Up the creek

Saltwater crocodile
Watch out where you swim in across northern Australia. These enormous beasts outnumber people and if you find yourself up the creek with a hungry croc, well, you’re up the creek all right! Saltwater crocodiles are one of the deadliest animals in Australia and are the largest extant crocodiles in the world. Dating back to the Mesozoic Era, they were hunted almost to extinction in Australia before becoming a protected species in 1971. While ‘salties’ spend most of their time lurking in murky waters, they can also jump considerable distances out of it and run fast for short distances. Their powerful jaws can apply up to 5,000 pounds of pressure per square inch - yet they don’t open easily and can be held shut with a rubber band - if you dare get close enough to slip one on!

glasses slip cases
Our glasses cases have a sturdy canvas outer printed with our own designs. They are lined inside and feature a padded layer to provide protection for your glasses cases while taking up much less room in your bag than a hard carry case.
They fit most glasses, being 10cm across and around 20cm tall.
They're durable and washable and customers report the fun bright prints make them easy to find in your bag.
Handmade with love
Every fabric used in our glasses cases is designed by Boo at Susurrus Studio in Darwin River, located an hour south of Darwin in the hot tropics of Australia. Boo draws much of her inspiration from her bush environment, especially the birds and flora of the Top End and across Australia.
The fabrics are printed with care in Sydney. When they arrive, Boo steps away from the design table and leans into the sewing machine to hand craft each item.
