Thank you so very much all my beautiful friends, family and fans who came in to help out and make the new Lenko Boutique Flinders Lane! Now the shop is almost finished we have started to open to give you a sneak peek of what all the fuss was about.
We have some very interesting and exciting pieces from all your favourite labels, and some brand new shining stars of Australian fashion. Chip Chop, Limedrop, I Heard They Eat Cigarettes, Corky, Made by White and many many more!
Officially opening on June 12th so come to the Launch Party! 6-9pm, Shop 5, Cathedral Arcade, 37 Swanston Street. Yiieeww.
