The main rea...Hi Jessica, thanks for your comment. The main reason that The Signet Bureau isn't here is because they weren't that helpful! I spent a day in Gertrude st drawing up my map, talking to shop owners and taking photographs etc. I went in to The Signet Bureau, gave them my card and explained the site... but they weren't too keen on me taking photos, so I asked for them to email me some, and they never did! Oh well... to be honest this guide also got so long in the end I didn't prioritise chasing it up. I think 'Left' next door is a much more exciting shop in terms of the selection of unique labels they offer that you can't find elsewhere in Melbourne (although it is pretty expensive!).

Since the Brunetti family sold it it's lost a bit of its character. The Fitzroy/Carlton area has changed so much in the last 5 years or so... you'll have to plan a weekend visit to satisfy that latter craving!<BR/><BR/>Kitty - YES we met early on I think... you were with Emma? You looked like a sailor? I didn't put 2 and 2 together either.. duh! How funny. Thanks for your comment about the Gertrude st map! Man... that drawing took a while.
