Inspired by, loved by, always with, your Platonic Lover.

Platonic Lover is inspired by the deep love and connection shared in our interpersonal relationships. The feelings that hold you in awe of your platonic lovers. It’s a natural occurrence of humans coming together, embracing the interconnectedness that we all share. 

More than ever, human interaction today is being replaced by screens, and we find ourselves living in a time of loneliness and isolation. Platonic Lover is the antithesis of this. We are founded on nurturing connections, as it is these connections that influence our unique sensibilities. 

We encourage our wearers to explore their self-expression through what we make, adapting the pieces in their own unique ways, and fostering the connections between us.

Our Ethos.

All the garments are hand made in Sydney, Australia, using natural yarns and fibres. They are one-off pieces, constructed using both traditional and modern knitting techniques.

These hand-made tactile objects - worn by the body - are sustainable and ethically made. Each garment draws on the connection to the natural world, reminiscent of the contours and colours in the landscape.

Platonic Lover is dedicated to making knitted pieces that are multi-faceted, to be worn in whatever way the wearer pleases, taking on new forms, shapes and possibilities.

Acknowledgement of Country.

Platonic Lover is created on the lands of the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation. We pay our respects to the Indigenous Elders, past, present and emerging. Sovereignty has never been ceded.
