Ike & Fly Collective

Ike & Fly Collective was born in October 2014. Nestled in the buzzing shopping and cafe strip that is Westgarth Village in Northcote, this welcoming retail space stocks a range of carefully selected hand crafted clothing, accessories and home wares combined with a selection of quality vintage pieces.

All hand made items are designed and made in Australian by local independent designers, makers and artists.

With an eclectic mix of products, the collection achieves a cohesion of both contemporary and vintage ranges through a firm commitment to well considered design and quality in every piece.

Membership

As a collective designers (collective members) rent a space in the store and take 97% profits from their sales. Members may also choose to work a few hours in the store each week.

There are several advantages to the retail collective as opposed to traditional retail models.

Members have a personal investment in the collective and are engaged in work they produce particularly for the store and for their customers.

It develops connections between makers and the local community. Pooled resources and shared ideas between talented creatives makes a dynamic and ever evolving space.

Reviews

“I love this store so much! From the moment you walk in, you get the aromas from the beautiful natural body products. Sally the owner of the business, is very helpful and is happy to just you browse and take it all in if you want. Every time I’ve been hunting for the perfect present for someone or something gorgeous for me, I find it at Ike & Fly. It’s the rare diamond of Northcote!”
