THE "PRE-SALE" SALE

A PRE-SALE EXCLUSIVE.
Releasing mid-Sepetmber (Tue 22.09.26)
Exclusively from our Byron Bay Hinterland Studio.
Big sis.
Nobody appoints her. She just becomes it — somewhere around the age of six, when she works out that if she doesn't remember, nobody will.
She's the first draft. The one they learned on. The one who got the strictest curfew and the least sympathy, and who turned up anyway. She reads the room before she walks into it. She knows which sibling is lying and which one is about to cry. She has been the family's emergency contact since she was nine.
RAYA says it plainly across the chest — Big Sis, and beneath it, Oldest Daughter. Two names for the same job.
Cut as a women's cropped boxy tee in 200gsm garment-washed cotton, half recycled and half organic. High mock neckline, wide elbow-length sleeves, a straight square body that sits at the natural waist. Substantial, structured, soft from the first wear.
A note on the fit. RAYA is relaxed, cropped and boxy — roomy through the body, short in the length. Take your usual size. If you'd like more length, size up one.
WE ONLY RELEASE IN LIMITED EPISODES

The OD Cut Guide
Cut relaxed, boxy and cropped. Take your usual size for the intended square shape, or size up one for more length.
Cut positions are relative to standard Australian women's sizing. Our pieces are unisex — if you usually wear men's sizing, size down one.
A high mock neck and wide cropped sleeves give it a shape most tees don't have — square, architectural, deliberate. It holds its own line instead of collapsing at the shoulder, which is the whole difference between a t-shirt and a piece. Wear it high-waisted with tailoring, with denim, with whatever's on the floor. The 200gsm cotton is garment-washed before it reaches you, so it arrives broken-in and stays that way. Half the fibre is recycled — the quietest thing on this page, and the part we're proudest of.
RAYA is cut relaxed and boxy with a cropped body — take your usual size for the intended square shape, or size up one if you'd prefer more length. It's roomier through the chest than a standard women's tee and shorter in the body than our boyfriend tees, so it wears quite differently to the rest of the range. Our model is >>> FILL: height <<< and wears a >>> FILL: size <<<. Full measurements below.

Garment measurements, not body measurements — taken flat, point to point, in centimetres. 200gsm garment-washed cotton, so shrinkage is minimal.
The easiest way to find your size: take a tee you already own and love the fit of, lay it flat, and compare it to the numbers above.
The OD Cut Guide
Cut relaxed, boxy and cropped. Take your usual size for the intended square shape, or size up one for more length.
A midweight 200gsm single jersey blended from 50% recycled and 50% organic ring-spun cotton, then garment-washed for a soft, lived-in handle and reduced shrinkage. Substantial enough to hold the boxy shape, soft enough to live in. Recycled cotton means fibre that already existed — no new crop, no new water, nothing sent to landfill that could still be worn.
Cold machine wash with like colours · turn inside-out to protect the print · no ironing directly on the print · line dry for longevity. Wash less, wear more.

How does RAYA fit? Relaxed, boxy and cropped. Take your usual size, or size up one for more length.
How does it compare to your boyfriend tees? Shorter in the body and cut for a woman's frame. FLO and KAIA are long and unisex; RAYA is square and cropped.
Is it cropped-cropped? It sits at the natural waist — short, not bare. Easy over a high-waisted trouser or jean.
Is it really sustainable? 50% recycled and 50% organic cotton, garment-washed, made in a single small Episode so nothing goes to waste.
Does it contain any synthetic fibre? None. No polyester, no elastane, no plastic.
Where is it made? The cotton is woven, dyed and assembled offshore, then every piece is designed and printed here in the Byron Bay hinterland.
Who's it for? Her. Or from you, to her — which is usually how it goes.
Will it be restocked? No — every Episode closes for good.
Being the eldest is a job nobody trains you for and nobody thanks you for. You learn to think a step ahead, carry more than your share, and keep the whole thing steady so the ones behind you get an easier run of it.
That instinct — to leave the people who come after you with more than you were given — is the same one behind everything we make. Half-recycled, half-organic cotton, made in a small run, designed and printed in the Byron Bay hinterland, cut to be worn for years and handed down after that.
So this isn't really about a t-shirt. It's about who's been holding things together, and whether anyone noticed. 🤎
