It's one of the most common questions at our counter.

"Is Matt in today?"

Sometimes he is. Sometimes he's walking the halls of a trade fair on the other side of the world, hunting down the next thing you're going to love.

Why We Travel

Anyone can order from a catalogue. That's not how we do it.

At Olivia & Grace, we only sell products and brands we believe in. Gifts we personally love to give and love to receive. The only way to know if something is truly special is to see it, touch it and meet the people who make it.

So every year, Matt packs a bag (and occasionally loses one) and heads to the world's biggest gift and design fairs.

Where He's Been

Maison&Objet, Paris. The home of European design. Thousands of brands under one roof, from French homewares to Scandinavian style. This is where trends are born.

Spring Fair, United Kingdom. Britain's biggest gift and home show. Quirky, clever and full of the kind of British charm our customers adore.

NY Now, New York. American gifting at its boldest. Fun, bright and full of ideas you won't see anywhere else in Perth.

Ambiente, Frankfurt. One of the largest consumer goods fairs on the planet. Beautiful design, serious quality and brands that last.

Closer to home, you'll find him at the Melbourne gift fairs, meeting Australian makers and founders face to face.

Next on the list? The Nuremberg Toy Fair in Germany, the biggest toy show in the world.

Proudly Backing Aussie Brands

Travelling the world doesn't mean we've forgotten home. Far from it.

Some of the most loved brands on our shelves were born right here in Australia. Clever small businesses. Passionate founders. Makers who pour everything into what they create.

We're a family-run business ourselves, so we know what it takes. That's why we'll always make room for Australian brands alongside our international finds.

The best gift shop isn't about where a product comes from. It's about whether it's genuinely great. Sometimes that's Paris. Sometimes it's Melbourne. Sometimes it's just down the road.

It's Not Just About Products

Every trip is also a chance to learn. Matt visits some of the best independent shops in Europe to see what makes them special. Clever displays. Brilliant service. Little ideas that make shopping feel like an event.

Those ideas come home to Beaufort Street too.

What It Means for You

When you shop at Olivia & Grace, you're not browsing the same range as every shopping centre in WA. You're shopping a collection chosen by hand, from across the globe and right here at home, for Perth.

It means gifts with a story. Brands you won't find down the road. That little "where did you get this?" moment when someone unwraps your present.

So, Where's Matt?

If he's not behind the counter, he's probably out there finding something new. Something beautiful. Something you didn't know you were looking for.

Pop into Olivia & Grace at 672 Beaufort Street, Mount Lawley, or shop online at oliviaandgrace.com.au. And next time you ask where Matt is, you'll know.

He's shopping for you.
