At home with Mikala James — This Mother’s Day, founder of Mikala invites us into her home in the Victorian Alps, where motherhood, an off-grid way of living and time spent in nature shape a considered approach to life, craft and family.

Just around the corner from Mud Australia in Armadale, Mikala’s Loom Atelier, formerly Loom Towels, in King’s Arcade carries the same quiet sensibility., grounded in natural materials, thoughtful craftsmanship and pieces collected and lived with over time.
