Gem and Jim have been collecting sardine tins for years and have always been drawn to their bold and creative designs and graphics. With the belief that creativity can transform the ordinary into something special.

This concept has been applied to our garments where we look to experiment and play with fabrics, colours, designs, painting, drawing and repurposing of materials where we can.

Sardine Supply is a creative project which has evolved alongside the founders interests and hobbies. Drop 3 onwards seeks to reimagine surplus materials and natural fibres into wearable, bold pieces for the everyday.

Each drop is a creative project, rooted in experimentation, curiosity and playfulness.

Practices

Majority of our products from Drop 3* onwards are produced in Australia as we have transitioned our manufacturing back to home soil. Have a read here for more information on our supply chain.

*our silk scarf is produced in China.

We moved to local production to allow us to have greater visibility and oversight throughout the production process.
