Boutique Manager

Australian born, and locally produced in Sydney, BEC + BRIDGE is a brand grounded in the daily celebration of style, strength and confidence.

After 21 years in business together, the pair behind BEC + BRIDGE have never felt more inspired by what the brand is creating in the Australian fashion industry and, more excitingly still, how Australian design is infiltrating the global market. As women in business, and more specifically, women in the business of fashion, creating a brand that inspires a broad demographic of customers - women of all ages - has become increasingly important to Cooper and Yorston. The designers maintain that the brand, at its very core, must grow with them to ensure it maintains a relevance to where they are in their respective lives.
- “We love how diverse the BEC + BRIDGE women are - we always want to celebrate this. The BEC + BRIDGE woman is fun, and spirited. She wants to feel confident and modern. Making women feel this way has always been incredibly important to us.”_
