Theft is a risk - Goods - Cool Items and Interesting Stuff
GOODS has two meanings. Firstly, it is our guide to innovative objects from Sydney and around the world, and secondly, GOODS can't be bad. A resource for gift buyers, home-makers, scene-stealers, trend-watchers and possibly even shoplifters, GOODS isn't about making your credit card cry, it's about setting your standards high.
R.M. Williams Boots
Reginald Murray Williams would be chuffed to see his bespoke riding boots taking to the streets. Fenella Peacock (Ant!pod!um) originally introduced us to that special combination of ruggedness and femininity that can be achieved with frilly skirts and "blunnies". It seems that people listened, as stockman boots are stomping through trendy laneways right now.
ffiXXed SS10, Unseen Utopias
ffiXXed is a collaborative art and design project that recognises the need for sustainable creative practices, delving beyond pure aesthetic to create readymade fashion products that are a pragmatic response to living arrangements. Helmed by ex-pat Australians and Internetwork contributors Kain Picken and Fiona Lau, ffiXXed is created between studios in Berlin, New York, and Hong Kong, essentially maintaining a roaming headquarters responsive to global influences.
Mathematical Quilts
The maths pleb may think maths is all about abacuses and number crunching and imaginary pie. The fact is, it's all this and so much more.
Meet Elaine Krajenke Ellison. She's a retired high school teacher who also enjoys quilting. Perhaps you don't think maths has much to do with quilts, but you don't have a BA in Mathematics from Michigan State, do you? Thought so.
Make A Plate
As it's likely you experimented with melamine Make A Plates like me at age five. Take your mind back, way back. It went a little something like this: Take your circular paper sheet; consider the potential opus; doodle with the provided pens until you're pleased as spiked punch; enshrine your illustrated vision by baking it; realise you've forgotten your mum in your family portrait; eat off it for 10 years.
Love Candy Pick up Cards
"If you were my homework I'd be doing you right now all over my desk" is just one of the gems that Love Candy Pick up Cards have to offer. The aim of these little cards is to provide a non-confrontational (thus minimising your chance of failure) approach to introducing yourself to that sexy stranger.
Flat Pets
I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, 'that's not a pet, that's a piece of cardboard'. And yes, it is true, but before you scoff too hard, let me tell you a little something about pets.
I had a real cat once. He was pretty good. Went by the name of Charles, had a lustrous black coat and a scratch that meant business.
Vintage Lover Online
‘Howling Hearts' is the latest addition to the ever growing Vintage Lover Empire. Sure, online vintage stores are a dime a dozen, but then there are those that do it justice...
Rather than throwing pieces of clothing up on eBay all higgledy-piggledy, crushed and strewn on a coat hanger, the talented Jaharn Giles, brains and beauty behind Vintage Lover Online shows them how it is done.
