(E X C E R P T from today's latest announcements -
"from tomorrow Victorians need a face mask that fits properly over your nose and mouth. That means face shields, scarves, and bandanas can no longer be used on their own."

A little further info about Minnie&Lou masks:
Our handmade washable fabric facemasks are sustainably made in Melbourne Australia entirely from upcycled materials. ♻️
They come in large, medium & small size (which fits young teenagers or adults with small faces (like mine!). After some experimenting with fit and sizing, all our sizes are the type with the pleats which ensure nice a snug fit. We have had lots of feedback that our masks are very comfortable - read on for more information on why!
The masks are constructed of 3 layers. All our materials are upcycled. We have bought lots of clothes from Op shops over the years to use for making wheat packs and other things, and this is part of that stash. The ear loops are made from strips of stocking which is a very comfortable alternative to elastic. All materials are, of course, freshly washed first! And because the fabrics are preloved, they are nice and soft. We ensure the layer that is against your face is 100% cotton. There is a limited stock in each fabric due to the nature of upcycling. ♻️
