Masks are now mandatory across Melbourne (and soon across all of Victoria) so every man and their dog is on the hunt for a mask that doesn’t 1) suck, and 2) annoy the living crap out of you. Thankfully Melbourne coffee roasters and all-round good guys St Ali have come up with a solution.
Firstly St Ali launched its St Ali hand sanitiser, which was made from 75 per cent alcohol in line with the World Health Organisation recommendations. Then the venue transformed into a general store, selling vac-sealed meals, Ned’s Bake sourdough and, of course, bags of its roasted coffee (an essential during iso). That transformation even earned St Ali a coveted nomination in the inaugural Time In Awards.
Now, the team is keen to equip Melburnians with another essential: face masks. St Ali is now selling face masks and snoods made from copper and hemp which is then woven together using a 3D printer (well, actually, it’s a 3D knitter – fancy!) They’re comfy and sustainable, considering you’ll be able to wash them over and over again. St Ali is also looking out for the discerning little ones in our lives with a sartorial children's mask range.
They, obviously, come in that perfect shade of Melbourne Black, so they’ll go with everything and you can ooze city pride at the supermarket.
