I've come across a wea bit of exciting news about the much loved Glomesh brand. But first, a short history lesson...
According to the official facebook page, Glomesh was founded in 1958 by Louis and Alice Kennedy, Hungarian immigrants who migrated from Israel to Australia with their two children in 1957. The Glomesh factory was first established under the company, Camel, in Sydney's Bondi Junction and shortly moved to St Peters where the distinctive metal mesh was produced in golds, silvers and jewel tones including maroon and navy. Glomesh is perhaps best known as a vintage label available only through op shops and other secondhand means... until now (this is the exciting part!).

In Winter 2012, Glomesh is being re-launched under the guidance of Louis and Alice Kennedy's grandson, Daniel Goldberg. Although it's all very hush hush at this stage, the word from Daniel is that 'the collection will encapsulate the same glamour and romance that it did back in the day...'
