BEHIND THE BRAND: POPPY’S LITTLE TREASURES
Today we chat to sisters Naomi and Tenille who are both owners of the stylish kids decor store, Poppy’s Little Treasures.
Noami is the behind the scenes girl who does everything from website design to marketing and ordering. Tenille is the face of the bricks and mortar Poppy’s Little Treasures store in Penrith which she manages. There is nothing we love more at Minty than seeing strong, amazing mumma’s turn their hard work and passion into a business.
BEHIND THE BRAND: PIP + LENNY
Minty Magazine is proud to support small businesses like Pip + Lenny who possess a passion for sustainable fashion. Today, we had the opportunity to chat to Bec and Justine who are the co-owners of the uber stylish and ethical brand.
Their attention to detail and quality in all of their products is astounding. We promise you will absolutely love their beautiful and minimal designs!

BEHIND THE BRAND: BILLIE THE KID
If you’re anything like me and Jayni Assirati, owner of Billie the Kid then you essentially own a wardrobe consisting of only black and white. Billie the Kid launched in 2015 when Jayni, an entrepreneurial mum of 2 boys had struck gold on a business idea.
Their style is iconic and the brand runs a killer Instagram account with content you’ll fall in love with. Their trucker hats and bags are great for gifts or just when you feel like spoiling a little loved one in your life.
TRENDING: AUSTRALIANA
So what exactly is this new trend ‘Australiana’? Well… It’s the beautiful natural colour schemes of the Australian landscape paired with iconic designs and elements that remind you of home. Minty Magazine is a huge supporter of Australian small businesses and we think this weeks #trending post proves why!
