I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this shop. I also LOVE LOVE LOVE Leanne and Trent. They are always so helpful and patient with me. I go into this wonderful shop and dribble on everything as I want it all!!! I particularly love the magnificent military trunks. I cannot recommend this store more highly. Do yourself a favour and go there YOU WONT REGRET IT!!

Incredibly rude woman working at Quintessential Duck egg Blue today. i don't know if it was the owner Leanne but whoever it was could not have been more unfriendly or unhelpful. We mentioned that we had just come from the fabulously eclectic and friendly Lunatiques Warehouse in Mascot whom she immediately accused of selling rubbish. She may have a few 'special' pieces in her tiny shop but there is no need whatsoever to crtiticise other places selling a far wider variety of vintage pieces.to a very appreciative public. Anyone who wants a miniature sailing ship on the other hand....no doubt overpriced

I have been going to Duck Egg Blue and Quintessential DEB, for many years. I absolutely love what the stores has to offer. I shop in the clothing stores regularly. Leanne and her team know exactly what I love to buy and always keep me posted on what is new, what is coming to the store. Equally the same, her Furniture store, is simply unique, and every year when her shipment comes, I find something I love.
Absolutely love both stores, amazing service and shopping experience.
I always recommend both stores to all my friends.

Would find myself spending hours in the store, losing time, talking to either Trent or Leanne about the products curated instore, admiring their knowledge and passion and always grateful for the ideas and honesty they would give in assisting with purchases for my home.
I have found myself with many many items sourced by Quintessential - and in fact privileged enough to have acquired pieces from Leanne's personal collection for my home.
After living in Sydney for many years l have found myself back in Melbourne and missing my frequent visits to the store
