Collette Dinnigan snaps up $2.85million cabin in the Southern Highlands

Collette Dinnigan has purchased property in the NSW Southern Highlands.

The fashion designer, 57, has splashed out $2.85million on a three-bedroom cottage, according to The Sunday Telegraph.

The property sits on a 1.8 hectare block and offers incredible views of the Kangaroo Valley escarpment.

The house is situated on a sheltered country lane and its spacious kitchen is fitted with an AGA cooker.

The property also has a newly renovated studio and workshop.

The purchase comes after the famous fashion designer opened a homewares store in Mittagong to showcase her developing range of handcrafted homewares.

Collette and her husband Bradley Cocks manage a number of luxury rental properties on the North and South Coast, as well as in Bowral in the Southern Uplands.

The famous designer shocked the fashion world in 2013 when she pulled her stores in Sydney, Melbourne and London.

The South African-born designer later revealed that she made the decision to leave when her job started to take a toll on her personal life.

The star wanted to spend more time with her husband Bradley and her two children, Hunter, six, and Estella, 15.

She previously spoke to Daily Mail Australia about the major life change and how it has improved her life at home.

“You can’t do nine to five in fashion,” she revealed. ‘It’s all encompassing. But I can control it now. I can spend school holidays with my family rather than being in Paris for shows.

In 2020, Collette sold two of his Paddington holdings for a combined $4 million just days after each property was listed.
