Meet: Laurinda from Collective Closets

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.

We support the Yes campaign

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.

Meet Our Managers: Julie

There isn’t a regular Victoria St shop customer who doesn’t know the incredible Julie, who has been working at Market Lane for nine years and manages the Vic Market location. Julie is a meticulous, detail-oriented and proactive person, who cares deeply about her shop, team members, and especially her customers.

Meet Our Partners: Gateway Yarra Valley

True to its name, Gateway Yarra Valley sits right where the Melba and Maroondah Highways meet, which makes it a great first stop for visitors to the area, as well as locals looking for fresh, delicious food and coffee.
