Our story

Made for the heat, the beach and the long lunch

We love to dress colourful and comfy, airy and cool. We go to the beach to unwind, and when the sun goes down we wrap ourselves in fabrics that easily turn into evening wear.

Colourful Cottons is an Australian online boutique that does one thing: cotton clothing that's easy to wear in the heat. We hand-pick relaxed dresses, tops and kaftans in bright prints from labels we love, including Mozaic, Chilli and Sorrento.

Everything we sell is 100% cotton, because nothing else keeps you as cool on a sticky afternoon. And we choose styles cut with plenty of room, so the same prints work for a size 10 and a size 24.

Every size, same prints

Plus size leads the range without fencing anyone out. The good prints come in XL and up too.

Only cotton

Cooler than synthetics, softer on skin, and it lasts. That part never changes.

Why cotton →

Colour that lifts you

Bold, happy prints made to be noticed, in relaxed shapes made to be lived in.
