About the Makers

Karl Cook

Karl started his career as a computer technician, and when he joined the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) in 1994 took up making swords and knives as a hobby, then got into lost wax casting and associated crafts.

To date, he has worked on several films and television series, as both a craftsman and weapons assistant, and most recently as 2nd Assistant Director on Kings Caravan (2004). He left the computer industry in 2001, and has once again turned his hobby into his business.

Elizabeth Elwell, B.Des (UNSW)

Known to everyone as "Bess", Elizabeth graduated with her Bachelor of Design from the College of Fine Arts, UNSW in 2005. Having spent five years training to be a graphics and new media designer, her interest in history and historical costume (lifelong, but nurtured in the SCA since 2000) drew her towards costume design for film and television in 2004.

Having worked for six months with the Australian Film, Television & Radio School, Bess gained experience as a Costume Supervisor and Standby Wardrobe Mistress, most recently on Kings Caravan (where she put her head together with longtime friend Karl to form Cote & Cutler). She has also, thus, turned her hobby into her business.

No Sweat campaign poster.

All of C&C's designs are made in Australia without the use of sweatshop labour. While this often results in a higher price tag, we prefer to offer quality assurance on our products without harming others to get it to you.

If you'd like to know more about the importance of eradicating the sweat-shop trade, please click on the picture above.
