Getting to Know: Toon and Mark - the New Owners of Remedy Clothing
From Inspiration to Innovation
“We’ve always believed that sustainability isn’t optional - it’s essential,” Toon and Mark explain. “Fashion is one of the most wasteful industries in the world, and we wanted to be part of the solution, not the problem.” Remedy was born from this conviction, offering garments made entirely from recycled textiles like cotton, polyester, linen, all designed to be 100% recyclable again. PALATE Bags complement this vision, transforming recycled plastics and ethical leather into luxurious, wearable art. Together, Remedy x PALATE proves that sustainability and high fashion are not opposites - they’re the ultimate combination.
Why Circular Fashion Matters
For Toon and Mark, circularity means more than recycling. “It’s about giving materials a second life and designing with their next life in mind,” they say. Every piece is created to be worn, loved, and then reborn, whether through recycling, reusing, or reimagining. “Fashion should not only look good, but do good.”
How They Want You to Feel
Empowered. Expressive. Connected. That’s the goal when you wear Remedy x PALATE. “Every piece carries a story of renewal, creativity, and responsibility,” they share. “We want people to feel proud knowing their style is part of something bigger.”
The Design Process: A Dialogue with Materials
Working with recycled and repurposed materials is both challenging and rewarding. “We start with what already exists - discarded textiles, plastics, leather - and let their character inspire the design,” they explain. The result? Authentic, luxurious pieces that transform waste into beauty.
Joining the South Melbourne Market Community
“What excites us most is the spirit of connection,” they say. “The Market is a place where people come to discover and share stories. It’s the perfect environment for starting conversations about sustainability and conscious living.”
Inspiring Change
Their stall is designed to spark curiosity. “We want shoppers to see that fashion doesn’t have to be wasteful - it can be circular, expressive, and inspiring,” they say. Every garment and bag is proof that style and sustainability can coexist.
What’s Next for Remedy x PALATE?
The future is bold: launching the Remade initiative, where customers can return well-loved pieces to be transformed into limited-edition designs. And beyond that, a zero-waste lifestyle platform offering apparel, accessories, home goods, and travel pieces, all rooted in transparency and sustainability.
Visit Toon and Mark at Remedy in Centre Aisle, Stall 183. Open on all market days - Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 8am.
