Fiona Spence and Wanda Jelmini are co-founders of Australian brand Innate Textiles.

Spence built her company Spence & Lyda into one of the leading design retailers in Australia before selling the business in 2022.

Jelmini was instrumental in the global success of Missoni Home, the homewares branch of illustrious Milanese fashion house Missoni, before it was sold in 2018. As a niece to matriarch Rosita Missoni, Jelmini carries a legacy of exceptional textile design in her blood.

Associates – and good friends – since 2002, Innate Textiles is the result of their individual achievements, as well as the pair’s shared desire to forge a contemporary Australian design aesthetic.
