This July Mainichi and Design by JUDE invite you to our Step into Armour pop-up shop at The Unicorn Collection, 131 Sturt Street, Ballarat.

The pop-up offers visitors an opportunity to explore and experience thoughtful design, slow making and creative re-use. See our collaborative project from the BOUND exhibition up close!

Alongside the exhibition piece, discover a curated collection of contemporary unisex fashion, jewellery, accessories and collaborative work inspired by the project. Throughout the three month long pop-up season enjoy workshops, artist talks, in-store styling sessions, VIP shopping events and an exclusive opening night preview.
