ABOUT CALLA.

THE CALLA COLLECTIVE BUSINESS.

What began as a dream, a whisper to my (Kim) heart in 2016 has morphed, stretched and grown into what we today know as Calla Collective.

Our hearts have a passion for beauty, truth and goodness. For beautiful things, moments and people that would share the truth of how perfect and fabulous each of us is despite what the world around us says. For goodness to flow from what we do, how we do it and who we live and work amongst.

We love to bring life and love to every person who walks through our doors - team members, suppliers, fellow local retailers, local artisans and craftspeople.

ABOUT US.

THE CALLA TEAM.

We have asked our team to finish some sentences so you can learn more about how fabulous they are.

KIM | WARRANDYTE

I live with my husband Michael and three amazing teenage children in a cute as 1880's Miners Cottage just minutes from the store.

I adore colour, coffee and chocolate.

I am a risk taker, an optimist and a great time waster.

I have a Science degree I've never used.

I love movies with happy endings and adore laughing until my eyes leak.

I can't dance in real life but I am amazing in my imagination.

Calla Collective began as a tiny dream in my heart in 2016. With the purpose of creating a platform to showcase local and Australian creatives, designers and brands - through products, workshops and mentoring.

ANDI | WARRANDYTE

I have lived in many many places (St Kilda, Croydon, St Kilda east, Elsternwick, Florida, on a boat near Boston, NOW Boronia) WOOOP WOOOP!

I adore my nieces and nephews, performing and tiny things (eg tiny spoons).

I am scared of a lot of things (birds, moths, bugs, flying things, spiders etc.) I have a really great imagination (sometimes a little too great) and I'm amazing at buying things.

I worked as a performer for about 6 years in Musicals, Dancing on cruise ships, Commercials etc.

I love making people laugh, encouraging people and loving on people.

I can't keep things tidy or in order. I try my hardest to set it up. Next minute, its a mess again and I am baffled as to how it happened.

FUN FACT I still have 2 baby teeth. It's a genuine issue.
