Homepage Testimonials

Literally my favourite store in Melbourne. I love the support to female and queer creators, and the items they sell are gorgeous. This place is my first thought whenever I want to buy a gift, and the staff are super friendly and helpful.

Daniela QVWC SHOP customer

I was fascinated by the location in the heart of the city and, more importantly, that it had a profound meaning for me as a woman who creates art that reflects a patriarchal society. I feel proud to be able to express my voice through art in such an influential place.

Exhibition Artist

It was incredible to be able to create in a safe space surrounded by so many inspiring women. I felt supported every step of the way and I am so thankful to the Centre and the staff for their encouragement and help.
