Have you ever met someone and just thought, ditto! This moment happened for Ditto founders DeeLyn and Hayley over a decade ago, when they met through a shared passion for all things art, music, design and fashion. Both jewellery designers by trade, a creative collaboration was inevitable and thus Studio Ditto was born.
For our bags collections we have sourced reclaimed upholstery and end of line fabrics from interior designers, upholsterers, and manufactures that would otherwise end up in landfill. We handpick each one to ensure high quality, durability and a unique look—meaning most bags are one-of-a-kind or limited edition. For the smaller bags and the linings, we rescue discarded festival tents, curtain offcuts, and fabric blinds, giving them a second life. Many of the straps are recycled climbing rope from indoor climbing centres after they’ve reached the end of their safe usage there — still strong, colourful, and full of new potential.
With our expansion into jewellery comes more reclaimed and eco materials. Our new range is made using linoleum sample flooring—a material that’s naturally biodegradable and made from renewable resources like cork dust, linseed oil, wood flour and natural pigments.
