Market Lane’s How Do You Brew? series features brilliant, unique, passionate and innovative people from our wider community generously giving us a glimpse of their own special coffee moments, and sharing the rituals and meaning behind them.

When we founded Market Lane in 2009, our mission was simple: we wanted to sustainably source, roast and share exceptional coffees, and celebrate the incredible stories of the people behind them.

Founded in 2016, Collective Closets is a fresh and exciting Melbourne/Naarm-based fashion label, owned and run by sisters Laurinda and Fatuma Ndenzako. We were immediately drawn to the sisters’ incredible positive energy, creativity, kindness and authenticity, as well as the gorgeous garments they create with shúkà fabric sourced from Kenya, and their commitment to sharing the stories behind those garments. 

Market Lane Coffee is proud to support the First Nations Voice to Parliament. We are actively committed to reconciliation, and we believe that the upcoming referendum is an important first step towards realising the full Uluru Statement from the Heart – and a significant opportunity to walk with First Nations people in a movement towards much-needed reform and a better, brighter future for this country.
