Since opening its doors in 2009, Ivy & Bird has created the perfect realm to celebrate the age-old tradition of sewing and craft. Pieces are dreamed up and created in the attached mezzanine studio – these handmade creations congregate with other specialty items that are constructed by artisans around Brisbane and beyond. Adding a touch of the exotic is a collection of international items that continue to savour the handmade touch, journeying from Israel, America, India and so on. Think handmade shoes from Spain, baskets woven in Bangladesh and the romantic Liberty of London.
