Sydney based bespoke accessories label Ginny & Jude will be exhibiting their Spring/Summer 09/10 collection, ‘Buttermilk Sky’, in Melbourne for a week in October 2009, revealing their unique range of head pieces to Melbournians ahead of October’s Melbourne Cup Carnival Season.

To present the collection Ginny & Jude designer and owner Rabia Lockwood will be on hand at North Fitzroy’s Asta Pubblica to fit Melbourne’s style conscious locals for
tailored couture headpieces previously only available to Sydney residents.

To launch this week-long residency, a cocktail party will be held at Asta Pubblica at 355 St Georges Road between 6-9pm on Friday October 2nd.
RSVP to ginnyandjudesevents@gmail.com

From Thursday October 1st to Thursday October 8th Rabia will be available for private consultations in-store. Booking for these consultations is imperative and to
avoid disappointment, booking ahead is recommended.
Contact ginnyandjudes@gmail.com to make your appointment.

A selection of pieces from the collection will be available to purchase exclusively from Asta Pubblica throughout October and November.

The signature range of headwear from Ginny & Jude Designs is created from unused hat trim produced in
Europe and Japan between 1900 and 1940. These museum quality antiques are painstakingly restored by hand before being re-imagined as the basis for each
creation. The limited supply of these trims and personal touch each piece receives ensures no two are ever identical. They are wearable art at its finest.

The signs are up, and the doors are open.  Inside we now have a range of unique prototypes and designs from all over Australia.  Furniture, books, lamps, jewelry, cards and artworks.

Pondering how much unsustainable crap is being produced and then shipped around and around the globe, I decided that this little shop was going to be a place for hand made, local designs and art, made from either re-used, recycled, natural or locally produced materials.  Sustainable things for sale, Public Sale.
