The pineapple is a symbol of warmth & welcome, but The Pineapples Collection also represents bravery, positivity and resilience.

Whilst Alex was on a leadership gathering in the British Virgin Islands, one of the sessions was spent hearing of the challenges facing local domestic violence survivors.

The group committed to supporting the community through fulfilling their greatest need – funding a shelter to provide refuge to those escaping domestic violence.

On the lengthy trip back to Melbourne, I thought long and hard about how I could contribute. And it was there and then (in Texas to be precise!), that I designed The Pineapples.

This collection of statement earrings,  fine chain and leather bracelets raises both awareness and funds - $50 from every Pineapple piece sold, is pledged towards the building of the shelter to provide a place of welcome and warmth for survivors.
