about us

Founded in 2022 in Melbourne by RMIT Fashion Graduate Despina-Nafsika, Poise N Berries emerged with a clear mission: to create quality, long-lasting, and timeless pieces.

“I started Poise N Berries with the intention of creating the quality, long-lasting items that I could never find.”

Our philosophy is simple: Classic, timeless and feminine designs made from quality, sustainable materials, all thoughtfully crafted with ‘meraki.’

Each design is meticulously handmade to order in our Melbourne studio by Despina-Nafsika, who pours her love and soul into every creation while preventing excessive production.

We are not part of the fast fashion cycle. Our pieces are designed and crafted using intentional, high-quality materials and processes to ensure longevity, as we exclusively source and utilise deadstock fabrics from all over Australia. Our jewellery pieces are handmade using 14k gold filled, sterling silver and real gemstones, sourced from like-minded suppliers.

Our vintage-inspired, seasonless designs are meant to be worn for years, as we advocate for a conscious, thoughtful approach to style and the curation of a timeless wardrobe.

"Poise N Berries is a small ode to my namesake yiayia. A dressmaker herself, and a dynamic personality who always had the reputation of being the most fabulously dressed."

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being here, It would be an honour to create your next forever piece.
