Wen & Ware Living

This is an opportunity for a student to attend Wen & Ware Living for SWL or Work Experience Placement throughout the school term on a case by case basis.

Opened in 2002 Wen & Ware Living hoped to provide a serene shopping experience. 18 years later Wen & Ware offers a sanctuary for the senses with unique homewares and gifts sourced from around the world. Family owned and run the business has expanded over the past year to include lifestyle clothing and an espresso bar full of fresh food ideas, and has since also opened stores in Malvern, and most recently, Geelong West.

Wendy, Andrew and Prue together seek pieces from around the world to create a peaceful quality of energy through a person’s home. Our selections are made with an open heart as they journey to India, Bali, Manila, and through Asia. At Wen & Ware Living we offer a beautiful simplicity and we believe it should be available to everyone. We invite you to enjoy the experience.
