Clutching a pencil since a young age, drawing is how That Vintage began. In 2007, the illustrations of three birds - Single Bird and Pair Of Birds - were born from ink, watercolour and pencil. From these drawings, the process of laser cutting and engraving was explored - combined with the love of wood as the chosen material.
That Vintage only ever began as a hobby, it was never planned for it to flap its wings so much to the small business that it is now!

The That Vintage Story:
That Vintage cracked its own egg in the warm month of February 2008 and fell into the hands of Sophie Hill, a Launceston based bird-obsessive artist and lover of all things handmade. That Vintage pieces are created using the beautiful Tasmanian Myrtle timber.

It began with a Tasmanian Blue Wren and a Common Sparrow, dancing together in the warm sunlight of an early Summer morning - from this friendship, the illustrations were hatched and then turned into wearable pieces of artwork - a tribute to the diversity of friendship.

In Sophie's nest of inspiration you will find cups of tea, synth folk music on repeat, a menagerie made of porcelain and her fair share of fabric swatches. The view from Sophie's nest is a Native Australian garden, growing with the hopes that the Bottle Brush and Kangaroo Paw will evoke new feathery friendships.

That Vintage designs are made with love and really, that is all that's needed.
