Find Mrs Beckinsale at Olive Grove Studios

Mrs Beckinsale has joined the Olive Grove Studios!



Better than wholesale or consignment, Olive Grove is a co-op where makers keep 100% of the sales price of their goods. That's what I call support local craftspeople!

Starting in March you'll be able to browse Mrs Beckinsale's wares seven days a week at 159 Sydney Road, Brunswick.



Olive Grove has a brand new blog which doesn't quite have any posts yet, but follow it now and you'll know as soon as we start posting.

Routemaster Cushion - 8 Victoria (custom made)

A Routemaster Cushion recently custom made for a lass's boyfriend who used to ride the real thing to work.



The custom destination board was created digitally and printed on inkjet fabric. It lacks the rustic charm of the screenprinted route 38s and route 159s, but it gives the freedom to send your suishy bus wherever your heart desires.

The radiators on these cushions are so cute!
