Follow on Google News |  Farrah Design Presents: 109 Greville - A New Concept Store For MenEarlier this month, Melbourne product designer Tom Farrah won a gold medal at the Sydney design awards while simultaneously launching a new men’s concept store in Greville Street Prahran.
By: Fortis Green Without exception, every one of the Melbourne based brands involved in the109 Greville retail space is an expert in their field with a shared focus on offering customers unmatchable products in terms of design, materials and construction. States Tom Farrah “Although our products are very different, our perspectives regarding quality and design are strikingly similar. It just made sense to bring together these specific brands under one roof so that we could offer a truly diverse and broad range of products for every facet of male life. These guys are on their A-game in the way that they approach their work and their drive to get the best product out there into the market. That really resonates with me.” Australian wine producer Seppelts will continue their support of local designers by sponsoring the 109 Greville launch event 6pm-8 on Thursday the 27th of August. 109 Greville is now open seven days a week from 10am-6pm Mon-Fri and 10am-5pm Sat-Sun. The store can be found at 109 Greville Street, Prahran.

Using his international manufacturing connections and vast industry experience, Willmoth has considered every aspect that goes into making a pair of socks, before honing every detail of design, material and construction to create some of the finest men’s socks on the market. fortisgreen.com Unique and Vintage Eyewear Jim Spencer has been sourcing and restoring genuine vintage spectacle frames for more than 10 years.
