I wanted something feminine without being overly delicate, and this mostly achieves that. It has a nice presence, though it could feel a bit more refined.

Please do not buy from this company! It is a scam. My mother purchased a cashmere cardigan and it was polyester. Came from China. Then when they were queried around goods not described, we went round in circles trying to resolve, the only option was to pay $30 to return to China. Just buy from Temu and save your money.

I appreciate that it suits different age groups. it looks stylish enough, but not particularly memorable.

The midi dress with puff sleeves looked nice with heels. It worked well for dinner events, though the overall look felt fairly standard.

I recently purchased a floral maxi dress and wore it with sandals, which made it fine for a relaxed day out. Its flowy design and comfort were nice, though not particularly outstanding.

I ordered 2 dressed from Sage. They took 4 weeks to arrive despite the website having a local address. The items DO NOT ship from Sydney. I therefore didn't need the dresses when they arrived as my event had passed.
Trying to return them as been a sham. I had to pay for return shipping to China (even though they have a local address listed on their website) and the item has been "stuck" in customs in China for 6 weeks. I suspect Sage just chooses not to collect these items so that you never get your refund.
Fraudulent and dishonest.

It maintains a perfect balance of simplicity and elegance. Nothing about it feels overdone, yet it still leaves a strong impression.

Reply from Sage Sydney
I received a few compliments the first time I wore it. It looks nice and stylish, though it doesn’t stand out as much as I hoped.

Reply from Sage Sydney
I bought this expecting a versatile item, and it works for both casual and formal occasions with the right styling. It meets expectations but doesn’t feel exceptional.

Reply from Sage Sydney
The design shows good attention to detail. It feels fairly well-made and gives a nice overall look, though not particularly outstanding.

When I saw the pretty Stylish Summer Midi Dress on the website, I was sure I had just seen the exact same dress on Amazon, and sure enough, it's the Akivide Women's Summer Boho dress for almost half the price. I understand each piece is carefully selected with love, attention, and a keen eye to detail, but just be aware that not all of the labels are independent labels (to be fair, the website never claimed they were all independent). Just an observation.

It pairs effortlessly with different footwear options, which makes styling very easy. I have worn it with both casual and dressy shoes

This 'shop' advertises like it is in Australia BEWARE ... there is no shop just an address....
It is NOT AUSTRALIAN as advertised.
Actually I am in contact with your support team and now have to pay $20-40 to return this product to CHINA...
I will be applying for a refund on this as I have spoken to authorities and this is YOUR responsibility to pay.
Thanks for your reply exactly as expected.

LONG BUT WORTHKNOWING: SAGE SYDNEY is not an Australian company, despite the name. Their website leads you to believe returns are simple and local — but that is absolutely not the case.
I purchased one dress for $110. When a parcel arrived, I didn't even think it was the dress from Sage Sydney as it was unmarked and no label on the dress. It came from China.
As I was expecting the parcel from Sage in SYDNEY around the same time. I checked my emails thenI realised this unlabelled item was meant to be the dress I ordered from “Sage Sydney.”
I ordered a 2XL, but the item that arrived wouldn’t even fit my daughter, who is a size 12 — it was closer to a size 8. The colour was also completely wrong: the website showed a bright green dress, but the item sent was a dark teal, nothing like the advertised product.
I checked their website for return instructions and saw an Australian address in Guildford, so I returned it there. After recieving an email from them was I told that returns can ONLY be sent back to China, at a cost of $30+ and that the Guildford address is just a depot where returns are collected but never processed. They offered me a 10% refund or the option to return it to China — but I had already sent it to the address listed on their own site.
I am now out $110 for the dress and $11 for return postage, all due to a misleading and dishonest business SAGE SYDNEY.
This company is deceptive, misleading, and taking advantage of Australian consumers. Fair Trading should shut them down.

It drapes beautifully on the body and does not cling in awkward places. The silhouette it creates is smooth and flattering.

Terrible return policy
I ordered sandals that arrived and were too narrow. I went round and round with this company to attempt a return. I was told I'd have to pay return shipping, which is fine, but then was told it was back to China which would be expensive. They offered me the price of the sandals off another item. I really didn't want another item, but it seemed like the best option. They sent me a "gift card" for $40, which I entered in the promo box. It said it was processing and came up with the full price charged to my card. I immediately contacted the company to cancel the order. They waited over half an hour to respond and then I was told the order was already processed. But they then offered me another "gift card". No thanks, I don't need 3 pieces of their merchandise that I didn't want. Use caution with this company unless you're absolutely sure you won't be returning an item!

It felt like I was buying a one-of-a-kind piece of fashion directly from an artist—something unique, crafted with care and attention to detail. Instead, what I received was the equivalent of a low-quality print from a broken printer: disappointing, poorly executed, and nowhere near what was promised.
The entire experience was frustrating from start to finish. Expectations were set high, but the reality didn’t come close. Quality, service, and overall delivery all fell well below acceptable standards.
This is not a company I would trust again, and I strongly recommend others stay well clear.

Do not order from this company. They are a deceitful company that actually operates out of China.
All their policies are guidelines on their website they ignore and make up their own rules to suit them.
Note that if you want to return an item, you will have to cover the cost and send it back to China.
Their clothes are cheap and not worth the price.
Save the hassle and your money.
Part 2
Reached out to Sage on multiple occasions to try to resolve. They are not interested in customer service and abiding by their own policies. Stay clear of this company - very dodgy

this company presents itself as a fashion store in Sydney. it isn't. I received the 3 items i ordered sent directly from a factory in China. none of the items even had a label on them. they were all made from completely synthetic fabrics which feel awful to wear. the colors shown on the website are not representative of the products i received. consequently it was overpriced with slow delivery. so slow i thought i had been scammed. I would never buy from this company again. they looked great online but in reality they are horrible products.

Reply from Sage Sydney
This has quickly become one of my go to choices when I want to look stylish with minimal effort . It saves time while still delivering a great overall appearance

Reply from Sage Sydney
I appreciate how breathable the fabric is especially in warmer weather. It feels light but still structured enough to look refined
