Caressa Designs

Caressa Designs is 100% Aboriginal owned and operated business, specialising in children’s and baby clothing, accessories, resources, and unique art. Our purpose is to provide a First Nations voice within the children’s and baby clothing space.

We create beautiful garments for both mob and allies to connect to the world’s oldest living culture and our garments can be used as a platform to dive further in respectfully learning and engaging with First Nations people and their culture.

We pride ourselves by incorporating Aboriginal cultural value systems in everything we do, to maintain connection to culture and care for country. We do this by being carbon neutral, using our offcuts, working with natural fibres, and offering options to donate outgrown items to remote Indigenous communities.

With over 20 years’ experience in the fashion and bridal industry through design, local manufacturing, and education we offer our customers beautiful products for their children and a unique, connected experience. We are located on the unceded sovereign lands of the Wodi Wodi people of the Dharawal nation, in the Illawarra region of New South Wales.

I walk in the footsteps of my ancestors to bring this vision to life for all people regardless of race to enjoy and engage with to develop a respectful relationship with us and with country and culture. In 2023, Caressa Designs will look to become a social enterprise to establish education, training and employment for local Aboriginal people with Australian fashion industry skills. Manufacturing capabilities for other brands Indigenous and non-Indigenous coming soon.
