With a back­ground in design and adver­tis­ing, and from a world of organ­ic liv­ing, the father daugh­ter duo from Nor­folk cre­ate thought­ful beau­ty good­ies using nat­ur­al ingre­di­ents for their brand Austin Austin.

Draw­ings seem­ing­ly inspired by Hen­ri Matisse adorn the pack­ag­ing of their sta­ple prod­ucts, art­work by var­i­ous promi­nent artists are the focus of their chang­ing col­lec­tions, and images of funky paint­ings and inte­ri­or inspi­ra­tions trick­le through their Insta­gram feed.

For their most recent col­lec­tion of hand creams and balms, artist Adri­anne Rubenstein’s colour­ful work becomes the focus. She takes inspi­ra­tion from female artists of pre­vi­ous gen­er­a­tions such as Susan Roth­man and Faith Ring­gold, depict­ing ele­ments of the nat­ur­al world and every­day objects.
