About PechaKucha:
PechaKucha Nights are informal and fun gatherings where people get together and share their ideas, works, thoughts, passions, quirky collections and just about anything else. The key to PechaKucha is its simple presentation format: you show 20 slides for 20 seconds each. The slides are forwarded automatically, keeping presentations short, snappy and fun.
Why is Cikolata so special? Because everything is made with love and TLC by creater Sachiyo Oishi. After studing in London, Oishi returned to Tokyo to form her own company Every Monday, and from there she established Cikolata, specialising is the cutest handmade plush toys and quirky fashion accessories.
All plush toys are now available at our Surry Hills flagship store while VA Select at The Galeries stocks both the plush toys range as well as fashion accessories. More will be available online shortly.

From Thursday 10 June, Japanese-based label Design Tshirt Store graniph (aka graniph) will add some colour and fun to the VA Attic at Via Alley Surry Hills. With a full-fledged store in the centre of Sydney, graniph brings to Surry Hills a sense of its beginnings in a petite 12m2 space which reminisces its humble start in Shimokitazawa in Tokyo. Decked out with astro turf and distinct graniph furniture, VA Attic has totally transformed its appearance and looks foward to welcoming lovers of Japanese fashion to experience the graniph difference; fun, colour, quality at great prices!
Best of all, as part of the popup launch, there are some limited Ricky Powell x graniph collaboration tees up for sale. A New York based photographer, Ricky became known as Def Jam’s unofficial chronicler after casually shooting photographs on the Licence to Ill and Check Your Head tour. Dubbed as the ‘fourth Beastie Boy’, Powell aims to bring ‘the old school back’ with a set of 3 photo tees. Take your pick from hip-hop icon DMC of Run DMC, the legendary Beastie Boys trio or both!
You will also find that graniph boasts a good range of fashion pieces such as cardigans, hoodies and jackets - the perfect ensemble to complement any graniph Tshirt.
The graniph popup store at VA Attic will also see a weekly drop of new designs so be sure to check it out during its stay from 10 June to 8 August. At 1 tee for $40 and 2 for $70, graniph popup is not to be missed!
