Sarah & Sebastianâs pint-size jewellery gallery relies on word-of-mouth rather than showy window displays to attract customers.
Located in Baldwin Street, Armadale, a stoneâs throw from the High Street fashion strip, their first Melbourne store is designed by Russell & George in a 50-square-metre space that was formerly a hairdressing salon.
Unusual foil was installed, crushed by hand and applied over a number of layers.
