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 and makerspace 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.

Founder and Creative Director
MAIA WILLOW
Maia is a passionate nurse whose journey spans the UK and Australia. As a former Care Team Manager and Fashion Designer, she is dedicated to igniting meaningful change in aged care and promoting sustainable fashion solutions. After designing a clothing collection following her studies at the Byron School of Fashion, Maia decided to cease production, choosing to be part of the solution rather than the problem. Through her experience, she gained insight into sustainable practices, blending her creative flair with a commitment to honouring our elders and championing sustainability, transforming challenges into opportunities for a brighter future.

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!
