Georgie Love launched in March 2006 and was Australia's first website store dedicated to promoting and selling handmade delights from independent and emerging artists from Australia! Georgie Love is filled with a mix of edgy, eclectic, funky and beautiful pieces that are either one-off originals or a part of a very small run. Most things can't be found in stores anywhere else! Georgie Love's items are made by hand and not in factories, usually from a range of recycled and vintage fabrics. We love all things produced ethically and locally.
Emma Grace
My work bridges the gap between fashion and art. With a degree in Visual Arts, my work is conceptually based with strong overtones of fashion and design. I draw inspiration from all around me - people, places, fashion and art, it is my own emotional response to these things which brings the work to life. In my creative process, I start with an idea of what I want to convey to my audience, then create the form to suit my personal style, so it...Read More & View Products
