Vintage Window Dressing with Business Victoria


Did you know that a photo of a past window display from the manufactory currently features on Business Victoria's homepage?

We are also quoted in the marketing article 'dress for success':
Dress for success:

It's great to see a small business featuring up there with the big players on Business Victoria's website. Thanks to Eugenia from BV for the opportunity.

Stayed tuned, as a case study on merchandising may eventuate from this article...
