Retail Store Manager - Brisbane

VRG GRL creates looks you won’t see on every second person... because you’re not every second person. Born from the minds of two sisters with distinct styles, our pieces balance bold expression with intentional design. Defined by thoughtful silhouettes designed to fit with ease, hand-painted prints and fabrics, and confident use of colour. Everything we make is exclusive to us, dreamed up in-house and obsessively refined by our design team. Trend chasing sounds tiring. We prefer to create.
