In today’s world of generic, mass-produced factory fashion, knowing the provenance of your clothes is still a rare and lovely treat. And just as rewarding as knowing where your clothes come from is discovering that the beautiful item you’ve purchased has just as beautiful a backstory. Tutu Du Monde fits into this unusual category.

Each and every Tutu du Monde piece starts with an idea, brought to life by our Sydney-based team, before beginning a very careful and complex creative journey from our studio, around the world, until it finally arrives to you!

It all begins with a vision for a collection, that our creative director and design team then cultivate into a concept. Inspiration is collected from all sorts of sources, from vintage designs and costumery, to art and couture, movies and productions or exhibitions. Creativity and authenticity are such important aspects of design for our
founder, Andrea, and it is our hope that this notion of creative expression is passed along to our little customers through the joy and freedom they will experience from wearing a beautiful Tutu du Monde garment.

Starting with sketches, the team carefully refines the design of each piece, selecting the finest fabrics and embellishments, and ensuring each prototype reflects the quality and craftsmanship expected of a Tutu du Monde garment. From here, all designs are sent across to our trusted suppliers in India, some of whom have been with Tutu du Monde right from the start and have grown with us as a brand! We have proudly held these long-lasting relationships with our suppliers, who we consider part of our Tutu du Monde family; integral in our story and future vision.

We are lucky to be able to collaborate with these highly skilled men and women who are able to bring our creations to life, hand-sewing, hand-embroidering and hand- beading each and every piece. They listen to our feedback, and work to ensure each garment exemplifies those first sketches; from the placement of a single bead or sequin to the slightest variation in the shade of tulle that we choose – each piece must be perfect!

India is the beading capital of the world; where top fashion houses – such as Chanel – get their beautiful gowns beaded and embroidered. The essence of Tutu Du Monde is quality and artistry, and it was natural for Andrea and her team to turn to India’s most skilled beaders, keeping an ancient art alive by adapting traditional Indian embroidery techniques to innovate and create contemporary Children’s fashion.

Craftsmanship is at the core of our design ethos, and our dedicated beaders live and breathe their craft, which is not only their profession but also often a cultural practice, handed down through generations. They understand the delicate nature and inherent beauty of a Tutu du Monde piece, with our signature intricate bead and crystal work, wispy feathers, gold applique and sparkling sequinned designs. Often, the bodice of a dress will take an entire day or more to finish, each element meticulously sewn by hand, stitch by stitch, to create something special and unique.
