HELLO FEBRUARY....
How are you? Hope all is going smoothly in your life. Mine is somewhat chaotic... but we are working it out. I'm based back in Hobart now. It feels good to be back with the Smitten team, and home 🩷
Carl now has lovely new carers working with him, which has made a huge difference to his life, and we're hoping he'll be back in Tassie in the next few weeks/months. His resilience and wisdom are beyond inspiring... he gives ME pep talks!! 😳😳 An amazing man.
Anyway, it's February and February is a good month ;) And 2026 is my year - as I am a Fire Horse 🐦🔥🐎🐎 so let's do this year! It's going to be a lot of new experiences for my family I think...
(Ok- there is also a big birthday involved... more on that soon)
AND... HAPPY FRIDAY 13TH and VALENTINES DAY!!!
As you know - we're streamlining the Smitten range going forward. There will always be our classics and new seasonal colours, but my designing and manufacture will be more intentional.
It will mean less overwhelm when you want to choose a new cardi or dress!! Research shows the Paradox of Choice, that when there is an excess of options, we struggle to make a decision, it becomes analysis paralysis, not helpful! So, we're going to simplify life a little bit for you! You're welcome😉
It also means lots of extra pieces are now in Warehouse Clearance. Go on, have a look, stock is limited.

What do you think about these gorgeous colours all together? Just trying out some new ideas... and really love my new Asha Dress & Coco jacket set, in Pink and Viola, great for changing seasons ...
That's all for now. See you next time, Hope you get some great Smitten sale for your wardrobe :) Please enjoy wearing your Australian made clothing proudly - you are helping keep jobs in Tassie.
Heartfelt 😍 thank you from us for continuing to support our Tasmanian made, family business - it has been the toughest 5 months of our lives, but we are finding strength we didn't know we had.
And every single, thoughtful purchase helps, and with Smitten, you are buying something that is both natural and biodegradable that is designed to last and be loved for years.
Warmly,
Nic & Carl and the Smitten team
