  4. Melbourne turns 1

    Can you believe one year has passed since we painted this door blue?
    Well it has! And we can't quite believe it! So we must drink champagne. That's all that can be done.
    Let's reminisce about the first time you came in, maybe on a visit from Sydney, perhaps just from around the corner in Fitzroy.
    Did you come in expecting to see a Melbourne version of our beautiful Sydney shop dog, Honey?
    Did you walk out with shiny new shoes? A classic stripey Armor Lux top?
    Hopefully with a smile.
    Thank you for all the love.
    Pop in to Gertrude Street on Saturday for some Birthday Cheer!
