August Empress

Recently I spent a few days in Sydney and took the opportunity to check out the Young Blood: Designers Markets at the Powerhouse Museum. There were 50 stalls spread out over the museum showcasing fashion, jewellery, homewares, furniture, artwork and many other design products from Australian designers. Here’s just a few of my favourite picks from the day.

1. Das Monk – Graphic t-shirts by an independent artist collective.

2. Zowie – Jewellery and accessories by designer Zoe Gleitzman.

3. bRainbow – Retro inspired handcrafted accessories.

4. Mooza Designs - Words, names and figures hand crafted with paper and acrylic.

5. 4 Leaf Clover – Textiles and homewares created by designer Fiona Budzynski.

There’s a new lovely little online shop on the scene and it’s name is Papercookie! Owner Leonie Cheung and her husband Simon offer a carefully selected range of independently designed paper goods and unique products for the home and office, including some of my favourite brands and designers: Rifle Paper, Shanna Murray, Knot & Bow, Elm Paper and O-Check.

I know all of you are the same as me and can’t get enough of gorgeous stationery and products so take a peek! They are based in Australia but the good news is they ship worldwide.
