Gold Dust lounge opens

Finally the work has finished downstairs from the bob shop. This is what it looked like 7am Thursday morning....







To this on Thursday night (opening night)...we were invited to the opening of the Gold Dust lounge. Lovely people, top atmosphere, we had loads of fun. And the best thing is no more jack hammering! But all the noise has been worth it, it is a really beautiful space, filled with an old fashioned warmth and good vibes. Open Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights from 7pm, over 25's only. Live music most nights. What a great space.

WOW it's bob!

SO EXCITING! bob is featured in the great new design book "The Tote bag"
This book showcases some of the most striking, inventive and subversive examples of the ubiquitous tote. From eco chic to style icon, the featured totes come from a wide range of illustrators and designers from around the world, with designs including floral prints, typography, illustrations and characters. Each book is beautifully packaged in an original and eye-catching tote bag and the bob shop designs are featured. A wonderful book by Jitesh Patel, we are so excited to be asked to be part of it.

Introducing Moby Duck

Introducing Moby Duck the hand resined range of homewares and jewellery by the very talented Amy Marshall who is an American living in Melbourne.
All of the pieces are inspired by vintage or antique objects/ jewellery or clay originals that have been molded in rubber, then cast in resin. Once she has made a rubber mold,Amy is able to use that mold several times to cast different colours of each piece in jewellery quality resin. The pieces are finished with hand-sanding along rough edges, a soapy bath, and then an epoxy resin to securely attach findings. She loves sourcing and using vintage pieces because the texture of early plastics and glass replicate very well in the silicon molds to create "new-vintage" pieces.

Check out her beautiful things in store now and on the website very soon.

Bird brooches in sweet vintage colours
