Attention to detail at The Signet Bureau extends beyond the hand finished fabrics and sharp leather shoes. It glows from the street, where its logo, designed by Monument Art Director Stuart Geddes, hints at the entrance. It falls from the ceiling, in the form of 50+ steel hooks-come clothing racks. It’s in the sanded chipboard floors and felt change rooms. And, of course, attention to detail is in the featured clothes.
The store carries just three labels – Ess.Laboratory, Munk and Melbourne hand-crafted shoes Preston Zly- but as complete collections. “We showcase each label in full, ”explains part storeowner and Ess.Laboratory designer Hoshika. “This way you can see the individuality in each collection.” This philosophy, combined with Munk’s butter soft knits, long layered skirts and standout pieces such as Ess.L’s 32 panel blazer, positions The Signet Bureau as a hallowed icon of not only fashion, but craftsmanship and design.
