The Bistrin family has had a retail presence on Gertrude Street since the 60's and when Tatiana followed in her fathers footsteps to keep this tradition going, she created a clothing, accessory and gift emporium (2003).
What makes this shop unique - apart from being the first of it's kind in Gertrude Street - is that every item in the shop is hand-picked by Tatiana's keen eye for style backed up with her skills as; a trained artist, spanish flamenco dancer, fashion and textile designer, theatre performer, musician and style/culture columnist for Melbourne on Melbourne.
When customers leave Bistrins Emporium there is a common farewell... "I always find something in this shop!" And they always have plenty of change to continue shopping along the 'now groovy", Gertrude Street.
