About

As They Kiss Consume is a slow fashion project producing handcrafted items with material integrity.

Our focus is on jewellery and accessories (with the occasional garment), as this is where we feel that genuine self expression is able to shine! We design bold, versatile and highly wearable pieces that straddle the line between design and art. 

We look to the beauty of Art Nouveau, the possibilities of regenerative futurism and history of folklore as inspirations for our pieces. 

 

Making & Materials

Each item has been meticulously handcrafted by our sole maker-designer Sal Rosenberg* in our Brunswick studio (Naarm/Melbourne, Australia) from local or sustainably sourced natural materials. 

To make our knitwear, we:

  • Knit on hand operated domestic knitting machines
  • Create fully fashioned items, meaning pieces are shaped and manipulated directly on the machine
  • Work with an almost zero waste production process
  • Use only natural materials

To make our jewellery, we:

  • Use the lost wax casting method
  • Cast locally with high quality and recycled silver

Unless otherwise noted as Ready To Ship, items will be Made To Order. Please allow two weeks for the production of your item(s). 

* Sal (she/they) is a Naarm/Melbourne based maker-designer producing handcrafted work in the fields of knitwear, jewellery, lighting and sculpture. Sal holds a Bachelor of Fashion (Design) and a Bachelor of Design (Digital Media) and has exhibited in multiple Melbourne Design Week shows. She is currently undertaking creative professional development and mentoring as a recipient of Craft Victoria’s Fresh! Fellowship (2025).

Sustainability

For us, sustainability was non-negotiable. To do our part, we:

  • Have developed our own slow design methodologies
  • Make items using only natural fibres and materials
  • Have a localised supply chain
  • Utilise alternative and heritage methods of production
  • Ship with minimal packaging waste
