The SuperCool

Use this section to provide a description of your blog.

TheSuperCool has been spotted.....

So we've noticed we've been popping up on some of our favourite websites, blogs and some unexpected one's too. Yay for us! Here's a run down.

1. We discovered this superfab digital homes magazine & blog called Adore magazine . With pages of ideas for your casa, lots of interesting industry icons interviewed and some great imagery... we're pretty excited to not only have a full page ad in their mag but a blog post and some editorial as well.

2. You can't really be a true melbournite if you haven't read Michi girl's weather & fashion forecasts can you? We've popped up on their noticeboard with details about our 2 locations - SO:ME space and St Ali.

3. The great affordable art website called Signed & Numbered wrote quite a flattering review of our latest location.

4. We've been nominated as 1 of the 13 must see events on the Style Melbourne website for the L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival.

5. After tweeting about the new Anthology magazines we're stocking, Kitty Baroque did a blog post and took some great pics of our current location. Bless!

SO:ME Space photos

Photo's by Robert Go We are so rapt with our new photo's from the latest location of TheSuperCool at SO:ME Space at South Melbourne Markets. We launched on Friday and had a busy Australia Day Weekend.

We've got lots of new product in from amazing Japanese vintage pieces (including a vintage japanese phone with telex, japanese maritime chest, fishing floats, wooden slide film trays, instructional charts, sweets tins, chemistry sets etc) and lots of great new vintage glass bottles as well as eclectic glass and ceramic doorknobs, new stationery, new cushions, new Australiana inspired memorabilia and some quirky pieces like our chalkboards cut out in various shapes (a pig and a little boy silhouette). Plus we've got loads of our old faithful best sellers back in - the ever popular mini milk bottles, the ABC & 123 flashcards for kids, the vintage kids shoe lasts, the MR & MRS signs and the versatile glass domes.

Come and visit us - we have new stock coming each week.

Details of opening hours and dates here.

Destination #3 announced - SO:ME Space at South Melbourne Markets

We're pretty excited to announce our next destination for TheSuperCool mobile emporium of everyday objects.

We were approached by the team behind SO:ME Space - a unique retail concept that supports local and emerging designers from around Australia for the purposes of brand growth, experimentation and development in a dedicated, boutique space within the market. Encouraging repeat customers, there’s a changing of the guard for 4 of the pop up spaces within SO:ME Space and it is here TheSuperCool will be visiting for 6 weeks with a unique retail installation.

We like each space we inhabit to show a different mix of product tailored to the local customers including stationery, design books, limited edition posters, kids toys, homewares, gifts and a SuperCool selection of vintage collectables. This time is no exception. Since our last destination at Pope Joan, we've been buying up big (ahh the credit card!) and we've found some amazing vintage pieces from far and wide. We've also got some great new designers we've been working with, so we'll have new stock we'll be bringing out each week we're at SO:ME Space to keep it fresh and interesting. The best bit is, you can do your grocery and fresh fruit & vege's shopping, stop at Paella man for lunch and have a coffee at La Lapa whilst you shop it up with us. So spread the word SuperCool folk.

Dates you need to know: Launching Friday 27 January - Sunday 4 March 2012

Location: SO:ME Space South Melbourne Market  

Enter via corner of York & Cecil Street South Melbourne

Opening Days & Hours: same as market days. Wednesdays:  8 - 4 pm Fridays: 8 - 5 pm Saturdays: 8 - 4 pm Sundays: 8 - 4 pm See you there!

Mr & Mrs Signs

We've finally got our re-order on the awesome, SuperCool "Mr & Mrs" signs. Proving a major hit during our Melbourne Central pop up space, we sold out in 1.5 weeks and its taken a while to get them back as they're hand crafted by a clever duo in the USA. For those of you who saw and loved them, wanted them for your friends wedding or wanted them for your own wedding or just wanted them for an early Valentines Gift (whatever your reason, we don't judge!) they're back.

The front of the pair says "Mr & Mrs" and the back says "It's Official, We're Married" and they cost $20 for the pair. Bargain! They make great wedding photo's as well as displayed by me & Noonie (not in wedding gear clearly!)

If you like what you see, email us here to order some, we'll post them out to you.

We'll be setting up our online store soon and we'll have them at the next pop up space but until then, we know there was a bunch of you wanting them, so get in quick!

Happy New Year SuperCool people! We're rested and ready to bring more SuperCool stuff to you all in 2012. Question is where next? We're really hoping to secure a great pop up space down The Great Ocean Road or the Peninsula Coast for Late January. Maybe you know of someone who has a....

1. Great Cafe with function room or empty space perfect for us to inhabit

2. Art Gallery that would fit our vibe

3. Empty shop begging for a SuperCool make over (even if for a long weekend) We'd love your help in finding our next location and we'll reward you as well! In February, we're looking at Castlemaine / Daylesford.

So again, if you know of any great spaces, don't hesitate to contact us here.

Gracias!
