Behind the scenes of our latest collection; HOPEFUL ROMANTICS
What to expect from Resort 22: Vintage inspired denim, bold textured stripes, luxuriously soft cottons and timeless silhouettes.
Faced with a multitude of hurdles, this collection came to life during the Covid-19 lockdowns and is proudly produced within a local atelier in Sydney's inner city, as well as a small run Guangzhou, China.
Hopeful Romantics is the first of many 'small batch' releases from Wellington Factory, as we move toward an increasingly sustainable, and transparent future.
We cannot wait to share with you.

A short but sweet conversation with Byron Bay based artist, Elle-Louise Burgeuez. " Elle paints vibrant dreamscapes portraying a sense of holiday-moods, European summers and romantic evenings.

Apparently that’s weird. What does a normal workweek consist of for you? As any model would know, there’s no such thing as a ‘normal’ work week. When it rains it pours, and when it’s quiet, it can be really quiet. But the unpredictability of it couldn't be better suited to my personality. I’m usually doing something model-related 4-5 days a week between shooting, castings, and self-tapes. How long have you been a model and when/how were you scouted?I’ve floated in and out of modeling since I was...
Introduce yourself; Hi! My name is Marianne and I am a self-taught artist and ceramicist living on Bundjalung land, Byron Bay. What does a typical day in the studio look like for you? It really depends! I'd love to be in the studio and create everyday but some days it doesn't always flow so I go back to my art space whenever I feel inspired. When I start a piece, I can literally be in the studio for hours, I completely lose track of time and I love it that way. When did you first begin to describe yourself as an artist? Mmm.. Good question! I think around two years ago when I started painting on a regular...
