Hello!! Posted on 1st September 2010
Hello friends of Genki!
This project has been cooking in the oven for a long time but finally our new website is here for you to enjoy.
This is only the beginning…a limited range of “I love tees”, the classic stripeys, beloved Suzette denim skirt & a few old timers. More styles are in the pipeline with details coming in the next news edition.
The Japanese stuff is fresh from my fabulous trip in July & looks sparkly & delectable here on my studio shelves. Here’s a peek!
Pre-loved goodies was a recent inspiration. I have so many things that I don’t need but still love & hope will bring joy to someone else. Also, I adore venturing out & fossicking so now I have a good excuse! The concept of inanimate objects taking on a lifelike quality & carrying their experiences on from one home to another really appeals to me. Best of all we’re not throwing great stuff out! The wastage from fast fashion breaks my heart & I hope that more people go back to valuing great quality that lasts a lifetime.
Which brings me back to Genki, we are still making everything here in Melbourne, using great fabric & keeping up that fabulous quality we are so proud of. Making locally means that we can be spontaneous & can produce very limited runs. If you do have a special request, remember, all we need is 10 committed customers & we can do it. Voila!
I really miss the shop, those great chats we used to have & feeling a close connection with customers. My dream is to continue that here-and I welcome your words of advice, feedback & please feel free to share stories or ask us anything in the “dear genki” section Get in touch.
Speaking of which, thanks to everyone who answered our Questionnaire, helping us decide what to make first & how to build the new site (the winner of the $20 voucher will be emailed direct).

PS. Starting next news post I’ll be including a “Recipe of the Week” with a wicked desert first up!
