With Christmas just around the corner, it’s really nice to see so many Artisans, makers and small business owners in Sydney.
We love to support local businesses, especially at this time of year. That’s why we thought we’d put together a list of small Sydney businesses that you can buy from. Whether you’re looking for a new handbag, shaving kit or something a little different.
Stuga
This handmade boutique is filled with delights. Do you know someone who wants to shave just like their Grandpa did? Or are they looking for a new leather handbag? Nick is a Sydney Artisan who hand-carves wooden shaving brushes, makes luxury shaving and body soaps plus, creates stunning leather handbags, wallets, purses and lifestyle accessories from premium Australian leather.
Find him down at The Rocks Markets every weekend or head to stuga.com.au to find out more.
Hunt and Muse
This small store in Bondi collects and curates a mix of pre-loved samples or Artisan-made one-off pieces. It’s a quirky corner stall filled with clothing that’s been picked from styling shoots or discovered in some obscure place. Think Bohemian with a dash of vintage, so if you know someone that sounds like, this could be the perfect place to find that special gift.
