Vanessa Bell, “Fashion To Farmer” intertwines the finest Australian Merino wool into each design, crafted with mastery for sophistication. Stay tuned for our chic knitwear collection and charming baby blankets, symbols of our dedication to luxury and sustainability.
I fell in love with Merino wool when I walked the fashion runways and worked with iconic brands such as Chanel and Anne Klein.
Now, as an entrepreneur with a major land holding, I still believe in being brave. I’m anchored in my values of courage, innovation and integrity. You can learn more about the Vanessa Bell brand here.
I’m proud to support the Australian Wool industry. You can learn more about the industry and nature’s miracle fibre via The Woolmark Company’s website.
“Fashion To Farmer”, you’ll usually find me in my favourite RM Williams boots, either in the shed or out and about in the paddocks.
