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!

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 :)
