How do I care for my Baue garment?

Great question. Looking after your clothes carefully and making them last is the most sustainable way to enjoy fashion. 

Cleaning. The first question to ask is does it need cleaning? If you’ve worn it once or twice and managed not to spill anything down your front simply congratulate yourself and just hang your garment up to let it air. When it does need a clean most Baue garments can be hand washed (or dry cleaned if you prefer.)

Mending. If your garment needs mending and you’re not handy with a needle yourself most dry cleaners will offer a mending service. If you prefer you can contact me and I’ll see if I can help. (If its a fault with the garment send it right back and I’ll fix it for you.) 

How will my order be packaged?

I strive to tread the fine line of giving you the joyous unboxing experience you deserve and packaging your order in a way which is sustainable. All orders will arrive in a kraft box which is recyclable and biodegradable. Inside you’ll find your Baue garment  wrapped in recycled tissue paper. I keep inserts and other branding materials to a minimum. I will NEVER use plastic or non biodegradable materials to package your order. That’s a promise.

How do you pronounce Baue?

Fair question. It's pronounced "Bower" (if you are English) or the phonetic spelling is ˈbaʊə(r) (if you’re clever). 

Baue is inspired by the decorative gathering technique of the Bowerbird. Like the Bowerbird, I gather unwanted materials, organising them according to colour. I create your garments from this eclectic mixture of tonal fabrics. 

Here’s David Attenborough and a Bowerbird.

Do you have a physical store or stockists?

You can shop Baue collections at Lume of Ludlow and at & by Donna Reeves in Hertfordshire, UK. If you'd be interested in stocking Baue, please do contact me here.

Do you offer a bespoke / made to measure / custom / bridal service?

No. Baue is designed around thoughtfully gathered fabrics, many of which are vintage, deadstock or available only in small quantities. Rather than making garments to order, I carefully plan each collection around the fabrics I've collected, working out exactly how many pieces can be made with as little waste as possible.

This way of working allows me to use these beautiful materials responsibly, while creating small, limited-edition collections with a clear point of view.

For that reason, I don't take on bespoke commissions or make garments from clients' own designs. My focus is on creating ready-to-wear collections that are designed to be collected, worn and treasured for years to come.
