About Us
Welcome to Carmel's Designs
At Carmel's Designs, we are passionate about creating high-quality, elegant, and relaxed clothing for women of all ages. Our founder and designer, Carmel Patchett, draws inspiration from her love of nature and the relaxed Australian coastal lifestyle. She combines high-quality natural fabrics like linen and cotton with knits for texture and silks for soft draping and elegance. Each garment is thoughtfully designed and carefully crafted to last season after season.
Our Story
Carmel launched her label as a one-woman show in Queensland in 1999 and has developed it to sell in more than 40 boutiques nationwide. She has also launched three signature retail stores - all by the sea, of course - in Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast and Peregian Beach and Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast. These retail stores are stocked with Carmel's designs and other designer clothing labels which compliment her collection. Also, handpicked homewares, furniture, and design books, and many more treasures found, all inspired by her natural environment.
