So a venue to further explore this mutual interest was a natural progression for these two much travelled women. And so "Jupe Sassafras" was created...a space where they can share their passions with all who enter their boutique outlet in Sassafras - a place where they can support and enrich the lives of a group of young women in rural Cambodia who have been trained and now receive good wages, foo
d and accommodation and in their way, an opportunity to be an integral part of "Jupe Sassafras" family. The silk necklaces are made by a group of disabled women from the same area, the bags too have been sustainably sourced. For 15 years she owned and ran a highly successful floral business servicing the Art Houses, top restaurants businesses and homes in Toorak and the Melbourne's CBD. Her connections with local growers and flair with flowers will ensure "Jupe Sassafras" will be a beautiful space to be in and the natural floral creations will undoubtedly compliment the apparel. Alia channeled her natural aptitude for colour and texture in her creation 'Button Blush', a stylish small business creating jewellery and hair apparel with button and fabric. You may well have seen these in many of the of the quality establishments throughout 'The Hills'. You will be able to purchase these unique items from "Jupe Sassafras". Jupe is about upcycling, bespoke ... the opposite of 'off the rack'. We invite you to come along and view our collection.
