chibi & esmé is a creative space for curious folk to come together

By Juliette Salom

Step into a cocoon of wonder and awe.

If you’ve been lacking a good ol' dash of the warm and fuzzies lately, Chibi & Esmé might just fix you right up. The library, press and bookstore in Melbourne/Naarm’s Brunswick is a haven of creativity, education, authenticity and care. Part retail space, part workshop space, Chibi & Esmé is like your favourite comfy nook at the local library – although the bits and bobs you’ll discover here the kind you won't find anywhere else.

From rare international zines to hand-bound books, Chibi & Esmé is home to a collection of reads that would rival any coffee table. Mostly, though, this welcoming space is a hub for like-minded people to congregate and create. If you’re in the area, you can pop by Chibi & Esmé on the weekends – otherwise, they have a range of ripper prints to peruse on their website here.
