Usethings
If it is not useful or necessary, free yourself from imagining that you need it…*Read More
Ron’s newest stockist is a little different. The store stocks products that are part of a Shaker Philosophy (above). Usethings in Castlemaine is a store where you won’t be asked “do you want fries with that?” but possibly rather “do you really want those fries?” (if in fact, they did sell fries).
Tim and Deb wrestle over the question of what products are really, truly useful – not just right now, but far into the future of that products life.
Ron is very proud to be represented in their collection.
Usethings is located at 8 Templeton St, Castlemaine
