Who is Remedy?

For more than two decades we've sourced socially and environmentally kind creations, ethically produced to make the every day more satisfying for you and sustainable for all.

THE SHORT VERSION

Buy once, buy well.

Objects you’re excited to gift to others, or keep for yourself.

Emergence of beauty and practicality.

Products created from a respectful environment for a sustainable future.

We wanted to showcase the work of local artists by providing wall and window space. An ongoing exhibition inside. A footpath gallery outside.

Participate with us in the ‘slow consumption movement’; wander through, inhale, enjoy…

THE LONGER VERSION

In 2002 we opened our doors in a small shopfront in a 'locals' area of Wray Avenue, Fremantle. We wanted to sell ‘beautiful creations’ that were designed and made by talented folk, predominantly Australian. We wanted to find everyday use items that were low impact on the planet, and the people making them. 

In 2004 we moved onto High Street, Fremantle to a larger premise in the heart of Fremantle.

2008 saw us opening both our Online store and Leederville store, on the northern fringes of urban Perth where graffiti and grunge are embraced.

Our windows have always been a creative outlet for us. We've featured many incredible artists including Fleur Schell, Maxxi May, Georgia Zoric and Stormie Mills.

We've also utilised our busy locations to make social and political  statements about topics like war and religion with John Harrison. A more recent window was our YES! for Marriage Equality window. In 2023 we will have our YES! to Voice For Parliament window. 

We have always welcomed everyone to our stores, that's what true community and society is.  

In 2020 we started Just Cause, a social enterprise to raise awareness of family and domestic violence, with Patricia Giles Centre for Non-Violence. With a lot of help from some beautiful friends we made something special happen.

We hope this gives you a greater understanding of who we are and what we represent. Thanks for joining us on the ride.
