Emporium Melbourne: A new home for HoMie

Emporium Melbourne: A new home for HoMie

This October, our much-loved streetwear label and non-profit is opening a second store!

While our flagship shop in Fitzroy continues to thrive, we’re doubling down and bringing HoMie back to where it all began - in Melbourne’s CBD - with a brand-new, 180 sqm store in Emporium.

We’re banding together with Renascent, Six Degrees, Emporium, Yeah Good and a raft of other generous people donating their time and resources to help bring HoMie’s new store to life.

This large, double-fronted store in the heart of Melbourne will be the home of our brand new social impact program - Retail Ready.

Ready Ready is a 10-week work-readiness program for young people affected by homelessness or hardship which will provide meaningful, Award-wage employment for up to 48 young people each year.

At HoMie, we know we can’t combat youth homelessness alone. It takes an all-of-community approach - and this new store is no exception.

This project exemplifies what HoMie is all about: A community coming together to back young people and create meaningful pathways out of homelessness.

Together we’re creating an aspirational retail environment for our young people to hone their skills and a destination shopping experience for our customers - with 100% of profits going back to support HoMie’s work.

Stay tuned for construction updates - we’re planning to open in late October!

We’d like to extend a huge thank you to all involved:
