Welcome to our first Stores We Love feature! This is the part of the blog where we interview our lovely POL Stockists about their local area, their business and themselves.

With the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the bushfires throughout Australia last Summer, we decided to start things off with some of our regional stockists. Our first interview is with Tianna from Be-Spoke Boutique in Mudgee NSW. Tianna has been a POL Stockist for the last few years, we love her eye for detail and the beautiful aesthetic of her store. Keep reading to learn a little more about her and Be-Spoke Boutique, as well as her favourite things to see and do in and around Mudgee.

Tell us a little about you and your store

Be-Spoke Boutique began after I established my own fashion label in 2016 and needed a place where my customers could touch, see and try on my designs. Not only this, I wanted to showcase all the beautiful Australian Brands that I had come to love and work with while studying and working in fashion. While growing up and studying there was always one place that if I were to open up my own boutique it would be there, and when it became available I knew I had a perfect little space that Mudgee would love.

Each item of clothing and accessory you see at Be-Spoke Boutique has been hand selected for its brilliance. With a unique and quirky range of Australian labels, we provide you with a shopping experience like no other. While embracing minimalism, we love to cherish those things that make you special.

 What do you love the most about Mudgee?

There is a lot to love about Mudgee, especially if you love Wine and beautiful landscapes, but I’d have to say in particular the community. No matter what happens, we stick together and support one another.

What makes Mudgee unique?

Our town - we are a small rural town that is becoming very big and well known,  yet we still seem to have kept our ‘small country town’ vibe. The original buildings in Mudgee are beautiful, as well as the parks and surrounding landscapes. I love the drive into Mudgee.

Favourite places in Mudgee:

Eat: I have lots of favourites but here is two… Pipeclay Pumphouse and Eltons

Drink: Burnbrae Wines on a Sunday is a favourite of mine and The Oriental Hotel is a great Pub showcasing many beers, local wines and cocktails.

Shop: There are so many beautiful little homewares stores and boutiques in our town it’s too hard to pick and choose.

See:
Wineries: Logan Wines, Burnbrae Wines, Gilbert Family Wines and Lowe Family Wine Co.
To do: The Ferntree Gully walk is so beautiful!

Stay:  Perry Street Hotel is a beautiful boutique space or a little Airbnb on a farm to really get that country vibe.
