I’m a Melbourne girl, I wear black - it’s an unwritten law if you live here. But I’ve always accessorised with colour, a great necklace or earrings, a fabulous scarf in Winter, I’ve even got shoes in cool colours but gorgeous handbags in styles that I loved weren’t as easy to come by. Sure, there was plenty out there but nothing that appealed to all of my style and price needs.
One day, out of sheer frustration, I pulled apart one of my store-bought handbags to see how it was made - and then taught myself to sew! I still have my first creation from 1999, a collaborative effort with my sister, made from vintage fabric our grandmother bought decades ago. That first little bag was a rather dodgy effort but it still managed to attract compliments from those standing far enough away from the less-than-perfect stitching. And that’s when Meringue was born.

"Have you ever wondered about Australia? And what Aussies are like? And what do they eat? Are they funny? Do they look different from us, here in the USA? Who teaches them to spell? And the talking thing? Do they all sound like the Crocodile Hunter? Can you ride a kangaroo? Ever tried to pet a wombat? Why would anyone eat Vegemite? Can you have a diet of nothing but Tim Tams and survive? Do their toilets flush backwards? Why don't they fall off the planet? Can they make more good movies like "Muriel's Wedding?""

"Meringue helps me tackle that "not so fresh feeling" with style and grace while also giving me great protection. With Meringue, I can go swimming, horseback riding and windsurfing knowing that Meringue is giving me the protection--and comfort--that I need. I'll never go anywhere without my Meringue!"

"Is there anything better than Meringue? No! There is nothing better than the truly delicious gal I call "Pie". This wickedly witty woman that is as funny as she is talented and I'm proud to know her and own some of her creations. She's the best!
