Random Ally - The Store


Hello fellow Ally cats. Well for those of you who are yet to hear, Sarah and I have opened up our own store. Yes that’s right, Random Ally has officially found a home! We are proud to call Store 2, 30-32 Victoria Street, ROBE “Home sweet home”. Not only is the store full of our goodies but other independent designers from around the world for both females and males. With new stock arriving weekly there will be no time to rest.



One of the amazing designers is Katherine and Punky a jewellery designer from Melbourne. Talk about funky pieces! If you want something that will make people on the street stop and stare, you need a ‘Katherine and Punky’ necklace! With titles for her items such as “Wearing Your Heart On Your Necklace” and ‘Ghouls Keep Me Company’ no wonder these items make you think “I have to have one”



On the subject of jewellery and amazing artists, from Western Australia, Rebecca Bigg, taught herself to make glass lampwork beads which she now calls Glass Candy. These pieces of work are in no other sense unique not to mention fun! From small mushrooms, bees and frogs, to candy like bracelets and pendants that can only be described as planets, Glass Candy will make you the life of the party.

Ever looked at an old record and thought “I’m sick of listening to this, surely there’s another use for it”? No? Well don’t worry Vinyl Cuts has done it for you! With fantastic graphics on hand, they have turned old records into wrist cuffs and necklaces. The cuffs come in different sizes and are perfect for both sexes, ideal for an alternative to studded wrist bands (not to mention more artistic).



If it’s the recycled thing you are into, then Chrysalis Kid Designs is perfect for you. Sick of having bottle tops lying around? Well Chrysalis Kid isn’t, in fact she loves them so much she turns them into earrings! Yes that’s right earrings! These fun little items will make you feel good about yourself for recycling and are sure to catch the eyes of many.



Need something to liven up your hair? Itty Bitty is the thing for you! These cute little hair accessories are made with bright and fun images that are sure to stand out. If you need a hair tie, then you need an Itty Bitty hair tie!

It’s time to jump across the Tasman Sea and check out our favourite up and coming fashion designer, CAST. Dresses, leggings and skirts this designer knows what girls want! Her beautiful angel dresses are ideal for a casual occasions as well as special ones. If you want to treat yourself to something nice then this is the designer for you!



How about items for men? From America we bring you Coyote Alert. These screen printed tees are made of light cotton and are perfect for summer. Coyote Alert has made it fashionable to have flies on you! Yes that’s right their prints are of flies and I have to say flies have never looked so good!


So you have to wear a tie? How formal and boring...well not anymore! Cyberoptix Tie Lab has made wearing ties fun! With their slogan “Ties That Don’t Suck” we can’t help but love these items! In a variety of colours and designs you will never have to wear a bad or boring tie again!

Another American designer for the men is Dark Cycles. This brand knows how to take the mundane images and turn their worlds upside down and inside out! A simple image of a business man with his briefcase is made into a figure like no other with octopus tentacles coming out of his neck. Looking for something different then these are the t-shirts for you!

While we are talking about American designers, we would like to introduce you to Circular Accessories. This brand knows what looks good! Be it on a t-shirt or on a pocket mirror you are sure to love their designs and prints! I know we do!

So you love the vintage look? Then have we got the necklaces and earrings for you! All the way from Scotland we would love to introduce you to Niche, a vintage inspired jewellery designer. Take an image of an old bird cage or vintage binoculars make the drawings complex with minute details and fine lines and you have the amazing styles of Niche.


With all these fantastic designers you would think that we would have no room for our own stock, but we do! With new designs in progress and new styles of clothing we are sure that all our fans and followers will be kept happy. So next time you’re in Robe drop on in and pick yourself up something nice. We look forward to seeing you and don’t forget, every week we will have new stock, so make sure you keep coming back. We do enjoy seeing you!
