Theft is inevitable: Buy two - 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.
Ballet V Alpha60 limited-edition T-shirt
Coco Chanel, Alexander McQueen, Toni Maticevski, Christian Dior and Kit Willow. Maverick designers have long sung duets with ballet. And the latest designers to catch pointe shoe fever are Alpha60, who teamed up with The Australian Ballet to stitch something up.
The product of this union is a typical Alpha60 monochromatic image printed onto a loose-fitting, unisex tee.
Moscot Originals
Moscot Eyewear have been trading out of Manhattan's Lower East Side since early last century. Painted on the walls of their dilapidated showroom is a frankly incredible list of customers including Woody Allen, Truman Capote and Johnny Depp.
Very soon they'll be able to add the name of every roll-cuffed, Incu-wardrobed nut from Bondi to Avalon to that wall because Moscot are now selling their classic frames range here in Australia.
Birthday Suit
The Emperor got around in his birthday suit when two sneaky weavers promised him the finest suit of clothes from a fabric invisible to anyone who was an incompetent ninny. Ninny he was - not because he couldn't see the fabric, but because he trusted a pair of mimes. Mimes are creepy, everyone knows that.
Bug & Megs Felt
Bug & Megs are feltophiles. While the other kids were playing ponies, this crafty couple were tinkering with trinkets and fooling with finger puppets. But they soon grew tired of inferior acrylic "felt". They looked everywhere for an Australian supplier of real felt, but alas, none could be found.
WORTHIS Bags
The bag. What if this age-old transportation device was individually hand-crafted to order, using hand-dyed and hand-woven organic fabrics? Then it becomes something more than just a bag. It is a musing upon an ancient time, when people transported precious stones and scripts, and not just their iPhones.
Melissa Numa & Love Foxx shoes
Have you ever loved and lost? How about loved a baby rat and then killed it by rolling on it in your sleep? Well if you haven't, you probably don't know the bond formed when feeding his tiny mouth with an eyedropper, or the quiet tenderness of the moment when you rub his privates with a tissue to help him wee.
Zooper Dooper popsicles
Alfred Prufrock measured out his life in coffee spoons. I measure mine in Zooper Doopers. Motivated by this long hot summer (and childhood nostalgia), I've become addicted (although at 20c a pop, a freeze-your-own-popsicle habit is hardly debilitating). But which to choose? Funny Faces are defunct.
