Big Girls Briefs - Mother and Child
Product Description
There is something quietly tender about the Mother and Child print. An old treadle Singer sewing machine sits in the lounge room, with dappled sun falling on a little girl standing on a stool, her mother kneeling to measure a hem for a dress she has made with love. A moment of care and making, unhurried and intimate, from a time when these things mattered deeply. They still do.
Do we still have these moments? Do they simply look different now? Or are we too busy?
The Mother and Child print is a quiet reminder of what matters. Original, nurturing and deeply personal, it carries that tender connection between a mother and child through the simple act of making and caring.
Sewn and designed in Melbourne's Dandenong Ranges from soft, breathable cotton jersey, these high waist briefs offer good coverage and a generous fit that holds its shape wash after wash. Fully accredited by Ethical Clothing Australia, every by Audrey & Grace piece is made with transparency and fair working conditions as non negotiable, not an afterthought.
Pair with the Mother and Child handkerchief and pouch, or add the children's briefs for a matching mother and daughter set. A genuinely considered gift for a new mum, or a quiet treat for yourself.
Australian women's underwear and Australian women's clothing made slowly, locally and with care.

Circularity: When you're finished with this piece, you can send it to Textile Recyclers Australia's "Project Down Under" initiative using their mail-in satchels (fee applies). For non-underwear items in this fabric, donation or resale are also options. The blended fabric means it cannot be mechanically recycled at end-of-life, but the high cotton content reduces environmental impact compared to fully synthetic alternatives.
