New Collection Launched - Sydney

Polli's new collection was launched at the Life in Style trade show over the weekend. We got a great response to our new designs, colours and hand woven pieces (stitched by the Polli mum's). The new pieces will be available online or at a Polli stockist near you soon!

The new 'Tandem' necklace design - a bicycle built for two - was very popular, complete with a bottle of vino and a baguette in the front basket and Duffy the dog along for the ride in the back!

Polli is also the proud Australia distributor of Tivi, exhibiting their range of clutches, rings, cuffs and belts for the first time. The Hips clutch generated a lot of interest.

The trade show also saw great new colletions from our favourites Mushu and High Tea with Mrs Woo, as well as many others.

Julia Rothman - Brooklyn

We have been fans of Julia Rothman's ever since we first saw her work being featured on Design*Sponge. When we were in NY we were very lucky to meet Julia where she hand delivered a print which had been lost in the post for 5 months. It’s a well travelled print USA to Australia twice. I really appreciate the personal service Julia gave me. Thanks Julia!

Vegas Baby!

We will be showing our new collection at the Pool Trade Show, Las Vegas, this week. This is a trade only event running from 17 til 19 February at the LVCC. If you can make it stop by booth 1704 and say hi to Kate... she has a bounty of Australian candy!

Milk&Honey Cafe, Chicago

Not to harp on about food but we feasted on a delicious breakfast at Milk&Honey – I’m talking orange brioche French toast... need I say more.

Milk&Honey - 1920 W Division St, Chicago

Willow, Chicago

We were swept away with Willow, Chicago. It's got an enchanting mix of ceramics, decorations, stationery, puppetry and irresistible wooden gorillas!

Willow - 908 N Damen Ave, Chicago

Avec Tapas, Chicago

The Wallpaper city guide boasts Avec as one of their favourite restaurants in the world so we had to try it! Fourteen dishes later we concur! The chorizo-stuffed madjool dates are a must.

Avec - 615 W Randolph, Chicago

The Silver Room, Chicago

The Silver Room, also in Chicago, boasts some great work by our favourites Tivi and Haji. Eric the owner (above right) is the local celebrity and hosts parties in the back of the store. We were lucky enough to have Paul from Tivi (above left) as our local tour guide! Thanks Paul :)

The Silver Room - 1442 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago

MCA, Chicago

While on the road we visited Chicago for the first time. The locals called it a 'warm' -5 degree day! We popped into the Museum of Contemporary Art, they were in between exhibitions but we got to check out the amazing stairs and impressive two level store! It's a really international store featuring products from around the globe and great Kid Robot collection.

MCA - 220 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago

Loom, Brooklyn

While out and about we also popped in to visit Susan at Loom in Park Slope - she's got a beautiful mix of fashion, stationery and toys for the little ones...

Loom - 115 7th Ave, Brooklyn

Exit 9, Brooklyn

Exit 9 is a great store in Brooklyn with an extensive range of gifts for all ages. We love the vintage fridge display, tree house books and cute cuddly friends. The new Polli range will be in store soon.

Exit 9 - 127 Smith Street, Brooklyn + 64 Avenue A, Manhattan

Diner, Brooklyn

While in Williamsburg Brooklyn we visited the unassuming Diner. Hard to find it was worth braving the cold for the old school carriage style interior and delicious burgers!

Diner - 85 Broadway Brooklyn NY

New York International Gift Show

Polli's new range was launched at the New York International Gift Show last week. It was great to catch up with some of our US customers and work alongside our new team member, Kate Williams, who is now based in New York. We also got a chance to meet our biggest fan (and potential stalker) - Roger. ;)
