Support local artists and purchase one of a kind items at one of the most cleverly named boutiques in the nation.
Incube.8r is a retail store that sells a range of handmade products and was created with the purpose of giving local artists and designers a place to showcase their wares. The store is divided into glass cubes, with goods displayed within (so the products are 'in cube' – geddit?!) Each store can hold up to ninety different displays.
The first incube.8r store opened in Melbourne in 2007. The business now has three stores nationally, in Melbourne (
321 Smith Street, Fitzroy), Sydney (
shop 7, 3-5 Myahgah Mews, Mosman) and Brisbane (
368 Brunswick Street).
Incube.8r runs like a permanent, indoors market. The selection of fashion, jewellery, home wares, paper crafts and accessories is unique, so for a special present or a one of a kind statement piece, incube.8r is a good place to start. There are no commission fees on the pieces in store, so when you purchase something from incube.8r, the artists receives 100% of the price.
Anyone with a talent for creating hand crafted items can rent a cube from this store – you don't have to live in Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne. The spaces can be rented for as little as $21.00 a week and that price includes the lockable glass case, insurance and inclusion in all incube.8r advertising.
