Zoë May is a small-batch knitwear label rooted in quiet comfort & play.

Each garment is carefully crafted in our Naarm/Melbourne studio using vintage domestic knitting machines and hand knit/crochet techniques.

Values & Practice

Zoë May knits are fully-fashioned - each piece is knit to shape, leaving no offcuts or waste.

Inspired by the Fibershed movement, we aim to localise materials and support regional artisans and suppliers. Where local sourcing isn’t possible, we use certified organic or biodegradable materials to keep our impact as low as possible.

Our studio uses a combination of Australian merino wool, GOTS Certified linen, end-of-mill yarns/fabrics and other salvaged materials to create joyful, heirloom quality pieces with respect for the earth.

If you'd like to be a part of our little world in some way, please get in touch at hello@heyzoemay.com
