Our story

THE STUDIO:

Shabby Shac Studio was founded in 2005, finding success in a diverse range of fields from fashion to event, interior and exhibit design. Over a decade of experience, education and knowledge has come together to create a firm foundation and intimate knowledge of all things colour, textiles, art and design. 

We are a small, artisan Studio with a passion for bespoke, sustainable, intentional design. We lean into our local community and interstate friends to bring you products that are truly exceptional and reminiscent of the Australian landscape.

Our design method is an organic one with our Principal Designer favouring pencil, ink and watercolours during the creative process.  Each design is passionately created in our Studio and carefully refined with a conscious choice to embrace the perfect imperfection of nature and everyday living.

Our products are designed, printed, manufactured and packaged on the beautiful Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.

SUSTAINABILITY:

Our Textiles carry the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) and Confidence in Textiles labels. The GRS is a voluntary product standard for tracking and verifying the content of recycled materials in  a final product. The standard applies to the full supply chain - addressing traceability, environmental principles, social requirements, chemical content and labelling. 

Confidence in Textiles - Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX® is one of the world's best-known labels for textiles tested for harmful substances. This label guarantees that our products are free from harmful substances.

Our Wallpaper is proudly PVC FREE. This standard protects the health and well-being of the manufacturer, installer, client and the environment.  

Our beautifully textured Wallpaper and Textiles are recommended for use in both Residential (renter friendly) and Commercial settings. Fire Rating Certifications are available upon request.

Our Gifting Range is proudly printed on locally produced card-stock that carries all the best certifications and labels, ensuring we tread lightly on our beautiful planet.

Our wedding weight stationery is manufactured under strict environmental management systems using wind generated electricity and is rendered carbon neutral within the production process.

Packaging is carefully considered with regards to each product, less is definitely more in our opinion. However, when a protective cover is required, we choose only locally produced, 100% recyclable sleeves that are rendered inert in nature, meaning they do not leach any toxins into the soil or water table.
