Well, it was a SuperCool experience to be part of the L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival collaborating with St Ali in South Melbourne on 9 - 12 March. Whilst it was a lot of heavy lifting, DIY overload (spray painting anything we could fluoro and making chandeliers out of vintage sunnies) it was all worth it.

We learned that the St Ali crew love our disco funk music, that Yarra Place is like a little piece of Fitzroy in South Melbourne and that some SuperCool shoppers will go to any length to buy vintage chests

***Thanks to all who came to visit us, thanks especially to those who bought some SuperCool stuff from us and we look forward to sharing our selection of random vintage and everyday objects with you at our next location at Great Dane in Fitzroy. Stay tune for more details.

***Like taking a vintage mechanics chest back with them in a cab to the airport back home to Sydney as their luggage!!!

Exciting times at TheSuperCool.

We bumped out of our beloved SO:ME space shop (location #4) and moved just up the road to one of the most SuperCool cafe's in Melbourne St Ali! We are in the mechanics garage next door to the cafe (see the red graffiti roller door entrance in the photo above) for the long weekend in collaboration with L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival.

Make sure you come by and say hi and check out our fab fashion inspired interiors and visual merchandising displays.... we're proud of it (if we do say so ourselves!) Now remember, its 3 DAYS ONLY!!! Friday 9 - Sunday 11 March - 9:30-5pm each day 12-18 Yarra Place, South Melbourne (map here).

See your gorgeous, air kissing, fabulous, high heel wearing, fashion-fantabulous self there.... or casual, nonchalant, non-fab, converse wearing self instead! Either way.

So, with so much stock sold and so much new stock in, we decided it was time for a re-merchandise of our shop at SO:ME space. Here's some pics from our re-jig.

As we're really not photographers (thank you hipstamatic) its really better if you come by and visit in person! Our SuperCool colourful pennant flags say bonjour, winner and hola for the small one's and merci, 2nd best and gracias for the large one's.

Also our colourful paintchip notepads provide a great little gift at $3 each. Enjoy summer while you still can with these SuperCool beach ball sets (also good in the park!).

We've created a SuperCool kids area with chemistry inspired glassware, Scando inspired prints, recycled wooden dice blocks, ABC and 123 flashcards, vintage French wooden shields and lighthouse style lanterns.

These jute bags saying French Vintage, Italian Vintage & Swiss Vintage are so versatile. Use them to store your papers and mags, hold your towels in your bathroom, put toys in, keep your vege's and fruit in or use as decoration. There's mini one's as well which are perfect for stationery, toiletries, small pot plants and jewellery.

We heart these vintage inspired book cupboards. Perfect for hiding your treasures. We also love the vintage folding ruler star with bingo and flashcard attached.

Our Calendars are all on sale. These colourful, floral and typographic calendars are perfect when wall hung using a bull dog clip or famed on your desk. They're reduced to only $10. This wall art map is the last one in stock. Hand made with love in the US, these are beautifully created using old maps and atlas papers.

We've got lots more new stock in; vintage phones, test tube racks, ipad covers, map prize ribbons, vintage scales, I love you prints and vintage camera prints.

We're digging these new graphic cushions with eye doctor charts and a collection of ampersands. The perfect addition to any designers couch, no?

If you love candles and apothecary bottles, these candles (made in Australia) are perfect for you. With green tea, citrus & sage or basil, lime & mandarin to choose from, you can get the 40 hour burn time candle or the 80 hour burn time candle (pending on your addiction levels!) Then when there's no more candle left, use it as a vase or container.

These glass door knobs are perfect for updating your dodgy contemporary ones. No excuses. They're sitting in the vintage Japanese film slide trays.

"Expand your View" indeed. Remember the awesome viewfinders from your youth. We're getting a tad nostalgic for these fun toys we used to have & this print brings back nothing but SuperCool memories!

We've just created these "Emotional mini milk bottles" - SuperCool, right? $20 for a set of 3. Choose your crazy emotion faces. Great for gifts, fun for putting flowers, pencils, lollies in. We've only got limited stock of these at the moment. Run, don't walk!

Quite like the pirate one on the right who looks like he's sleeping (or got something in his other eye!) They kind of remind us of Mr Men faces!

We're loving our fab Scando designed prints (we have a limited amount of these babies) and they're all framed up in glass frames for only $50 each (A3 Size). Inexpensive wall art anyone?

"Vintage Fondue Party" print - how 70's retro fabulous is this print?

                           "I like to Rock"...(out on the iconic classic Eames chair).

                                Grey print background with orange print.

Blue & Red Scando style Kitchen shelves with all the essentials! Does your kitchen need brightening up? Imagine it sitting next to a vintage red set of scales (we have these too! - shameless plug!)

"A cup of nordic tea" (indeed). Loving the bright orange background with scando/nordic design on the cup & saucer.

"Always start the day with a refreshing cup of Hot Coffee" - perfect for Melbournites. This print is in a great chocolatey/coffee colour and we believe would sit really well in a hole in the wall coffee shop. (Suggestions, anyone?)

Following on from the Coffee theme - "A morning without Coffee is like sleep" print is another great scando style print. Sky blue background with orange coffee pot.

  A must for any lover of scando, vintage, industrial and mid century furniture. Hello fellow neighbours in inner city Melbourne! It says "Home, sweet mid-century modern Home".

What collection of wall art would be complete without an eye doctors chart? We love this one as its so true. "Without Music, life would be a mistake".

And for those Star Wars fans - May the force be with you forever!

We're loving this great new concept by clever kiwi's flatout frankie . They've designed flat packed cardboard toys for inspiring creative and active play with kids. We want the Nintendo DS's and technology of the world to die a natural death and these smart, 100% recyclable, New Zealand made toys will help get kids off the couch and playing again. They can colour in the toys or just play with them. And the best bit.. they're super affordable ranging from $40- $45 retail. We've got stock of them now at SO:ME space. So come and check them out!
