Former Island Bay manager, Imma, has taken on the management of the new Brooklyn store, and we look forward to seeing what she does.

Perfectly Imperfect
- St Vincent de Paul Society
- This is how my work is often described. As a textile artist, garment designer and maker, I never make anything that doesn’t have imperfections. Some are deliberate but most emerge as part of the creative process of experimenting and innovating, as I problem-solve my way from pieces of textile on a table, to a finished garment that is ready to wear.
