A new favourite tool ⚡️

I love my scissors but for precisely cutting lengths of canvas this is next level ...

So quick and so neat!

Another very tough prototype ... and another problem solved

Will be finally announcing details of masks later this week - sign up to the newsletter to be the first to know - link in bio

Would also love to hear… https://t.co/CSvxrNlhwm

When things get interesting in the world .... I make a new prototype 😂

An A5ish sling/bum bag using the new laser cut aluminium hardware to carry masks and be machine washable ...

What would you carry in this?… https://t.co/rF4AwOAMkj

Mask prototype in NGV bluestone

Still more wear/wash/fit testing to be done though initial versions are promising

@ShopifySupport @ShopifyUX Thanks Tira :)

I’m happy to help in any way I can.

Would an email be the best place to start?

If so perhaps you can DM me the best address?

[Matt Thomson @mattt_melbourne]

@ShopifyUX Love, love using @Shopify, but really, really, really struggling to use #ShopifyEmail

Can I share my experience and help make this the incredible feature it should be?

The contact sorting, Mailchimp import + sketchy unsubscribe page are minimal but so not viable ...

[Matt Thomson @mattt_melbourne]

Very sketchy and very not to scale potential layout of the new studio.

Moving next week into an amazing space in the Mercator Building at the @TheConvent

At the moment planning for lots of plants and natural… https://t.co/pruI3K0nHO

These are wild times

It’s almost impossible to know the best response to everything that’s happening with things changing so fast, but seems everyone’s doing what they can

I’ve just added a blog post about what… https://t.co/PkCrpkd7bA

Amazing to finally visit specialty_pleaters as part of @vamff

So much inspiration (and ideas), will take a while to process it all

Who might be interested in a bag with a pleated panel?

What might be the… https://t.co/QPxJBU5iYj

Retiring = 3 bags and 12 fabrics

Spending today at the east_brunswick_village Makers Market

I’ll be here until 5pm

[Matt Thomson @mattt_melbourne]

A new favourite bag?

Perfect for larger laptops, too many papers and a pocket for everything (and/or a great baby bag)

Also a shoulderbag and backpack and works with whatever width strap suits you (I like a… https://t.co/SoxxSC5tLZ

[Matt Thomson @mattt_melbourne]

A reasonable representation of the studio

Where every single bag is cut, sewn and finished
