Dinosaur Designs

HANDMADE WITH LOVE FROM AUSTRALIA
I first heard of Dinosaur Designs when I was in fashion school, 6 years back. We were holding an end of year fashion show combined with the Miss Australia Launch. I remember that so many of us were frantic about where to find fabulous accessories to really lend our designs, styling and models that edge that was needed to really put together our pieces successfully. In comes the Italian with a box filled with glorious treasures. Treasures that I assure you, at that time and still are, very unique (not to mention pricey for a rock). He gloated over how they were from Dinosaur Designs, a little Sydney based company that had just stepped onto the fashion market. I didn't end up using these pieces. Not because I didn't want to, but because they were appropriate for my mini collection AND the fact the other students got greedy and hoarded them in for their own personal use. Too bad for them, they had to be returned ;) END STORY. END RANT.
All I can say, is that they are unique, and they installations are just so colourful and are a joy to look at. Although I wouldn't spruce up the interior of my home with all Dinosaur pieces, I would definitely accent and compliment parts of my home with their homewares and textiles. If they made pieces (namely bangles) small enough for me to fit, I would definitely wear them when my outfit and style calls for it. Perhaps I'll ask to be made custom pieces. I'm not one to really buy or wear fashion jewellery, but this is one that I would make the exception for. 
So the question that I pose here is, should I work here as a National Visual Merchandise Manager, or what? Creativity has no limitations here. Very tempting.

P.S. They are also ECO friendly and environmentally aware :)
