About Belynda Macpherson:
Launched in May 2008 with the Autumn/Winter ‘Goethe Collection’, Banjo & Matilda made an instant impact into the Australian knitwear market. Producing garments using 100% cashmere, the collection sold out within weeks and garnered a cult following among celebrities, the media and customers alike. Always a little edgy, but decidedly classic at heart, Banjo & Matilda applies these philosophies to their designs, bringing a bit of Rock ‘n Roll to the subtle luxury of a superb cashmere staple. Using their signature design treatments of extra long sleeves, rolled edge hems, screen-printing, deconstructed finishes and a hand-stitched ‘kiss’ on each style, the label caters to those who crave a secret indulgence that no-one else need know they require. Banjo & Matilda aims to be the provider of all things Cashmerian.
