• They wanted to leave the 9-5 rat race

  Herringbone

  12 May 2005

  I was amongst the first people to try Herringbone shirts when they will were still a start-up company trying to get financing. Herringbone is run by two ex financial analysts who wanted to leave the 9-5 rat race and run their own business in an industry they are passionate about. From then it has grown enormously into a much respected and stylish shirt brand in Australia.

• A mystical and exotic cocktail

  Beirut

  Beirut is a mystical and exotic cocktail of history, passion and emotion. It is a city of stark contrasts and that's what makes it all the more interesting and amazing.

• How authentic, how cool!

  Freitag

  29 August 2006

  When you first open a Freitag bag you get a wift of smell of oil and grit - how authentic, how cool! I love the idea that it's made from recycled materials so it's good for the environment. I bought a 'man bag' for my husband who loves the idea of walking around with recycled airbags and tyre tubes and truck tarpaulins. But mostly I love the designs. They are so funky. And have a special 'industrial' look. And because they are made from reused components it means each bag is truly unique. All in all a great concept in every way.

• Open, authentic and refreshing

  Camper

  07 September 2006

  When you're in an elevator do you press the button manically in the hope the doors will close quicker? Walk don't run. When you're passing by a garden do you put your head down, immersed in your thoughts? Walk don't run. Do you have time to stop and talk to people or do you rush around from one chore to the next? Walk don't run. Do you take the time to savour the goodness in your food? Walk don't run. That is the Campers spirit - open, authentic and refreshing.

  A cocktail of motion, music, energy, style and beauty that enlightens the spirit, feeds the soul, inspires imagination and is a catalyst for new frontiers of thinking.

  Frey Wille is beautiful and authentic. A symbol of style inspired by the world around us - history, nature, art. My Frey Wille ring is my treasure, carrying with it a personal and emotional message that I will wear with me always.
