Hello Kuwaii

You’ve seen them on the pages of Peppermint, now Kuwaii‘s candy coloured, made-in-Melbourne womenswear can be fawned over in the flesh at their new flagship store in Melbourne Cathedral Arcade (the former brick-and-mortar home of Alice Euphemia). A sister store to their Brunswick abode, Kuwaii’s delightfully paired-back shop interior houses a selection of designers plus their own colourful range of womenswear, accessories and, of course, designer Kristy Barber’s famous chunky platform shoes, also crafted locally in Melbourne. Slow fashion advocates, Kuwaii garments are designed to be worn a thousand times and occupy a special place in your heart – and your wardrobe – for years to come. Melbourne, relish this opportunity to browse Kuwaii’s racks in person before picking up your next new favourite garment!
