SAFEHOUSE welcomes "tou" from Japan





















BONIKO's SAFEHOUSE is finally re-opened in Fitzroy North!

In addition to our basic organic cotton toe socks range, we are very excited to welcome products by " tou" from Japan.
" tou" means " a question", " ask ", and " inquire in Japanese.
They produce a range quirky knit accessories, finished and packaged beautifully to the highest quality standards.
We fell in love with their multi-functionality and enigmatic styling, we hope the Melbourne people find the same.

You will also find our hand picked recycled / vintage clothing for men / ladies / kids, at very reasonable price.

Shop2 347 St. George's Road

Super durable bags are made from 12oz unbleached canvas, with Japanese eco-tag as standard.

Thank you so much Laura!!!

The bags are retailing for $25 each, pick yours up quickly before they are gone!

We love Isabella - the Preachers Rocks!


WINTERLAND at Carrageworks-Sydney

The first night went off with a great selection of bands, we almost forgot to mind our stall!
Then a beautiful girl approached us wishing to purchase one of our selection of vintage beaded cardigans...
Softly spoken, so graceful, I thought she might be a model or a dancer.
Then she told us that she is the last performer tonight and she is going to wear the cardi on the stage, we were so stoked!
When I checked the line up, the last performing band was the Preachers.
When they were on, it was nothing like I was expected from the quiet spoken girl I saw.
Her vocal was so powerful and so amazing they ROCKED!
She kindly gave me an autograph and I got to take a photo with her:-)
We love you Isabella and thank you so much for the great night!!
