Hi, we're Rachel and Henry.

We’re really into making sofas look pretty damn good.

Our story

We could’ve just bought a new sofa. Actually, we couldn’t. And it wasn’t because we didn’t want to. The truth is, we couldn’t afford one. So we settled for the next best thing: An old IKEA KARLANDA sofa that a close friend had given us. There was only one problem: The sofa was freaking ugly.
The beginning
To fix this sofa ‘situation’, we decided to make a slipcover for it with the help of a couple of YouTube tutorials and a second-hand sewing machine. Let’s just say it took a handful of tries to get it right, but we got there eventually.

In fact, friends and neighbours liked our slipcover so much that they started asking us to make more for them. To keep up with orders, we worked full-time jobs during the day and made slipcovers at night with the help of two seamstresses we'd hired.
How it’s going
By 2010, our first online store was up, and before we knew it, people from outside of Australia started asking us if we could save their IKEA sofas.

In 2011, we started running our own workshop in Hong Kong, and then Shenzhen, China. Since then, we’ve continued to grow our team and fulfill our mission of putting smiles on the faces of sofa owners everywhere.

Doing our best to be sustainable
We want you to save your old sofa, not buy a new one, so it stays where it belongs: In your home, not a landfill.

What you won’t find here

Fads

We get that yellow chevron and candy stripes are cool, but we prefer to play it cool with classic slipcover styles that you’ll love for many years to come.

Gimmicks

If you have a sofa problem, we have the solution, even if it means telling you not to buy from us. Our goal is to help you, not try to sell you no matter what.

Bad karma

It takes a village to make the perfect set of slipcovers, so we’ve put together a tiny village of sofa experts who take pride in crafting them with plenty of love, intention and care.

Not ready to break up with your sofa?

We’ll make sure that you won’t have to.
