The Story
Coming to life in 2014, Wonder What You Were is a range of handcrafted accessories for you and your home. Preloved textiles are deconstructed and transformed into small batch and one-of-a-kind designs that bring a unique style to those who enjoy surrounding themselves with earth friendly treasures.

Every piece is designed and handcrafted by me, Cindy Choua, in my home based studio in South Australia. Inspired by found fabrics that are full of colour, pattern and history my creations are designed in the moment, working with an overall pattern but piecing and embellishing fabrics on the fly! Anything is open to repurposing, including elements from all manner of preloved items such as clothing, jewellery, belts, bags, shoes and linens.
Committing to living lightly on this earth is a challenge, there is much work to be done in a myriad of areas, particularly around the reduction of waste so I'm happy to offer this little range of preloved textile wares, it is my attempt at the 'war on waste'. If you have any questions about the textiles and resources I use please feel free to send me a message via the contact form.
I do believe that if you step outside the box, you will see beauty ready to be transformed in even the most unsuspecting item.
