Project Overview

As a company that lives and breathes handbags and accessories, we constantly strive to create products that make people feel happy and inspired.

In knowing we are all different, we believe in individuality being the key. Who doesn’t love standing out from the crowd!

All our prints are created from scratch in our Melbourne based textile design studio, with a whole lot of love and passion going into every little detail. If you were to visit us, you would find us passionately thinking up new artwork, mixing up paint, and playing with fabrics.

Our focus is to create something brand new for our customers, something that would excite them!

Project Brief

In knowing that we are not all the same, our beliefs lie in individuality being the key. Who doesn't love standing out from the crowd!

It is this philosophy that sees us constantly striving to create fresh and exciting new products. This is how our most recent project, b.sirius "Star", came about.

Our aim was to create a new limited edition collection featuring locally produced prints, using bolder than ever colour and special finishing touches, the final result being something that our fans could snap up and treasure as a real feature piece.

Project Innovation/Need

It is our off-beat style and the fact that b.sirius prints and designs are 100% original that give us our novel appeal.

Our quirky characters and fun prints exude individuality and bring something unique and special to the market.

Design Challenge

Predicting and understanding what the market wants/needs is always a challenge—an enjoyable one but still a challenge!

With so many products available, it is important to create something that stands out.



Sustainability

b.sirius is conscious of environmental issues and sustainability. We continue to strive for a constant improvement in the reduction of our foot print.

We use sea freight and keep packaging to a minimum to avoid unnecessary waste and always do our part when it comes to recycling. We even have our very own recycling chickens that we love dearly!

We are very aware of global and local issues and try to help where possible and support causes such as Mission Australia and the Child's i Foundation.
