Q&A WITH FALDIELAH “DEE” JOSEPH, STORE MANAGER FOR POPPISHOP
What is it like working in the Central City?
It’s exciting and eventful as no one day is the same. And it’s great that we have people of different cultures and backgrounds passing through our doors every day.
Tell us about Poppishop?
Poppishop officially opened in early April 2018 and is owned by Graham Rothschild, the creative behind Brand Nomad. The store provides a marketplace for local designers and craft folk to showcase the unique flair of their respective artistries, ranging from clothing, accessories, jewellery, to shoes, ceramics, decor and homeware.
Why should someone come and shop at Poppishop?
Items featured in our store are bright, colourful and quirky. They are locally designed and produced and have been selected based on their superior level of craftmanship. The aim is to catch the eye and pique the curiosity of shoppers and passers-by.
