  • About The Designer

    Hello, my name is Emily, and welcome to InkTread! I founded InkTread in 2017 while studying Textile Design, Development, and Custom Footwear at RMIT University. The name InkTread beautifully symbolizes the blend of my two passions: "Ink" represents the various inks, dyes, and materials I use in textile design, and "Tread" reflects my expertise in footwear design.My interests have always revolved around the creative arts and business management. Growing up, I spent countless hours at my grandparents' home, watching my grandmother breathe new life into old clothes with her sewing machine. Her skill in replacing zippers and elastic bands left a lasting impression on me. As I got older, she taught me how to operate a sewing machine, and by the time I was in year 12, I was creating elaborate costumes for theatre productions.With a deep-seated passion for both creative arts and business, I decided to combine these interests in 2024 and fully commit to InkTread. Today, my boutique is based in the southeastern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia were each scrunchie and bow is handmade with the utmost care and love, ensuring the highest quality for my customers.Thank you for supporting my small home-based business. I am excited to share my creations with you and hope they bring you as much joy as they bring me to make them.
