A Day In The Life Of Chrissy Lafian, Founder And Creative Director Of Suku

Chrissy Lafian knows how to get stuff done. Born and raised in Makassar, Indonesia, the founder of SUKU Home moved by herself to New Zealand to go to high school when she was just 15. She landed in Melbourne to study graphic design at university, and has been here ever since.

Over the last 7 years, Chrissy has grown SUKU from a small bedding range sold online, to a fully fledged lifestyle brand with teams in both Melbourne and Bali, and a brand new flagship store, Dream Baby, on Gertrude Street, Fitzroy!

The jazzy SUKU prints in a rainbow of bright, happy colours are a sparkly jewel box  of joy in the often muted palette of Melbourne. That’s all Chrissy – her sunny demeanour and creative vision, coupled with business savvy and fierce independence make her a force to be reckoned with.

Between running the shop, managing her international teams, and being the creative force behind SUKU, Chrissy lets us in on what it takes to be at the helm of a business she’s built from scratch.

A Day In The Life Of Pastry Chef Patti Chimkire of Mali Bakes

When pastry chef Patti Chimkire lost most of her work in 2020 due to the Melbourne lockdowns, she decided to make the most of her free time and explore a new source of income baking cookies and cakes from her small share house – and boy, are we glad she did!

Soon after she launched Mali Bakes, Patti was producing countless sweet treats each week and experimenting with cake colours and flavours. Her delicious retro-inspired creations – that look almost too good to eat – have been met with overwhelming demand, and now she has her own adorable Thornbury store.

We recently spent a day in Patti’s world filled with colour, sweet treats, and lots of hard work!

Weight Loss7 Fall Activities that Burn Calories

Along with pumpkin-spice everything, fall brings with it the return of your regular fitness routine. After a lazy summer catching waves and baseball games, we tend to refresh our workouts as we settle into our back-to-school schedules. But back to “school” doesn’t necessarily have to mean back to the gym — plenty of the fall activities you’re already doing burn enough calories to offset all the tempting seasonal goodies. Did someone say Halloween candy?
