Designer brand LIFEwithBIRD is no more.
The brand has issued an email to customers, advising it will soon cease to operate.
"It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of LIFEwithBIRD in the coming weeks.
"We would like to thank everyone who has shared this incredible journey over the past 16 years. It has always felt more like a family than a business, and we will be forever grateful to everyone who believed in our ideas and championed the modern woman.
"LIFEwithBIRD has been such a huge part of our lives. We started by patternmaking on kitchen benches, packing orders and hand tying swing tags at home. To have created something that grew and evolved into the brand many know today and knowing our designs have touched so many people in Australia and abroad is something we will always be very proud of.
"There have been countless milestones along the way, but nothing compares to our family and the birth of our beautiful daughter. With another on the way, there comes a time when you must put your loved ones first. In an industry that has changed so much, we feel we have given all we can and it is time to stand down and be open to new opportunities.
"What we have learned and the connections we have made are priceless and will certainly inform the next chapter. Thank you to everyone for their loyalty, commitment and the love you have shown to LIFEwithBIRD over the years.
"LIFEwithBIRD will be put into the archives. One day we may dust it off and shine new life into this beautiful memory."
