Deb's Picks - Hello Summer

Sourcing unique, out-of-the-ordinary local and international clothing and accessories are my passion – and it’s the reason we’re still around after over two decades. Fashion is about more than just an item to me – it’s about the way a one-of-a-kind dress makes you feel, how the right pair of espadrilles puts a spring in your step, and the way turning up the hem of a pair of trousers can transform it completely…

Beachgold is proud to present collections inspired by this unique environment by true artisans of the region. We hope you enjoy...

What a year!! Goodbye 2020!

Friends,
Last night as I sat wrapping Xmas presents, which seems to be a never-ending task, the lights went out... Randomly, power was lost throughout seven suburbs. I sat in the pitch black feeling around for that glass of Rosè, I thought to myself 'I'm not even surprised!' If this year has taught me anything, it's to take nothing for granted.

Go For Gold

It's been a while since there was such a strong colour trend in fashion, but this season various shades of yellow and gold have marked almost every important runway worldwide.

Winter In My Heart

It seems like every time winter makes its grand appearance I am completely unprepared for the cold weather! Do you ever say to yourself "I made it through last winter without getting a proper jacket and I was totally fine!"?

Jean-ius! Your search for the perfect pair is over...

What I do know (being a jeans girl myself) is that whilst they may not fix everything in your existential world - a great pair of jeans can change your life (and the shape of your bum!). We found a French brand for the store called Le Temps Des Cerises a few years ago and have never looked back! Imagine a brand that has every shape, length, style and colour option? It's here! And we sell it.

Shine bright like a diamond! (Or don't, but if you don't, you're missing out!)

It is common knowledge amongst friends and long term customers - and customers who have become long term friends....that I am a little sequins crazy. Call me a magpie. Call me an expert. I cant explain it - but I can't live without them!
