‘Knot A Scrap Of Waste’ is a collaborative exhibition between Melbourne made label Kuwaii and artist Sarah Parkes of ‘Smalltown’. Kuwaii has collaborated with Sarah to showcase an installation of artworks throughout the CBD Kuwaii store. Using Sarah's handmade rope maker, the team has collaborated to transform fabric offcuts and remnant material left over from Kuwaii’s ethical, Melbourne made collections into hand crafted rope.
The artworks created for the exhibition showcase this beautiful and unique Kuwaii rope interwoven with Sarah's studio samples and repurposed baling twine.
Visit the store to experience this celebration of creativity and ethical design.

ABOUT THE EVENT ORGANISER
The concept of Kuwaii has always been the same: to provide a beautiful and thoughtful alternative to trend-driven, mass-produced fashion. Established in 2008 by designer Kristy Barber, Kuwaii clothing is ethically made in Melbourne, carefully considered and meticulously made to last. As one of Melbourne’s original slow fashion brands, Kuwaii’s values of kindness, respect, honesty, environmental accountability, and empowerment of all people inform how they make their garments, the people they work with and how they run their business.
With a perfectly balanced harmony of form and function, the Kuwaii aesthetic is both strikingly simple and intricately precise. Clean lines, classic silhouettes, and perfect proportions create a sense of effortless beauty. Kuwaii is the soft-spoken genius, the quiet beauty, the champion of delicate deliberateness. Kuwaii’s approach takes more time and is a little more complex, but it’s worth it. Everything Kuwaii does is slower, more deliberate and more intentional.
