CUT stands for Conscious Universal Traders and in keeping with this ethos they search out brands that are conscious, ethical and sustainable. The CUT customers are moving away from trends and instead are investing in wardrobe pieces that are curated with longevity and craftsmanship in mind.
The store is a dreamy world of deep greens and blush pinks, with inviting, textured carpets and curved fixtures making the perfect setting for indulging in the CUT world of fashion and accessories.

BY FREER
Designer Lesley Watson has been around the fashion industry long enough to know what women really want. Her designs are style-focused, not trend-driven. Think luxurious fabrics in casual silhouettes. Not too precious - can be washed! Classic but with unexpected twists - a dash of neon, or a selvedge edge. Silks with stretch.
They are the pieces in your wardrobe that work hard for you and that you rely on season after season. Lesley calls them “your forever pieces”. And all of them, made to be worn time and time again.
Everything at by freer is designed and made in Sydney. Small batches mean Lesley keeps an eye on the quality produced, and doesn’t make excessive amounts, holding firm to the quality and ethos of the label: sustainable and ethical luxury.
