The newest edition to Curtain House’s already impressive repertoire of retailers, bars and restaurants, Búl is a beacon of light for lost sartorial ships. For the bleating foghorns of those lost in the sprawling maze of Melbourne shopping- dominated by hidden loft warehouses and neatly tucked away lanes- Búl offers a relaxing escape. Indeed, put Búl to your ear and you just might hear the sound of the seaside.
Casual, laid back charm characterises the Búl store and its in house label by the same name. Inspired by the beauty of the sea, the range invokes dreams of bonfires and blankets- warm, oily fish’n’chips while ranging waves crash against the shore, a beautiful, mysterious tempest. Búl embraces knitwear for such winter beachside activity. Think long, chucky cargians on a natural palette of fawn and grey, much like the beach itself. Búl also has a delightful range of leather booties to match with oversized knitwear and understated sex appeal.
