With so much to take in, here’s my brand watch for Life Instyle Melbourne.

Taylored Dots

Donna Taylor is a self taught, Creative Illustrator behind Taylored Dots. Donna has a unique talent for a drawing technique known as ‘stippling’ and you only have to look at her artwork to appreciate the time and effort in each piece.  One brand to watch that’s for sure.

Elm Paper

A stationery label with a modern fresh edge and a favourite of mine for it’s classic appeal and foil accents. Elm Paper is stylish and tactile, with a distinctly flair, they do beautiful paper to write and create everlasting memories.

Essence Noosa

Wholly Australian made deliciousness these luxurious soaps, sensuous creams and aromatic hand poured soy candles use all natural plant-based ingredients. Designer packaging all hand wrapped with huge love from Noosa.  Well worth a look at, I love the packaging.

Lavallier Emporium

Lavallier is inspired by vintage ceramic.  They love ornate and love using sourced vintage home wares and recreating them into porcelain function wears.  A must see as the wares are handmade in a small studio in Melbourne, Australia.  I adore the colours too.
