      <![CDATA[<p>The <strong>Saradon</strong> is one of our most-loved <a href="/collections/honey-bunch">Honey Bunch the Label</a> designs, and it's easy to see why. It has long flared sleeves, a flattering V-neck wrap and a big ruffle hem that swishes when you walk. It's also the dress we get the most sizing questions about. The short answer: <strong>most women should size down.</strong> Here's why, plus how it looks on different women.</p>
<div style="max-width:440px;margin:32px auto;text-align:center;">
  <a href="/products/boheme-plume-saradon-dress"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1321/7959/files/Boheme_Plume_Saradon_Dress_1.jpg?v=1748978055&amp;width=800" alt="Boheme Plume Saradon wrap maxi dress worn on the beach" style="display:block;width:100%;height:auto;margin:0 auto;border-radius:14px;box-shadow:0 8px 24px rgba(0,0,0,0.08);"></a>
  <p style="margin:12px 0 0;text-align:center;font-style:italic;font-size:15px;letter-spacing:0.03em;"><a href="/products/boheme-plume-saradon-dress" style="color:inherit;text-decoration:none;border-bottom:1px solid currentColor;padding-bottom:2px;">The Boheme Plume Saradon · $149</a></p>
</div>
<h2>5 reasons to size down in the Saradon</h2>
<h3>1. It's designed to be voluminous</h3>
<p>The Saradon uses a lot of fabric on purpose. The full skirt, wide flared sleeves and large ruffle hem give it that dreamy, floaty movement. That volume is part of the look, but it means the dress already feels roomy. Going down a size keeps the shape flowing without looking oversized.</p>
<h3>2. The wrap and tie let you adjust the fit</h3>
<p>Because it's a true wrap dress, you control how snug it sits at the waist. The waist range of each size overlaps with the next. For example, the XS fits roughly 74–86 cm around the waist, and the SM fits 80–92 cm. So the smaller size will usually still close comfortably, and simply ties a little tighter.</p>
<h3>3. The bust is cut generously</h3>
<p>The Saradon has bust pleats so it sits beautifully on fuller busts. If you have a smaller or average bust, your usual size can leave extra fabric and gaping at the front. Sizing down gives a neater fit through the bodice. (If you love a size but the bust is a little loose, a tailor can easily take in the bust darts.)</p>
<h3>4. There's lots of room built in</h3>
<p>Our model Tee normally wears a size 6–8, with an 88 cm bust, and she wears the <strong>XS</strong>. The XS measures roughly 98–102 cm around the bust, so there's still plenty of ease even in our smallest size.</p>
<h3>5. The length barely changes between sizes</h3>
<p>Worried a smaller size will be too short? The length only changes by a few centimetres across the whole range, from about 141 cm in the XS to 148 cm in the XXL. Sizing down won't turn your maxi into a midi.</p>
<h2>See the Saradon on different women</h2>
<p>The Saradon looks different on every body, and we love that. Here it is on a range of women, heights and shapes, in four of our prints.</p>

<h2>When to stay in your usual size</h2>
<p>Sizing down suits most women, but not everyone. We'd recommend sticking with your usual size, or even going up if you're between sizes, if:</p>
<ul>
  <li>
<strong>You have a fuller bust (E cup and above).</strong> The Saradon is made for busty girls, but the wrap needs enough fabric to cross over comfortably at the front.</li>
  <li>
<strong>Your waist is at the top of the range.</strong> Always check the waist measurement as well as the bust, so the wrap closes with room to tie.</li>
  <li>
<strong>You've bought a Saradon before.</strong> The current version (Mark Two) has a slightly more fitted bust than the original, so <a href="/pages/contact-us">get in touch</a> and we'll help you confirm your size.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Saradon size chart</h2>
<p>These are flat-lay measurements in centimetres. Double the bust and waist to get the full circumference. New to flat-lay measuring? Our <a href="/blogs/news/flatlay-measurements">flat lay guide</a> shows you how.</p>

<strong>Food-grade silicone:</strong> flexible trays, so the ice pops straight out.</li>

<strong>A gift that's easy to love:</strong> fun, useful and just $24.95 each.</li>

    <title>Top 12 Things To Do in Kuranda: A Local’s Guide to Australia’s Rainforest Village</title>
    <author>

      <![CDATA[<p><em>Written by the team at Tonketti, a boho boutique at 11 Coondoo Street in the heart of Kuranda village. We see visitors arrive every day by Skyrail, train and car, and these are the things we tell them not to miss.</em></p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1321/7959/files/Tonketti_Fashion_Shoot-15.jpg?v=1748574916" alt="Boho fashion shoot in the Kuranda rainforest"></p>
<h2>Why visit Kuranda?</h2>
<p>Kuranda is a small village in the rainforest-covered hills above Cairns in Tropical North Queensland. It sits inside the World Heritage-listed Wet Tropics, and in one day you can ride a cableway over the treetops, walk among butterflies and birds, browse the markets and have a long lunch. Most visitors come for a day trip from Cairns or Port Douglas, but staying a night lets you see the village once the day crowds have gone.</p>
<h2>Getting to Kuranda</h2>
<ul>
  <li>
<strong>Skyrail Rainforest Cableway</strong>: a gondola that glides over the rainforest canopy, with stops at Red Peak and Barron Falls. Some gondolas have glass floors.</li>
  <li>
<strong>Kuranda Scenic Railway</strong>: a historic train from Cairns that winds through hand-cut tunnels and past waterfalls, with a stop at Barron Falls.</li>
  <li>
<strong>Self-drive</strong>: about 30 minutes from Cairns up the Kuranda Range Road, with lookouts along the way. There's paid and free parking around the village.</li>
  <li>
<strong>Bus</strong>: <a href="https://www.transnorthbus.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trans North</a> runs a regular, affordable bus service from Cairns. Check their timetable before you go.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Local tip:</strong> take the Scenic Railway up and the Skyrail down (or the other way round). You get two completely different views of the rainforest, and most combo tickets are built around this.</p>
<h2>The 12 best things to do in Kuranda</h2>
<h3>1. Shop the boutiques of Kuranda village</h3>
<p>Kuranda's main streets are full of independent shops you won't find anywhere else. At <a href="/pages/visit-us-in-store-at-tonketti-trading-kuranda">Tonketti on Coondoo Street</a> you'll find light, breathable <a href="/collections/summer-dresses">boho dresses</a>, <a href="/collections/outerwear">kimonos</a>, <a href="/collections/boho-bandeaus">bandeaus</a> and <a href="/collections/homewares">gifts and homewares</a>. It's all chosen for the tropical climate, so you can buy something in the morning and wear it for the rest of your trip. Can't fit it in your luggage? Everything is also <a href="/collections/new-arrivals">available online</a>, with free shipping on Australian orders over $120.</p>
<h3>2. Explore the Kuranda Original Rainforest Markets</h3>
<p>Kuranda's first market started back in the 1970s and still has the most bohemian feel in town. You'll find stalls under the trees selling local art, handmade jewellery, fresh juices and souvenirs. It's a lovely, relaxed place to wander.</p>
<h3>3. Browse the Heritage Markets</h3>
<p>A short walk from the station, the Heritage Markets are fully undercover, so they're a great choice on a rainy day. You'll find Aboriginal art, local crafts and souvenirs. Two of Kuranda's wildlife attractions, Birdworld and the Koala Gardens, are here too, which makes it easy with kids.</p>
<h3>4. Walk among butterflies at the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary</h3>
<p>Walk through a huge aviary full of free-flying tropical butterflies, including the electric-blue Ulysses butterfly. Wear something bright, because butterflies are often drawn to colourful clothing and may land on you. It's calm, beautiful and great for all ages.</p>
<h3>5. Meet the birds at Birdworld Kuranda</h3>
<p>Inside the Heritage Markets, Birdworld is a walk-through aviary where colourful birds such as macaws, lorikeets and the prehistoric-looking cassowary live in landscaped rainforest. Many birds fly freely around you, so bring your camera.</p>
<h3>6. Cuddle up at Kuranda Koala Gardens</h3>
<p>A compact wildlife park where you can meet koalas, wombats, wallabies and reptiles up close. Koala photos are available for an extra fee.</p>
<h3>7. Ride the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway</h3>
<p>Even if you arrived by train, try to go down by Skyrail. Floating just above the canopy is the best way to understand how big and old this rainforest really is. Hop off at Red Peak for the boardwalk and at Barron Falls for the lookouts.</p>
<h3>8. See Barron Falls</h3>
<p>The Barron Gorge lookouts give you a view straight across the falls. They're most dramatic in the wet season (roughly December to April), when the falls turn into a roaring curtain of water. The Skyrail and Scenic Railway both stop here, or it's a short drive from the village.</p>
<h3>9. Take the Kuranda Scenic Railway</h3>
<p>Since the 1890s this railway has climbed the range through 15 tunnels and over bridges past waterfalls. It's one of the most famous train rides in Australia, and the heritage carriages are a big part of the charm.</p>
<h3>10. Cruise the Barron River on the Kuranda Riverboat</h3>
<p>Leaving from just below Kuranda Station, the riverboat drifts along the calm Barron River. Look out for freshwater crocodiles, turtles, water dragons and birdlife while the guide tells you about the river's ecosystem. It's a lovely way to slow down after a busy morning in the village.</p>
<h3>11. Visit Rainforestation Nature Park</h3>
<p>Just outside the village, Rainforestation combines an Army Duck ride through the rainforest, a wildlife park and an Aboriginal cultural experience with dance performances and boomerang throwing. Allow a half day, and look for combo tickets with the Skyrail or railway.</p>
<h3>12. Walk the rainforest trails</h3>
<p>For a free, peaceful break from the crowds, try the <strong>Jumrum Creek</strong> walk, an easy track starting near the village centre where you might spot birds and wildlife. The riverside walks around the village are also lovely in the early morning.</p>
<h2>Where to eat and drink in Kuranda</h2>
<p>The village has plenty of cafés serving locally grown coffee, tropical fruit smoothies and casual lunches. Our favourites include <strong>Petit Café</strong> for amazing crêpes and the much-loved <strong>Frogs Restaurant</strong> for a sit-down lunch on the deck.</p>
<h2>Where to stay in Kuranda</h2>
<p>There are some lovely Airbnbs and rainforest stays in and around Kuranda if you want to wake up to birdsong. Book early for school holidays and the Christmas period.</p>
<h2>What to wear in Kuranda</h2>
<p>Kuranda is warm and humid most of the year, and rain can come through at any time, especially between December and April. Here's what we recommend to visitors:</p>
<ul>
  <li>
<strong>Light, loose fabrics</strong> like cotton, linen and rayon. A <a href="/collections/summer-dresses">flowy maxi or midi dress</a> or <a href="/collections/bottoms">relaxed pants</a> will keep you cool walking around the village.</li>
  <li>
<strong>A light layer</strong> such as a <a href="/collections/outerwear">kimono</a> for the Skyrail, air-conditioned cafés and cooler mornings in winter.</li>
  <li>
<strong>Comfortable walking shoes</strong>, because there are hills, boardwalks and market lanes to explore.</li>
  <li>
<strong>A hat, sunscreen and insect repellent</strong>, plus a small umbrella or rain jacket in the wet season.</li>
  <li>
<strong>A <a href="/collections/boho-bandeaus">bandeau or headband</a></strong> to keep your hair off your neck in the humidity.</li>
</ul>
<p>Forgot something? Pop into <a href="/pages/visit-us-in-store-at-tonketti-trading-kuranda">Tonketti in Kuranda</a> and we'll help you find something comfortable to wear for the rest of your trip.</p>
<h2>Tips for visiting Kuranda</h2>
<ul>
  <li>
<strong>Arrive early.</strong> Most shops and attractions open around 9:30–10am and many close by 3–4pm, so plan for a morning arrival.</li>
  <li>
<strong>Mix up your transport.</strong> Train one way and Skyrail the other gives you the full experience.</li>
  <li>
<strong>Look for combo tickets.</strong> Many operators bundle the railway, Skyrail and wildlife parks at a discount.</li>
  <li>
<strong>Check the weather.</strong> Rain is common, but the rainforest is at its most beautiful when it's wet. The Heritage Markets are fully undercover.</li>
  <li>
<strong>Stay for the afternoon.</strong> The village is quieter once the tour groups head back down the range.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Plan your Kuranda day</h2>
<p>Kuranda is more than a scenic day trip. It's a village where the rainforest, local culture and creative small businesses all meet. Add it to your Tropical North Queensland itinerary, and when you're wandering down Coondoo Street, come in and say hello at <a href="/pages/visit-us-in-store-at-tonketti-trading-kuranda">Tonketti</a>. We'd love to meet you.</p>

    <title>The Gift of Giving in 2022</title>
    <author>

      <![CDATA[<p>Humans are an incredibly social species and have a remarkable ability to form and maintain relationships with others! According to the Psychology of Gifting, we often give gifts to confirm and establish our connection with someone. It is a way to communicate our feelings and appreciation for that person. In some circumstances it can symbolise love and devotion to someone close or it can be a means of getting to know someone better.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.tonkettitrading.com.au/" target="_blank" title="Home Page" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1321/7959/files/DSC_5611_600x600.jpg?v=1667777444" style="float: none;"></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<p>With that in mind thoughtful gifts should generally be;</p>
<ol>
<li>Connected to the persons hobbies and interests</li>
</ol>
<p>Here you can think about what they value and how they spend their free time. What makes them smile? If you are unsure, take a moment to consider the style of their home, or scroll through some of their social media photos. Maybe the receiver is a nature-based enthusiast who loves raw and natural gifts that mimic the natural environment for example. Here you could opt for a pretty <a href="https://www.tonkettitrading.com.au/search?type=product&amp;q=pot+plant" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">pot plant</a>, a <a href="https://www.tonkettitrading.com.au/search?type=product&amp;q=book" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">nature book</a> or an item that they can wear or use when <a href="https://www.tonkettitrading.com.au/search?type=product&amp;q=outdoor" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">outdoors</a>. Whatever your <a href="https://www.tonkettitrading.com.au/search?type=product&amp;q=gift" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">gift</a> may be, if it reflects the recipient’s likes and interest and enhances their experience with their hobbies, it will likely mean the world to them!</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.tonkettitrading.com.au/collections/homewares" target="_blank" title="Homewares" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1321/7959/files/DSC_2326-3_600x600.jpg?v=1667777554" style="float: none;"></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<ol start="2">
<li>Centre your gift around a shared memory</li>
</ol>
<p>Have you ever heard the phrase “it’s the thought that counts” when it comes to gifting? The underlying denominator here, is ensuring that the gift is well-thought-out with a level of care. Something that evokes a nice memory will always be well received. For example, a <a href="https://www.tonkettitrading.com.au/search?type=product&amp;q=candle" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">candle</a>, <a href="https://www.tonkettitrading.com.au/search?type=product&amp;q=oil+roller" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">roll on</a> or <a href="https://www.tonkettitrading.com.au/search?type=product&amp;q=diffuser" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">diffuser</a> where the scent takes you both back to a unique time. I remember receiving a perfume that my best friend sent to me while she was travelling the world. It was a scent that we used as teenagers when we would dress up and go out together. The ‘feel good emotions’ that took hold of me when I sprayed its divine mist was a flood of happy tears! I will never forget opening that one. Recreate the experience or bring to life the memories that you had together and look forward to more in the future.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.tonkettitrading.com.au/collections/candles" target="_blank" title="Candles" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1321/7959/files/DSC_2496_600x600.jpg?v=1667776840" style="float: none;"></a></div>
<ol start="3">
<li>Put together a gift <a href="https://www.tonkettitrading.com.au/search?type=product&amp;q=basket" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">basket</a> that gives off ‘feel good feels’</li>
</ol>
<p>Something special, that doesn’t necessarily have to be serious. Something that will make the receiver giggle and give them feel good feels. Think about their sense of humour, what sets them off? This can be just as important as making it a heartfelt gift.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.tonkettitrading.com.au/search?type=product&amp;q=drink" target="_blank" title="Drink" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1321/7959/files/RESTOCKED_2_1024x1024.gif?v=1667780397" style="float: none;"></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<ol start="4">
<li>Find a unique or super-niche gift card to add</li>
</ol>
<p>You can go completely generic, or you could again match the card with the receiver’s interest and hobbies. Tap into their sense of humour with something funny or moving. Something that will give them a sense of pleasure and familiarity.</p>
<ol start="5">
<li>Write a heartful message with your gift</li>
</ol>
<p>Take a moment to yourself (if possible) to think about the person. What is it that you like about them? Why do you think they are special and worthy of your gift? Let them know, with a heartfelt personalised note. Close you eyes and picture the person for a moment…this can really help!</p>
<ol start="6">
<li>Wrap your gift with personalised wrapping paper</li>
</ol>
<p>You have the <a href="https://www.tonkettitrading.com.au/search?type=product&amp;q=gift" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">perfect gift</a>, you have written a heartfelt message in the super-niche gift card, now it is time to wrap it! Think about their favourite colours, what sort of patterns or prints do they like. Again, is there a wrapping paper that appeals to their interests, hobbies or even a memory that you have shared?</p>
<div style="text-align: right;"></div>
<p>At the end of the day if you are stuck for ideas, a <a href="https://www.tonkettitrading.com.au/products/rise-ai-giftcard?_pos=1&amp;_sid=92b991257&amp;_ss=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Gift Voucher</a> will always ensure they will be gifted something that they can completely resonate with.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.tonkettitrading.com.au/products/rise-ai-giftcard" target="_blank" title="Gift Voucher" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1321/7959/files/DSC_0442_600x600.jpg?v=1667778357" style="float: none;"></a></div>
<p>Many people relish in the idea of gift giving. The excitement of providing something special that will truly excite and delight them is a wonderful feeling for both parties!</p>

      <![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: left;">What are Flat Lay Measurements?</h2>
<p>You might notice some of our <a href="https://www.tonkettitrading.com.au/collections/clothing" title="How to order the perfect fit online">products listings</a> include <strong>Flat Lay Measurements</strong>.</p>
<p>With <strong>Flat Lay<span> </span>Measurements, </strong>we lay the garment on the counter and measure from one side of the garment to the other. </p>
<div style="text-align: left;"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1321/7959/files/DSC_1004_600x600.jpg?v=1620604277" alt="Flat Lay Measurements" style="margin-right: 27.5px; margin-left: 27.5px; float: none;" width="600x600" height="600x600"></div>
<p>We usually only do this measurement where we feel there is a critical fit. Often it is just the bust measurement on a dress. If the sleeves are more fitted we will include a measurement for there, as well as any other areas we feel are relevant and require measuring.</p>
<div style="text-align: left;"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1321/7959/files/DSC_1021_600x600.jpg?v=1620604331" alt="Important note: All our Flat Lay measurements are approximate, there is no guarantee that every item will be the same due to the nature of the manufacturing process. It is not viable for every garment to be measured before sending." style="margin-right: 27.5px; margin-left: 27.5px; float: none;" width="600x600" height="600x600"></div>
<p>You can compare that measurement to a similar dress you have in your wardrobe. Just be careful that they are the same type of fabric, you don’t want to compare a stretch fabric with a Rayon which has no stretch.</p>
<p>Sometimes we measure the waist of pants and dresses that have elastic. We will include a measurement unstretched and then stretch the elastic to about 90% capacity and include a measurement of that.</p>
<div style="text-align: left;"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1321/7959/files/DSC_1019_600x600.jpg?v=1620604378" alt="Important note: All our Flat Lay measurements are approximate, there is no guarantee that every item will be the same due to the nature of the manufacturing process. It is not viable for every garment to be measured before sending." style="margin-right: 27.5px; margin-left: 27.5px; float: none;" width="600x600" height="600x600"></div>
<p>Points to note with a Flatlay Measurement</p>
<ol>
<li>Try not to go with a tight fit, allow at least a couple of cm wiggle room or more depending on the style.</li>
<li>Some styles are meant to be worn loose so have a good look at the modelling photos to determine if this is the case.</li>
<li>These measurements are just a guide, if you are worried please contact us with your measurements and we can advise best fit.</li>
<li>STRETCH fabrics are too hard to measure like this, it is best to observe how the item fits the model and any other fit recommendations we might have. Stretch is usually a little more forgiving. </li>
</ol>
<p>Items like jeans and super stretchy items are difficult to do Flat lay with. It is best to read our descriptions for advice.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Here is examples of the text we will write. </span></p>
<p>The XS bust measurement of 43cm would have a circumference of 86cm - i.e. you double the measurement. You would then check to see if there is any elastic in that area, is it meant to be worn as a tight fit on the bust. </p>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<p>Flatlay Measurements:</p>
<p>BUST</p>
<p>XS - 43 CM = 86cm circumference</p>
<p>SM - 45 CM = 90cm circumference</p>
<p>ML - 47 CM</p>
<p>XL - 50 CM</p>
<p>HIPS</p>
<p>XS - 55 CM = 110cm circumference</p>
<p>SM - 57 CM</p>
<p>ML - 59 CM</p>
<p>XL - 61 CM</p>
<p>LENGTH WAIST TO BOTTOM OF OUTFIT SIDE SEAM</p>
<p>XS - 105 CM = Don't double this measurement . We estimate where the waist would sit. Some items we might measure from centre back to bottom of outfit. </p>
<h3>Some terms to look out for:</h3>
<p>RELAXED FIT - Generally means the item is generous in sizing and you may need to size down. It is best to contact us if you are concerned. </p>
<p>TRUE TO SIZE - Means that the item is generally True to Size for that brand only. As there are no standard sizing in Australia every brand is different. Even some brands can vary wildly in their sizing between styles. Jaase is one brand that has some big variances between styles.</p>
<p>Despite our best efforts sometimes certain styles don't suit all body shapes. If you receive something you aren't happy with please contact us to discuss something that maybe more suitable for your body shape. </p>
<p><em>Important note:</em> All our Flat Lay Measurements are approximate, there is no guarantee that every item will be the same due to the nature of the manufacturing process. It is not viable for every garment to be measured before sending. </p>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span>Once the page was established I started to share my outfits on my Instagram account. My unique look is a mix of boho, vintage and sometimes a Little Rock chick. I’m a huge advocate for thrift shopping and love to mix my finds with new pieces to create my looks. It’s a way for me to express my creativity and I think there’s nothing more appealing than seeing someone be authentically them. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span>At 51 years of age, I don’t believe in age appropriate dressing, I think we should rock whatever look we want as long as it makes us happy."</span></div>

<p>Jaase has really done a great job of providing us with a lovely range of Jackets this year. We love being a stockist of so many amazing and affordable products, their styles are ever changing and always on trend.</p>
<h2>Belmont Jacket</h2>
<p>The Jaase Belmont Jacket has been my most popular to date with many of my customers going crazy for this lovely new style. I must admit I had to get one myself in the Raya Print which suits my colouring perfectly. There was a small issue with the band on the sleeves being a little tight on some, Jaase had noted that so I think any future makes will resolve this issue! </p>
<h2>Tan Sivan Jacket</h2>
<p>Another super popular style was the Jaase Tan Sivan Jacket, wow wee it was amazing and my online customers swooped on them.</p>
<h2>Jodi Jacket</h2>
<p>Jaase Jodi Jacket was bought back this year, it is a great allrounder and I have been able to wear it with so many of my Indianas and other outfits. It looks really great, their black one was to die for.</p>
<h2>Amazon Jacket</h2>
<p>My newest favourite is the Amazon Jacket, its' nearly the end of winter up here in Far North Queensland but I am sitting here in it and it is super comfortable. I can't wait to go camping so I can wear it, looking forward to looking stylish around the campfire. So well made with zips on all the pockets, draw strings in lots of places so that you can keep the warmth in. It has a generous hoody so i could wear my hair up in a bun or have a pony tale and the hood still fits, plus I have a big head ha haa! It also has some lovely embroidered features down the arms.</p>
<h2>Carmada Jacket</h2>
<p>If you love the Bohemian embellished look we have the Carmada Jacket in, with a faux suede fabric, embellished embroidered section across shoulders with some light coins dangling down. My favourite part is the unusual tassles that are half dingle berries and half tassles, they are super cute.</p>
<h2>Electric Feels Jacket</h2>
<p>Something completely different is the Electric Feels Navy Jacket. The rich Navy colour is really something else and the embellished sleeve cuffs are super cool!.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img alt="Jaase Electric Feels Jacket" src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1321/7959/files/Jaase_Electric_Feels_Navy_Jacket_compact.jpg?v=1534243629" style="float: none;"><img alt="Belmont Jacket" src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1321/7959/files/180626_Jaase_0606_compact.jpg?v=1534243867" style="float: none;"><img alt="Jaase Carmada Jacket" src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1321/7959/files/Jaase_carmada_side_compact.jpg?v=1534243662" style="float: none;"><em><img alt="Jaase Amazon Jacket" src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1321/7959/files/DSC_1166-2_compact.jpg?v=1534466268" style="float: none;"></em></p>

    <title>Leather Care Tips and Tricks</title>

<h2>Leather Care Tips &amp; Tricks</h2>
<div class="rte">
<p class="p1">Taking proper caring for your newly acquired <span> leather items </span>can sometimes prove to be a worrying task, and requires a fair share of patience. </p>
<p class="p1">First off, keep in mind that natural wear and tear to any leather product is bound to happen, and this ageing affect, called the 'patina,' is a beautiful part of the leather aging process. </p>
<p class="p1">Different types of leather age differently, hardier and thicker cows leather can last longer than a soft suede. Choose carefully considering your lifestyle choices, if you are a rough and tumble fun type then darker coloured leathers might suit you better! </p>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<h2 class="p1"><span>Basic Leather Maintenance </span></h2>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<ul>
<li><span>Whilst our bags are designed to carry all the items you need for a day out and about please note that overloading your bag may result in unnecessary stress on the straps and any damage there of would constitute misuse.</span></li>
<li><span>Give your leather a quick wipe down with a soft, dry cloth maybe once a week.</span></li>
<li><span>Be careful of prolonged exposure direct sunlight.</span></li>
<li>Conditioner specially designed for leather can be applied to keep your leather soft</li>
<li>Before use it is advisable to apply a product like Scotchgard Fabric and Scotchgard Suede. Nubuck Protectors also work well for repelling water and oil. </li>
<li>If you are someone who gets things dirty it is advisable you stay away from lighter colour leathers! </li>
<li>Avoid your leather rubbing against items that might transfer dye to the leather item. This could be a problem with some clothing including denim items</li>
<li>We recommend you don't put sharp objects into the bag that may cause damage to the lining or pierce the lining and damage the leather. Car keys can be sharp in some circumstances, items like these are best kept in a sturdy case or pouch. </li>
<li>Please check over your bag thoroughly before using it, contact us if there is anything you are concerned or unsure about.</li>
</ul>
<div class="rte">
<h2 class="p1"><span>Removing Stains from Leather</span></h2>
<ul>
<li>Let water spills dry on their own. Do not blow dry them or rub too hard, it will look like it is damaged but it should dry fine without intervention!  </li>
<li>For food stains, it's best to crush a small amount of white chalk and let it sit on the stain overnight. In the morning, brush it off with a clean cloth. </li>
<li>For oil stains, it's recommended to put cornstarch on it as soon as possible, rub it in, and immediately brush off the remaining powder with with a clean cloth. </li>
<li>For fresh ink or dirt stains, lightly use a white eraser on the affected area. For older stains that have set in, seek professional help. Upholstery cleaners or even dry cleaners and tailors often have experience in cleaning leather.</li>
</ul>
