All things must pass...

All things must pass...and this brilliant, bright Summer has quietly slipped into Autumn.

And so to clear the decks for the next season of G&J sartorial wonders, we must have an end of season sale...!!

What is left of the stunning La Luna collection is now on sale with juicy mark-downs storewide.

La Luna was our first collection using exclusively natural fabrics - silks, linens and cottons - and we know it is our highest quality collection to date. As always our clothing is designed to take you through the seasons and years; the designs will still seem as classic and timless as when you first laid eyes on them!

And who said 'summer' was only for Summer! The collared shirts work wonderfully under a jumper, with the contrast collars adding that little pop of colour to your winter outfit...the the La Luna wiggle skirts are perfect Fall work-wear paired with stockings...

Click through and treat yourself to something beautiful...

Winter Inspiration

In Sydney we are having a rather hilariously mild and humid winter so far this year; the city has been swathed in mysterious mist many times as the cold air struggles against the warm. Getting in the mood for a winter wardrobe of woolens, knits and layers has been hard. Especially because we're currently sampling for our summer collection. Winter? What winter!

But it will indeed get cold - this we know for sure! And with today's grey skies and freezing winds, here's some inspiration from our pinterest boards paired with pieces from our winter collection Prairie Moon...

Sunny Side headwrap - $30 // Prairie Necklace - $65 // Midnight Cowgirl blouse - $130 // Paris, Texas skirt - $165

Finders Keepers Winter Markets!

6 months seems to whip around awful fast doesn't it - feels like only a few weeks ago we were peddling our wares at the Summer Finders Keepers...

But as much as times seems a lost concept at G&J HQ, it is indeed time again for the Finders Keepers Markets, Winter edition.

And there are a few changes afoot...
A change of venue is probably the biggest one for everyone to be aware of. After five years, the Sydney Finders Keepers markets have outgrown the halls of Carriageworks and the markets have moved across the tracks; to Australian Technology Park! As such, the markets have trebled in size (yes, that's THREE times as much amazing-ness)...AND there are food trucks and a 'market lane' of food stalls to boot. Hurrah!

There are so, so, SO many designers to be aware of at these markets, and after a careful fossiking through the designer profiles, we are keen to check out these little beauties...

1. Bonny Lad

...for beautiful organic jewellery.

2. Chocolate Brownie

...for stunning, handmade leather-goods.

3. Marcue

...the go-to stall for shoes, glorious shoes!

4. Pretty Parcel

...for the lasses with a good set of pins; these shifts are pretty darn cute!

5. Vintage Prints

...for original vintage and antique book plates.

(they are also our neighbours...we anticipate many purchases)

6. Sian Thomas

...ceramic heaven!

7. 4 Leaf Clover

...there is no limit to the amount of pretty tea-towels one can own.

8. ALAS

...sleepwear that's pretty and functional.

9. Otto & Spike

...yes, they do a brilliant range of knits etc. but these McFadyen picnic blankets made us audibly coo. And reminded us of one of our favourite regency drama actors...

10. McKean Studios

...for the most beautiful silk scarves

AND lastly, 

11. Ginny & Jude Designs

...for beautifully tailored clothes and elegant accessories with a pinch of vintage flair.

See you there!

Friday: 6pm -10pm

Saturday: 10am - 5pm

Presenting...Prairie Moon, our Winter 2013 collection

 

 

w i n t e r  2 0 1 3

"Shot gold, maroon and violet, dazzling silver, emerald, fawn,
The earth's whole amplitude and Nature's multiform power consigned
for once to colors;
The light, the general air possessed by them - colors till now unknown,
No limit, confine - not the Western sky alone - the high meridian -
North, South, all,
Pure luminous color fighting the silent shadows to the last."
- Walt Whitman, Prairie Sunset
