Who we are

Founders Story

In 2006, Samantha Burns launched Ollie and Max, designing modern classics based on the premise, as her grandmother would say, of 'Buy once, Buy well.'

In 2008, from her first small shop in Woollahra, NSW she launched the Arabella Pintuck Shirt which became a wardrobe favourite for women size 8-24, of all ages.

Through the years, Ollie and Max has become a trusted place for women to find clothes their body loves, and that suit their busy and varied lifestyles.

In 2025, Arabella is still a crowd favourite, and Ollie and Max is having a wonderful time with customers worldwide, who have become like family.

Who We are

Championing women of all sizes and ages ALWAYS

It has always been at the heart of Ollie and Max to have customers as friends, community as family, and represent women as they truly embrace their size and age in the clothes we make for them to love.

Focused on natural fibres, linen and cotton, our clothes have been designed always with life in mind- the busyness, the craziness of packed days, the changing body shapes we have- we need to get dressed, feel great and not have to think twice about what we are wearing.

Also very important to us is that we hold conversations with our customers, to know what you need from your clothes, then we design solutions for you that last the test of time.

Who we are

The Beginning

In 2006, Samantha Burns traded law school to start her own fashion business, Ollie and Max.

Soon realising law school was the easier option, she worked 24/7 learning the ropes of manufacturing alongside her wonderful team of seamstresses in Sydney, and opening a small storefront in Woollahra, NSW.

It took time, as all good things do. Grit and resilience. Quite a few glasses of prosecco.

What started as a childrenswear label, soon became a wardrobe favourite with the launch of womenswear in 2008 and the popular Arabella Pintuck Shirt in size 8-24. Modern classics, for women of all ages.
