Is Romance Was Born a luxury brand?

It sits in the collectible end of Australian designer fashion rather than in European luxury. The signals are the museum holdings, the hand work, and the size of the runs.

Where is Romance Was Born made?

In Sydney for a large part of the range. The label works from its own design studio inside the Powerhouse Museum, and the hand cut, hand beaded and one off pieces are made there. Printed cotton and viscose styles are produced offshore, mainly in China, and some beading is done in India with a long standing partner studio.

What size should I order?

Your usual UK size. Australian sizing runs level with UK sizing on this label, so a UK 10 shopper orders a 10. The conversion table on this page covers US, EU and Japanese equivalents.

Which artists has Romance Was Born worked with?

May Gibbs, Linda Jackson, Jenny Kee, and Archibald Prize winner Del Kathryn Barton, plus Disney, Marvel, Lego, and the Sydney Theatre Company. The prints are drawn for the collection rather than licensed in, which is why a print rarely returns once its run sells through.

Does Luxury Handbags ship Romance Was Born internationally?

Yes. Luxury Handbags ships worldwide from its UAE and Australia hubs, which is the simplest route for buyers in the UK, Europe, the United States, and the Gulf. Most regions ship Delivered Duty Unpaid, so local duties and taxes fall due on import.

Romance Was Born is the Australian fashion house that behaves like an art practice. Anna Plunkett and Luke Sales founded it in Sydney in 2005, they draw every print by hand before a pattern piece is cut, and their work is now held in four national museum collections. Luxury Handbags carries the seasonal ready to wear, cut to Australian sizing, which runs level with UK sizing.
