Why we started

Brackenfield started in a shed behind a weatherboard house in central Victoria, with one loom and a stubborn idea — that the things you touch every day should be worth touching.

We buy small. A run of forty throws, thirty mugs. When it sells out it sells out, and we make it again when the maker has time. No seasonal collections, no clearance.

Everything here has been in one of our houses for at least a season before it went on the site. If it didn't wear well, it isn't here.

Workshop detail

Looking after it

Most of this improves with use, provided you don't fight it.

Linen

Cold machine wash on a gentle cycle, line dry in shade. Skip fabric softener — it coats the fibre and stops it breathing. Expect it to soften for about twenty washes.

Stoneware

Dishwasher safe, though handwashing keeps the glaze brighter over years. Don't go fridge to oven; thermal shock cracks stoneware, not age.

Timber

Hand wash, dry standing up. Re-oil every few months with a food-safe oil. Never leave it sitting in water.

Wool

Air it more than you wash it. When it does need washing, wool cycle or cold hand wash, dry flat out of sun.

Questions

How long does delivery take?

Most metropolitan orders arrive in 2–4 business days from Castlemaine. Regional and remote addresses can take up to a week. Tracking is emailed as soon as it's attached.

Do you ship internationally?

Not at the moment. We post within Australia only.

Can I return something?

Unused and unwashed, within 30 days, yes. If a piece fails in ordinary use we'll replace it regardless of how long you've had it.

Are these made in Australia?

Most of them. Where a piece is made overseas — the linen in particular — we say so on the product and we've visited the mill.

Do you restock sold-out pieces?

Usually, though small runs mean gaps of a few weeks. The maker sets the pace, not us.

Is the packaging recyclable?

Yes. Paper tape, cardboard and paper void fill — no plastic in the box.
