Our Story

Meet The Eggplant & Poppy Super Models

Emma

Co-Boss Lady

Introducing Emma or as she's affectionately known by us as Glenda in Finance.

Emma/Glenda is the financial guru behind Eggplant & Poppy. Budgets and bookwork, accounts and invoices are all covered by this legend. Coming from a crafty background - earrings, artwork, hilarious cards & pretty much everything handmade comes from the brains of Emma.

Other than being co-owner, creator and budgeting brains Emma is also the one to eat all the chocolate, make you laugh uncontrollably, cook shit meals, hoard cardboard boxes and half finish jobs.

Kirsty

Co-Boss Lady

Meet Kirsty or Tiffany in IT as we know her here at E&P.

Kirsty is the stock ordering wizz, spending countless hours sourcing the awesome goods we sell. As well as being attached to the computer everyday finding the quirkiest, gorgeous and unique products she also is the website, social media, photography & technology extraordinaire.

On more than one occasion Kirsty has been known to over order linen, crystals and books which can occasionally end up in her home. When co-owner Kirsty manages to break free from the Mac she rearranges the crystals, restocks the E&P grog cupboard, sneaks out of the store to buy records and plants and throws out Emma's stash of cardboard boxes

Jess

SALES ASSISTANT fairy

Jess has been one of our OG customers for years & we are so thrilled to have her on board with us now. She is such a breath of fresh air & so fun!

She is addicted to organising the earring wall, keeping it well stocked and in order. You'll also find her on the shop floor having a chat & ready to help you find what you need.

Jess loves hanging at the beach with her 3 gorgeous kids & hubby but when she isn't relaxing you'll find her with a hammer, paint brush or some other tool while renovating her house to excessively loud hip hop music.

She is also a self confessed Bubble Tea Connoisseur.

Larissa

FIFO (FLIT-IN, FLIT-OUT)
MERCHANDISING EXTRAORDINAIRE

Larissa - as you'd expect she too has a nickname.

We call her Pissa! Not because of her age and impending incontinence but because it's the only thing we could think of that rhymed with Larissa.

Larissa has many roles here at E&P. She is a habitual rearranger, moving stock and re merchandising almost every day. When new stock arrives somehow Larissa manages to unpack, price and find a home for it. She is the one you'll find when you first walk in, usually chatting to customers, finding their ideal gift or finishing Emma's uncompleted jobs.

Did we mention she's usually chatting? She is also obsessed with lists and having everything organised. Are our earrings and books colour coded, yes they sure are. 

Deb

IT & MARKETING GURU

Oprah of e+p's IT Dept, marketing wiz, didn't get the memo to wear black.

Deb joined e+p to help Kirsty to not drown in computer land. She is the mastermind behind newsletter marketing & not making spelling mistakes like we used to.

Deb is the walking, talking calendar that keeps everyone organised & prepped ahead of time.

Apart from being our marketing & IT Guru, Deb loves travelling the globe & hanging out with her husbo & super dog Humphrey.
