A new store has nested on the ever-evolving Arthur Street strip tucked just off James Street. Ivy + Bird is the creation of Brisbane-based jewellery and accessories designer, Maria Diakos. It's an inviting space that will inspire creativity. I walked in to be greeted by a lovely staff member busily sewing the finishing touches on a piece who warmly welcomed me whilst I pawed through and discovered the hidden treasures.
Maria's jewellery flickers amongst handmade women and children's clothing and bolts of Liberty of London, American and Japanese fabric. Not to forget the array of hand woven baskets, artwork, printed papers, unique cushions and beautiful books. Keep your newfound treasure for yourself or wrap them in one of the beautiful gift papers available adorned with a handmade card.
I left the store feeling somewhat uplifted and in the mood to dust off the sewing machine and get it whirring back into action. Ivy + Bird is an instore experience you won't forget. To inspire the most uninspired.
