Bonds is an Australian icon. From the famous chesty bonds to the beloved Sarah Murdoch (nee O'Hare), bonds have a place somewhere in all our hearts here in Oz. So that's why I was excited to be asked to test out their new “Made to Share” clothing range, and not only because of bonds, but because the idea was to include Henry. He has been feeling left out while I've been gallivanting around the country (and world) getting sent packages daily while he just gets sent bills and is excited to sometimes be able to catch a train somewhere new. So yes, not only was I excited at this opportunity, to say Henry was excited too, is an understatement. I got an excited text message from him when they arrived and came home after work to find him already getting comfortable in the cute jeans look shorts and grey t-shirt.
I love how the pieces look so grunge and casual and that they are truly unisex and totally share-a-ble. We are both wearing heather grey The Crew Tee's and distressed black The Short's in our casual Sunday looks.
Next we decided to each dress up the black The Crew Tee's in our own way.
As soon as I felt the soft texture on the white Tanker singlet I knew I wanted to shred it. Finding the right piece to shred is like finding the holy grail. Some pieces can take days and days to shred, but this only took me an hour. What this means is the threads are loosely woven, which is what makes the tees and singlets in this range so soft and luxurious and almost like your wearing nothing. I wore mine over the black The Crew Tee with my new favourite wedges.
Henry wore his black The Crew Tee with his cream chino's, chambray shirt and boat shoes, his current uniform of choice for both day and night.
I have good news for all of you. Thanks to Bonds I have two amazing competitions coming up. More to be revealed soon so watch this space.
Very cute :) so how does one shred a shirt, I'm quite curious :)

Yes! I love the shred! Looks so comfy and so chic!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea. I love sharing tshirts with my boy, his are always so much softer and more worn-in than mine... But now we can share. :)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the competitions!
Aw, Henry looks so pleased! ADORABLE.
ReplyDeleteHayley, you look soooo good without your glasses on! Super cute! And so is your boy by the way!! ;)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the sharing... now, where's that shred-a-shirt tutorial?
ReplyDeleteI love your shredded DIY on the singlet, but I have to say I don't believe Bonds is in the heart of Australians anymore. Since moving their production offshore they've lost the loyalty of many Australians, myself included.
ReplyDeleteha ha fashion henry gets to model on your blog! wish you guys were around to come to my party ;o(
ReplyDeleteoh i love the shredded tee btw. it looks amazing
xx chris

I shredded my first skivvy last night and it turned out great, it can become addictive!
I am wondering Hayley, how do you wash your shredded tees?
