Emily Berlach founder of Bohemian Traders chats to Karen Radley for our latest “My Neighbourhood ” Interviews
Tell me about Bohemian Traders?
Bohemian Traders is an Australian fashion house founded over a decade ago. Born from a background in fine arts and inspired by the beauty of the Australian coast, our collections reflect vibrant colours and classic silhouettes with a contemporary, feminine twist.
Our team is committed to size inclusivity and we ensure that each design caters to the diverse needs of the modern woman. Moreover, sustainability is at the heart of our ethos, as we strive to minimise our environmental footprint.
Our collections feature floral prints and artisan pieces that celebrate the world around us.
Let’s talk about your neighbourhood Terrigal - north of Sydney:
Favourite place for brunch:
We love a long lunch or relaxed dinner at Yellowtail - an unpretentious restaurant serving modern Australian cuisine. We also frequent Osteria il Coccia which is opening a second location next to our Erina Heights Boutique making the entire shopping strip a must-visit destination.
Best coffee in Terrigal:
Not quite Terrigal but Local Hero at Erina, across the road from our Design Studio is amazing.
Favourite gallery or museum:
Art Gallery of NSW or the Museum of Contemporary Art
Favourite place to shop:
We have a boutique at Erina Heights, so it’s an obvious choice for us! Ha!
Favourite park:
Personally, being so close to so many amazing beaches, we tend to choose oceanside over parks. Terrigal or North Avoca are our most frequented.
Favourite food market:
Avoca Beach has great weekend markets
Your sanctuary in your neighbourhood:
Our home is our sanctuary. We have such privacy and peace where we live. During the summer months, we frequently entertain at home - having long lunches or a spritz by the pool with favourite friends is always our first choice. Sometimes it’s hard to force ourselves out!
This summer season I’m loving:
Our new range of size inclusive swim including co-ordinating sarongs and coverups. I’ve never felt better in a swimsuit.
