Sparking Regional Joy
Meet Pip Brett from JUMBLED
Special guest Pip Brett, owner and founder of JUMBLED, joins us today to spark some regional joy.
Since its beginnings in 2013, JUMBLED has grown to be known by every fun-loving, colour craving homewares junkie around; both in store and online. Pip’s beginning days in business with her fashion store, IGLOU, led her to grow, and ultimately merge her brands to become a one-stop shop for all things fun!
Growing up in Orange, as a young girl, Pip watched, learned and drew deep inspiration from her Mum, Kezz Brett, as she ran her own clothing store for 25 years. Pip’s natural progression was to study fashion at university, but she knew by the end of her four-year degree she did not want to be a designer, but wanted to own her own store.
In 2019, JUMBLED was recognised during the International Home and Housewares Show in Chicago at the Global Innovation Awards (GIA) for Excellence in Retail. It was this recognition that made Pip aware of the true positive influence regional Australia can have on its businesses.
With no plans to expand stores, Pip has a list of love-to-dos to continue to challenge and inspire her. Keep your ear to the ground for more Affordable Art Fairs in new areas, for new JUMBLED brand products, new artists, a new accommodation option in Molong with the transformation of the old Commonwealth bank, and even a new JUMBLED gin to put on your Friday drinks menu!
With such a busy to-do list, Pip’s main aspiration for business expansion is in supporting other women in business with such events as The Huddle.
Pip has created a successful, vibrant, bright and beautiful business that’s enjoyable for everyone to be in and to visit. And how has she done it?
Determination, resilience and generosity in her joy.
