The Thousands

Some moments in life, however superficial, stick in your mind. One of these was in a second floor boutique in Melbourne called Marais. On the counter in this boutique there was a book, and in this book was a label called Preen. It was the start of a deconstructed love affair, an affair that lingered from silk blouse to sharp blazer, through payday to credit card debt.** Greer Warnken and Melissa Thompson understand the joy and pain of a material love. They opened the The Private Rich on Riley Street last month and filled it with rare labels such as Burfit from France, England’s Eley Kishimoto, Future Classics and Preen. Let the credit debauchery begin.
