WHO ARE WE?

At Our Timeless Threads, we believe everyone deserves to age with dignity, creativity, and connection. Founded by Maia Willow, a registered nurse passionate about elder care, we’re a community-led non-profit reimagining aged care through pre-loved fashion, creative workshops, meaningful experiences, and intergenerational connection.
 

From our community op shop and textile studio to high tea care planning, creative workshops, and joyful aged care experiences, everything we do is designed to restore identity, spark connection, and bring people together.

THE MAKERSPACE

A co-creative textile studio designed for making, mending, learning, healing and connecting. 

From embroidery, painting and sewing to shared workshops and cups of tea, this is a welcoming “third place” where generations come together to create, share skills, and feel part of the community.

THE OP SHOP

Our community op shop gives pre-loved clothing a beautiful second life while helping fund creative workshops, aged care programs, and community connection throughout Byron Bay.

Thoughtfully curated, sustainably minded, and open to everyone.

HOW YOU CAN HELP 

Hi, I’m Maia Willow. After years as a registered Nurse in aged care, I’ve seen the profound impact of clothing on dignity. Many residents endure ill-fitting, uncomfortable outfits, while care teams and families are stretched too thin to help.

 

Through Our Timeless Threads, we provide sustainable, stylish clothing and host joyful pop-up shops in care homes. To grow, we urgently need funds for a delivery van and operational costs. Your donation will help restore dignity to our elders and fight fashion waste. Together, we can make a difference. Thank you for your support!

TWO CHALLENGES,
ONE SOLUTION.

We care for people and the planet. we save pre-loved garments from landfill by turning donated fibres into new treasures. This lets us provide comfortable, stylish products to aged care homes—supporting residents’ dignity and helping facilities meet Aged Care Commission standards—all through sustainable reuse.

"A great shopping experience and the photoshoot made it so special. It was a great opportunity to dress up and feel my best. Such a great energy from the moment they arrived. I am feeling over the moon that my family will have some recent photographs of me. I was glad to have the opportunity to shop after much time as it brings me so much joy."
