Benah

The gorgeous Brenda from Benah demonstrates here on her blog http://thebenah.blogspot.com.au/ a couple of ways to tie scarves from her brand new collection Sunshadows. Hailing from New Zealand but living here right out of Sydney, Brenda makes beautiful silk scarves and leather bags and goods. This month she also launches her new jewellery line Benah Be Mine, a collection of delicate jewellery pieces she has hand made herself.

I cannot emphasise how gorgeous this girl is, and how amazing it is to see her business grow stronger and stronger every year!

Brenda's new summer collection arrives here in store soon. It's by far her best collection yet, with a new range of divine leather bags, plus beach inspired silk scarves, tote bags and accessories, perfect for a sunny summers afternoon x

Sara Phillips 'Unnearthed'

Sara Phillips's spring collection is a continuation of her love affair with nature. Whilst winter was about what the Earth looked like from above, her summer collection is all about digging deep into the earth and unnearthing crystals. 

Featuring an exclusive print of hand drawn shards and brightly coloured crystals, Sara's new collection 'Unnearthed' is a mix of the prettiest crystal print, combined with a perfect summery palette of citrusy bright silks.

TOPO DESIGNS

We are glad to finally offer a different brand of outdoor bags to alfie's store. 

Topo designs began in discussion - a desire to have quality and useful products that you could not find in store. Prototype after prototype, tests and re-testing through several vacations (an extended excuse for testing), they had their first bag, and after this came the success of Topo's first collection - Simple, functional, durable products.

Topo bags are all made in a LEED certified building in Colorado, USA.

Antipodium

  

The first collection to bring us into our Spring season is Antipodium's amazing debut pre-fall collection, 'Found Love in a Graveyard'. This collection combines the simplicity and discipline of the skinhead aesthetic with the romance of Ophelia to create an androdynous capsule of sartorial delights perfect for weddings, wakes or anything. Collaborating again with Karl Maier of esteemed art duo Craig and Karl to create the very cheeky Bunny Boiler print - an intoxicating series of vignettes de lapin printed onto sheer shirting and skirts and toughened up by the standout wine and metallic bomber, Antipodium perfectly executes the kind of masculine feminine styling we have come to know and love, resulting in a collection that is unconventional, subversive and lots of fun.
