Inside Mabelmolly Vintage: Our Philosophy, Our Makers, Our Story
A behind‑the‑scenes look at the heart of our brand.
Where Story Meets Object
Every vintage store has shelves, but not every vintage store has a story.
Mabelmolly Vintage was born from a love of objects with soul, pieces shaped by hand, softened by time, and chosen with intention. It’s a family story, a creative story, and a story of connection to craft and place.
This is who we are.
Our Philosophy: Beauty with Meaning
We believe in:
- slow living
- thoughtful collecting
- provenance
- craftsmanship
- sustainability
- emotional resonance
Every piece we curate must carry one thing above all: soul.
Our Makers: The Heart of Our Collection
We honour the hands behind the work, from Australian studio potters to Japanese artisans to European porcelain painters.
Our shelves hold:
- Pauline Hemer’s botanical poetry
- Wendy Franks’ warm, rounded forms
- Kasuga’s earthy stoneware
- Seyei’s luminous porcelain
- Orrefors’ sculptural crystal
- Limoges’ delicate artistry
- teak bowls carved in the 1960s
- embroidered linens stitched decades ago
...and many more. Each maker brings their own voice to the collection.
Our Process: Curate, Research, Restore, Share
We don’t just source pieces, we learn their stories. We research marks, glazes, regions, and histories. We restore gently, preserving patina and character. And we share each piece with the care it deserves.
Our Story: A Family of Creators & Collectors
Mabelmolly Vintage is a collaboration between mother and daughter, weaving creativity, memory, and craftsmanship into every collection.
It’s a story of shared mornings at markets, long days unearthing and admiring glaze and form, and the joy of finding the perfect piece for someone’s home, and our homes. It's about a sustainable way of life. Of always looking first to the old, instead of reaching for the mass produced, throw away, new.
Our vintage journey was first born from necessity, a way of making do, of finding beauty in what already existed, of honouring the resourcefulness within us in times of scarcity. What began as a practical choice slowly unfolded into something far deeper: a story of joy, creativity, memory‑making, and the quiet privilege of learning. Every piece we’ve found, researched, restored, and rehomed has taught us something, about craft, about history, about ourselves, turning necessity into a lifelong love.
A Home for the Soulful Collector
Mabelmolly Vintage is more than a shop, it’s a place for people who love objects with history, warmth, and meaning. It's a place where everything old is fabulous.
