Celebrating Women, Today and Every Day
At Mud Australia, women are at the heart of everything we do.
Since 1994, Mud Australia has created elegant and timeless porcelain homewares. AU
The original Mud Australia store opened in Woollahra in 2007. Since then we’ve opened 12 stores globally.
As a women-led business with 78% of our team identifying as female, we see firsthand the power of their strength, intelligence, creativity, and resilience in shaping our success.
This International Women’s Day, we celebrate the incredible women in our team, our community, and beyond—those who inspire, lead, and create positive change every day.
We remain committed to fostering an inclusive, diverse, and equitable workplace where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Here’s to the women who make a difference—today and always.
Mud Australia’s founder Shelley Simpson, her daughter Violette Kirton, and General Manager Tess Lloyd, marked the day celebrating food, community and each other.
"Being a woman in business has always been about leading with purpose, creativity, and resilience. The real joy comes from working alongside so many talented women who inspire me every day."
— Shelley Simpson, Founder
"You can’t be what you can’t see. Working for a female-led business is inspiring and shifts the conception and ambition within the team. Cooking together might seem antiquated for International Women’s Day, but as a team, it’s a way we often collaborate and connect as a community. Sharing a meal provides the opportunity to pause, connect, and offers both physical and emotional nourishment."
— Tess Lloyd, General Manager
"The women around me, at work and in life, have taught me that womanhood is about embracing who you are with clarity and conviction, standing by your values, and uplifting those around you. But just as importantly, it’s about recognising the need for balance—caring for yourself as much as you do for others. The women in my life are everything—a voice of strength, resilience, and a little reason from time to time."
— Violette Kirton, Brand and Experience Manager
