices are mindfully led by the unique material in front of us, making each hat innately limited and exclusive.

The New Luxury.

At Re/lax Remade, we pride ourselves on being intimately connected to every step of the creation process - from sourcing and design to construction and delivery. Our in-house approach ensures that each piece is crafted with love, attention, and precision. No more faceless over production, this is the new luxury.

Our Mission.

Our mission is to create beautiful and ethical luxury, by repurposing rare vintage materials and supporting local artisans.

What We Stand For.

By supporting talented local creators to maximise the lifespan of pre-existing materials, each Re/lax Remade piece sold is proof that the making of beautiful clothes can have a positive ethical and environmental impact. This while providing our cherished customers with a meaningful accessory that celebrates sustainability and individuality.

Connection.

An intimate conversation between history and fashion, the wearer and the maker, inside each hat is a tag that reads,

“You make me feel new again”.

A Note From Our Founder.

Hi, thanks for visiting! This is Karina, the founder of Re/lax Remade.

I believe in finding the good. I believe in doing what we can with what we have. And I believe we each can make a difference, while having a bit of fun.

Re/lax Remade represents all of that. It is fun while being responsible. It is fashion while being one-of-a-kind. It is style that supports a healthier planet and a more meaningful experience for its wearers and makers.

I source each towel individually from a range of interesting characters around Australia, and my small team and I make each hat, from start to finish, in our colourful workroom in the north of Sydney. Some towels are well-loved and recovered from sheds; others are carefully preserved engagement gifts from the 60s. Each towel is beautiful and unique with a story - just like each of us.

Thank you for supporting something that is good for the planet, good for the makers, and looks so good on you.

Love, Karina x
