Brand-new Italian linen, in a shed on County Road 8
Julie picks every piece herself in Florence and brings back two or three of any one style, split across three colours. It's all new, nothing here is consignment, and you'll find it in the white shed beside Krusty Mustard.
- 2983 County Road 8, Waupoos
- Next door to Krusty Mustard Co.
- Wednesday to Sunday, late April to Thanksgiving
What's on the rail
A small rail, picked one piece at a time
Dresses, tunics, wide-leg trousers, fine knits, and almost all of it linen. Julie buys through a sourcing agent in Florence's wholesale district and walks the showrooms in person. There are something like six hundred wholesalers in that district and she doesn't speak Italian, so the agent is how she gets through the right doors.
-
Inside the shed
About ten feet by sixteen. White plank walls, a rail down one side, a red armoire in the corner and the door propped open onto the deck. It's a small room, and trying something on in it feels nothing like a mall fitting room.
-
The pieces
Washed linen, lace hems, easy shapes that work over a swimsuit or under a jacket, and the odd piece of jewellery to finish them. Everything arrives new with its tags on.
Why it's different
Two or three of anything. Never a dozen.
-
You're unlikely to meet your own outfit
Julie orders a maximum of two or three units of any one style, and splits those across three colours. The ceiling is deliberate. The county is small, people end up at the same markets and the same patios, and nobody wants to arrive in the dress two other women are already wearing.
-
A shed costs less to run than a storefront
The prices sit under the Main Street boutiques in Picton, Bloomfield and Wellington. The rent here is a small shed on a farm property rather than a heritage building with a street window, and the tags follow the overhead.
Who picked it
Julie didn't come from fashion
She came from hospitality, years of tasting rooms and front-of-house, and she opened the shed because she wanted to stop working for somebody else. 2026 was the first season. The buying trip, the rail and everything on it are hers.
Came for lunch, bought mustard, left with a dress.
Come and find it
You were probably coming out this way anyway
The shed shares its property with Krusty Mustard Co., who make small-batch mustard and serve lunch on site, so most people are already parked by the time they see it. There's an apple orchard on one side and the water past the road, and red chairs out front if you'd rather sit while somebody else tries things on.

Frequently asked questions
Where exactly is the shop?
2983 County Road 8 in Waupoos, on the same property as Krusty Mustard Co. Look for the small white shed with the reed pergola and the red chairs out front.
When are you open?
Wednesday 11:30 to 8, later when there's music on. Thursday and Friday 11:30 to 5. Saturday and Sunday 11:30 to 4:30. Closed Tuesdays. The season runs weekends through April when the weather allows, then daily from the May long weekend until around Thanksgiving.
Is everything new?
Yes. Every piece is brand new and imported directly from Italy with its tags still on. Nothing in the shed is consignment or second-hand.
Why is there only one of the thing I want?
Julie brings back two or three of any one style and splits those across three colours. It keeps the rail from turning into a wall of the same dress, and it means you're unlikely to meet your own outfit somewhere else in the county.
Can I buy online?
Not at the moment. The stock is ordered once a year and there's very little of each piece, so the shed is the only place to see it. The list below is where opening weekend and new arrivals get announced.
