SHAPES IN THE SAND Presents: The Worn Well Project.

In celebration of Fashion Revolution Week, we’re proud to share The Worn Well Project — a celebration of conscious style, shopping local, and the clothes that carry meaning.

This project is about rethinking how we dress. By pairing pre loved treasures from vintage stores, op shops, and brands that support transparency and ethical processes with SHAPES IN THE SAND swimwear, we’ve created a series of looks that reflect an Australian way of dressing — considered, creative, and connected to the land that inspires us.

Captured on film by Alice Lewis @shecriedwolf on the streets of Burleigh Heads, five looks come together to highlight Australian style in all its colour and individuality.

For us, sustainability isn’t a trend — it’s a way of living. One shaped by slowing down, supporting local makers and small sellers, and choosing pieces made with purpose, designed to be worn well and worn often.

Look 1

Coastal Bloom

Ella wears the SHAPES IN THE SAND Petal Mountain One Piece, handpicked 90’s denim jeans from Etsy, crochet handbag made from tshirts, and a hat by Relax Remade — crafted from pre loved vintage towels.
Look 2

Sunkissed Koala

Ella wears The Bush Checker bikini, paired with a custom board by Clear Surfboards. An 80s woolly koala knit throws a nod to koala country and the eucalyptus-covered landscapes that inspired it. A look grounded in nostalgia, surf culture, and sun-soaked days by the sea.
