The Hilary Tote Starting out as a carrying device for coffee beans, this hessian bag has been given a second chance at life. Taking you from the grocery store to the beach, the Hilary tote...
east of grey will be at MIAMI MARKETTA with No Formula. We will be selling lots of cool stuff, one-off pieces, vintage pieces…shoes, bags n belts as well as dresses…have a few embroidered blouses at the moment too…perfect for Summer just around the corner. There will be local bands rocking our ears off, local food vendors filling our bellies….falafel pockets, cupcakes and pie….I think I will get a crochet bikini top from my friend Ange at Lovebird…
Come and see us 23 Hillcrest Pde Miami 5pm – 10pm….great starting point for a Friday night!
So it happens that we weren’t even going to see Jimmy the Saint and The Sinners, we were going to see Adam & Dusty, the support band, Emily is in the band.
I don’t know how to describe them both, upbeat, indy rock/country, very cool, go see them.
So we all wore east of grey, even Emily, the kid dress, she rocked it!
Wednesday 15th June. east of grey was honoured to be part of the GC Business Ready2Wear @ Sanctuary Cove and we have the professional shots to show you. Fashion TV was there filming, haven’t seen the clip yet but I’ll show you when I do! Can’t wait to see it.
What an exciting 2 weeks, so much has happened for east of grey.
- a feature in the Gold Coast Bulletin about ‘Learn to Sew Workshops with Kim Bailey’.
- a location for the sewing workshops – Lisa’s Designer Fabrics, Unit 2, The Brickworks Annexe, 19 Warehouse Road, Southport, just behind Ferry Road Markets. Saturday workshops will run for 4 hours, 11am – 3pm. I am still mobile as well.
- showed a mix of the Frenchie collection and Ballerina on Horseback collection at the St Hilda’s High Tea Fundraiser. Scored another pic in the Gold Coast Bulletin, yeah!
- showed the newest collection from east of grey, Regulators, at BusinessGC Fashion Incubator Ready2wear fashion. Look out for it on Fashion TV.
And another exciting 2 weeks to come…another photoshoot, a launch to organise and a new collection to finalise.
Friday night saw me take off to Town & Country to see my friend Sarah Archer. She plays guitar and has a beautiful voice….you know those voices that send shivers up your spine, or gives you goosebumps? Yep, she’s it! She played an original just for me, aww, thanks Sarah.
A little clip from the Regulators photoshoot. We had so much fun, my stomach was sore from laughing so hard….what a crack up, I’m glad I filmed some of the shoot, hence the shaky quality, sorry bout that. Kat is just a ‘natural born photographer’, and she has just had some photos published in Vogue Italia and a Japanese Mag.
Thanks Kat, thanks to Ally and Kirsty for beauty and talent for the lens, Carly and Candy for hair, oh the plait and Jess for flawless makeup.
So if you haven’t heard yet, we are planning to set off on a road trip at the end of the year. Sewing and treking around Australia to show you how to sew, style and create your very own pieces. We will be hunting down all the vintage we can find along the way so you will always have something to choose from for the special times!
The itinerary is nearly sorted, along with sponsors and events. It’s all really exciting and we need you to make it all happen. Who wants to sew? Contact us and book now, you don’t want to miss out when the east of grey gypsies hit your town!

What a day!
