OUR STORY
Jimmy Stuart began in 1984 with a vision, a ping-pong table, a desire to create something different, something unique and something Australian Made.
What began as one man, Jim, creating and sewing his own designs and selling them at markets around Sydney, has evolved into an iconic Australian-owned business with a rapidly growing e-commerce store and now proudly operating retail stores in Sydney’s Avalon Beach and our new flagship store in one of Sydney’s prestige shopping strips, Mosman.
Passion and positivity are at the core of everything we do, we strive to deliver exceptional, personalised service at every touchpoint. From choosing fabrics, creating our designs, think-tanking our new ranges and working closely with our suppliers and contractors, Jimmy Stuart is now very much a team effort, with Jim at the helm encouraging, nurturing and supporting all involved.
Still colourful and confident, in recent years the brand has expanded on its core shirt range to include Australian made quality pants, shorts, swim shorts, knitwear, waistcoats, boxer shorts, bucket hats, bags and surfboards.
Jimmy Stuart strikes the perfect chord between a relaxed yet bold style, individuality and quality. Over the years whilst forging our own path our values have remained true, Jim is, and always has been, steadfastly proud of Australia and being Australian.
Bidinis Bags is the brainchild of fashion designer Caterina Bidini, who was born and raised in Florence, Italy, where all her leather and raffia women’s handbags are crafted by local artisans.
Caterina adheres to the ‘slow fashion movement’ where products are made in high quality, so they last longer. Bidinis Bags products are produced in small batches, which is more sustainable for the environment and makes each item unique.
VENLA is a rent-a-rack second-hand fashion store with a Nordic twist. We are a place where you can give a new life to your clothes and find new loves. Our rent-a-rack solution makes it possible for you to monetise your preloved, good quality fashion items and accessories and sell them in our store in an easy and convenient way. We are passionate about doing our bit to help in reducing the fashion waste.
This is how it works: Visit the VENLA website to register and book your own rack for your 2-week rental. Decide which 40 or more good quality fashion items and 5 shoes/bags you want to sell.
