Ashley Feraude in conversation with Gabe Trew who is behind the iconic Canberra shop POP.

After being deeply involved in the music scene, Gabe changed directions and developed a vision for a store that, on the one hand, presents locally-made products and, on the other hand, celebrates the unique and quirky nature of Canberra. Within a few years, Gabe brought that vision to life and now supports the local community and builds local pride via his POP Canberra store.

With new developments on the horizon in the digital space, POP is set on a path of evolution that will bring even more contributions to local makers and connect them with bigger audiences.
