Second Stitch is an amazing social enterprise that empowers women from diverse backgrounds through textiles training, and garment alterations and production services. We visited their bright and buzzing Coburg studio to chat about what the organisation does, how they got their start, and their goals for the future.

We visited our neighbours at Volker Haug Studio for a coffee and a chat about the beautiful lights they’ve created for us, their diverse and dynamic team, and the role that coffee plays in their office.

We’ve known and admired bakers and educators Michael and Pippa James for a very long time. We visited them at home to drink coffee, make a tiramisu, and chat with them about their coffee ritual, their perfect day off, and their amazing new book, 'Sweet Seasons'.

This year, we’ve put together some recommendations for amazing products and experiences produced by talented local creatives, curators, chefs and changemakers who we’re excited to showcase and support.
