We were never going to miss the store opening day, as the brains behind this new venture are our friends Kristen and Tristan Combridge.
These guys are having a big year, with their new home under construction, a baby on the way, and now their dream of owing in a lifestyle boutique becoming a reality - power couple!
Kristen has a background in marketing, fashion styling and visual merchandising. She also runs a business servicing several Westfield shopping centres across NSW, in both personal styling and visual merchandising. Kristen also teaches regularly at The Fashion Institute in Sydney's Surry Hills; while Tristan works in mining, shapes surf boards in his spare time and has recently added design and furniture making to his repertoire of talents.
Dwell and Drobe is nothing short of amazing, with a fantastic range of products made by Australian designers and creatives. Kristen has ensured the shelves are stocked with not only products that are 'on trend' but also classic, and given her background, the store is styled to perfection.
Dwell and Drobe are the largest Piccolo Studio stockist other than myself, and I couldn't be happier to have my work in such an amazing store.
