Welcome to Miss Cooper Makes — a Melbourne-based handmade label by me, Natasha Kuperman.

Every item in the Miss Cooper Makes range is lovingly handmade in my home studio, where creativity meets sustainability. I draw on my background in marketing and design, my deep love for making and crafting, and a commitment to conscious living to bring each piece to life.

Over the years, I’ve explored many creative paths - from running a graphic design studio, to launching a beeswax wrap business that sparked my passion for organic fabrics, and creating the My Home Harvest blog and Facebook page to inspire home-grown food. Today, Miss Cooper Makes is my main creative outlet, and as a dedicated op-shopper and zero-waste enthusiast, I see endless potential in giving materials a second life.

Each piece is thoughtfully crafted with the range including a mix of second-hand and new fabrics. My ethos is simple: slow, sustainable sewing. That means:

Upcycled or recycled materials
Remnants and fabric scraps
Natural and organic fibres
Multi-purpose and reusable designs

I work primarily with natural fibres like cotton, denim, and linen, often sourced from op shops, market stalls, and online de-stash groups. When I do buy new materials, it’s with intention — the perfect zip, strap, or print to complete a piece.

Every item is made with care and attention to detail, using techniques like top stitching for durability and a polished finish. Because everything is handmade, you might notice a charming quirk here or there — a little reminder that your item wasn’t mass-produced, but made by hand, just for you.

Limited runs are the norm, sometimes just one or two of a kind, depending on the fabrics I find. Miss Cooper Makes is on a journey toward becoming a zero-waste studio. Labels are printed on post-consumer-waste paper, packaging is minimal and plastic-free, and leftover scraps are donated to textile recyclers or fellow makers who create small-scale items like buttons and earrings.

Thank you for supporting my handmade, Melbourne-based small business. Every purchase helps keep sustainable creativity alive and I’m so grateful you’re here.
