All Taybian Design products are designed and produced in Brisbane, by Melissa Hoedel.

After finishing a Bachelor of Fine Arts, with a double major of Photography and Painting, from the University of Tasmania in 2000, she has worked as a professional photographer commercially and participated in solo and group exhibitions.

Since the completion of her studies, Melissa has also designed several clothing lines, exhibiting these in several fashion shows, including Tasmanian Fashion Week in 2001.

Also going on to collaborate with one of Tasmania’s leading hairdressing salons.

Since moving to Brisbane, Melissa has been working in the area of marketing and further developed her graphic design skills.

It seemed a natural progression to combine her ‘passion for fashion’ with her other artistic and business skills, thus Taybian Design was born.

With all Taybian Design accessories, the utmost care is taken in the construction.

All bags have been thoroughly tested for comfort and durability.

Not only comfortable, but beautiful, all Taybian Design accessories use vibrant and relevant fabrics, focusing on quality, colour and texture.

Every bag purchased comes packed in its very own complimentary Taybian Design Calico Carry Bag.

How do I clean my bag if I get it dirty?

       Spot cleaning is recommended, with a soft cloth with warm soapy water using gentle detergent. The bags can be machine washed once turned inside out, with cold water and on gentle cycle, though this is not recommended on a regular basis.

How durable are your bags?

          All bags (apart from the calico carry bags) are made from beautiful soft upholstery fabric. The utmost care is taken in the construction and all bags have been thoroughly tested for comfort and durability. Though the fabric is extremely durable the weave is quite large, therefore can be susceptible to snags.
