Thoughtfully made. Carefully chosen.
TAILOR BOWER is an Australian independent lifestyle store built around a simple idea: find things that are beautifully designed, exceptionally made and a little harder to discover.
We look for products with a reason to exist—objects where someone has thought carefully about the materials, the design, the way they are made and the way they are used.
Sometimes that means working with a small maker. Sometimes it means discovering an established brand that is well known in its home country but rarely seen in Australia. And sometimes it simply means finding an everyday object that has been made unusually well.
Our collection begins with products discovered in Japan, a country whose approach to craftsmanship, detail and thoughtful design has long inspired us. Over time, TAILOR + BOWER will continue to explore makers and designers from Japan and elsewhere around the world.
WHY TAILOR BOWER?
Our name comes from two very different birds.
The tailorbird is known for its remarkable ability to stitch leaves together to create its nest—small, precise and ingenious.
The bowerbird is a collector. It searches its surroundings for carefully chosen objects, arranging them with an extraordinary eye for colour and detail.
One makes.
One discovers.
Together, they represent what TAILOR + BOWER is about: craftsmanship and curation.
WHAT WE LOOK FOR
We don't want to fill our store simply for the sake of having more products.
We would rather offer fewer things and choose them well.
We look for thoughtful design, quality materials, skilled manufacturing and products with a story worth telling. Wherever possible, we also want you to know who made something, where it came from and why we chose it.
Some things will be practical. Some beautiful. Some unexpected.
Hopefully, many will be all three.
ADELAIDE AUSTRALIA
TAILOR BOWER is based in Adelaide, South Australia, and is part of Australian family-owned company JORACOL.
We work directly with makers, designers and suppliers to bring their products to Australia and introduce them to a new audience.
This is only the beginning.
