WombatandPoss
Announcement
Wombat & Poss make beautiful, sustainable clothing and accessories, designed so children can play! Every item is sewn or hand-knitted with love in Canberra, Australia, using natural, sustainable fabrics and fibres. Made with love, made to last.
I follow a zero-waste philosophy and use all of my offcuts (yes, even those little snippets of thread!). I donate a portion of sales each month to wildlife, environmental and social justice groups which work to help make our world a fairer place for all. I offset any carbon emissions (and do my best to live and make with a low carbon footprint).
Thank you for visiting my shop. Please let me know if I can be of assistance :)

I enjoy discovering fabric by local designers to add to my range.
A stitch in time...
Hello, I'm Kylie!
I started knitting and sewing as a child, with my grand-mothers and aunties patiently teaching me how to knit, and my Mum trusting me with her much-used sewing machine. I started creating small toys and then sewing clothing as I got older. My interest in knitting was rekindled by my late mother-in-law who taught me how to produce wonderful cable patterns - after that, nothing could stop me!
Since then, I have enjoyed making clothing for my own children, who inspire me daily. Well designed, simple garments made from quality fabrics were the favourites that were worn over and over again and survived many many hours of tree climbing and exploring. It's these clothes that have become the basis for my shop range.
Good handmade clothing, like good food, relies on skill and quality materials. I make all of my items skilfully with great attention to detail using the best quality materials, so you can be assured of a great product.
I use natural fibres with an emphasis on organic and sustainable materials and low 'fabric' miles where possible - often a challenge in Australia! Fortunately we have a growing number of local fabric designers and some beautiful organic wool.
A portion of my sales every month is donated to wildlife, environmental and social justice groups which work to help make our world a fairer place for all.

Hello, I'm Kylie - the one woman team behind Wombat and Poss. I'm a compulsive knitter and sewist and feel happiest when I'm stitching away on my latest creations - with a cup of fair-trade tea nearby!
Shop policies
All items are handmade by me using natural / organic / sustainable fibres in my smoke free home. We do have a pet rabbit, but she isn't allowed around my sewing area (much as she'd like to wreak havoc!). I take great care and pride in making my products and I'm confident you'll be happy with your purchase.

Payment
Shipping
I am based in and ship from Australia.
HOW ARE THEY SHIPPED?
Covid-19 update: All international orders are now being shipped by tracked parcel post. Unfortunately this is an expensive option. I'm really sorry about this, but I can't absorb the price of international postage at the moment.
Items are shipped by regular Australia Post air mail (both within Australia and Internationally). Registered, tracked or express post will cost extra - please let me know if you would like this option.
Note that International Express post can cost around $40-50.
DELIVERY TIMES
Delivery within Australia will usually take 2-3 business days - note that this can sometimes stretch to 2 weeks.
Delivery to overseas addresses will typically take between 3-10 business days, although sometimes delays of up to 4-8 weeks can occur.
Please factor these times in to your decision to purchase. While I can control the time taken to make/post, I cannot control how long an item takes in the post - this is in the hands of the postal service in your country.
Please ensure your address in Etsy/Paypal is correct.
DO YOU REFUND EXCESS POSTAGE?
Any excess postage and handling payment on items will be refunded.
HOW LONG BEFORE ITEMS ARE SHIPPED?
Most items in the shop are ready-to-ship (unless specified otherwise). If ready made, I will post them within 3-5 days of payment so you'll receive your lovely goodies promptly.
HOW IS MY ITEM WRAPPED? DO YOU OFFER GIFT WRAPPING?
I wrap all of my items beautifully (see an example on my About page). I am happy to include a gift card with your choice of words at no extra cost.
TAXES AND DUTIES
International customers, please note you are responsible for any taxes or duties associated with shipping to your country.
WHAT IF MY ITEM DOESN'T ARRIVE?
Firstly, I apologise if this does happen. It is rare for items not to arrive, and I can assure you that if you received a dispatch notification email, your item has definitely left my hands.
Given the potential time delays in shipping both within Australia and Internationally, please contact me within 2 weeks (Australia) or 3-4 weeks (International) if your item hasn't arrived and we can discuss options. Note that for International orders, items can sometimes take up to 8 weeks to arrive.
