At a hop and a skip, every piece is made slowly and thoughtfully from vintage textiles—giving new life to fabrics that already have a story.

Meet the maker

I’m Laura, the hands behind a hop and a skip.

I started this label out of a love for sewing, storytelling through fabric, and creating clothing that feels personal and long-lasting.

Every piece is made by me in Brisbane, in small batches or as one-off designs.
