The 'KAKADU COLLECTIONS by Carolyn Lord' clothing range was first established in the 1990s when living in Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory, Australia. My recently departed mother-in-law 'Anne Lord' was inspirational in teaching me how to sew. Bright and colourful has always been my passion, and now being able to source local Australian artist designer fabric in wildlife and botanical prints just enhances my range of unique pieces that I can create for others to enjoy.

* I upcycle pre-loved products to maximise a garments life 
* I source out and use vintage trims, buttons and  fabrics in our locally made garments
* I purchase small pieces of fabrics, including those designed by Australian artists within the aim of keeping our range unique and limited
