This is such an inspiring store, with displays of local art and cleverly curated accessories and homewares. Take a break and pause for a coffee in their cafe space, too.

Happy New Year Everyone!
Our physical store has now closed permanently, however, you can still shop online. There's still a good selection of closing sale bargains, as well as our full range of canvas and stonewashed jute bags. Orders will be posted once a week during January.
In the meantime, holidays are being enjoyed and I'd highly recommend the fabulously colourful and quirky photography at the exhibition, if you're in Melbourne.
