This About Us starts with “WE at Drift” because Drift isn’t just the “I” that owns this lovely little grass floored, relaxed and comforting beach store.

​

It’s the team we have working here to make everyone that comes in the door feel like a friend, and it’s the Drifters that ease on in to make Drift what it is today.  The happy chatter between friends that run into each other or the uplifting compliments or comments that are thrown around by total strangers to each other.

​

There are funny stories, personal challenges, milestones and just general chatter that carries on all through the day.  This brings laughter and sometimes tears.  The empathy that strangers show each other here daily blows us away.

​

This along with our OLD FASHIONED CUSTOMER SERVICE make us very unique in this day and age. Whether you see my children who will and are totally capable of assisting you, my Mum, who is the most adorable and loved person in the whole community, one of our tight knit team or myself, we can guarantee you if you step into Drift, you will remember us.

OUR mission here is to make everyone feel special and totally at home.

​

No matter if your 5 years old and looking for a special gift for your friend, a dude looking for that something unique for your significant other, a teen looking for that perfect swimsuit, a lady looking for yourself, or a Grandma looking for something that makes you feel great and look like you feel, not how old you are, DRIFT is where you should be.

​

I, Sharyn, started this business in 2013, to have a sea change from Brissy and show my very young children then that there is more to life than the bump n grind of a 9-5 job and that you can follow a dream and if you work hard, it can become a reality.

​

It’s very true, however, that no matter how old you are, you will never go a day without learning something.

​

I must admit there are days that I say, “I’m ok if I don’t I learn something today,” BUT that usually isn’t the case, there’s always more to learn.

​

I feel if I am in control of every facet of Drift and keep my finger on the pulse, then I will forever keep that fun family feel WE have here.

 

In 2022 I decided I was missing something in my work life and decided pretty quickly that it was time to get back to my roots and my absolute passion.  Design and manufacturing. 

 

Entre, Reet Petite, my fun funky effortless fashion for the petite and others too.   In sizes xxs-xl in linens and rayons.

​

AND Brodes & Co, my sweet, summery and a little sassy swimwear label.  I use lycra made from water bottles and my range is made to cover all the pieces that should be covered and at an affordable price.  I designed all the prints, choose the colours, design the styling, then take it to manufacture using a beautiful family business in Indonesia. Brodes & Co ranges from sizes 6-16 and is forever growing.

​

Drift’s number 1, is Gaga.  My Mum.  For those that have visited us here, you will be sure to know her.  She works here more than she doesn’t because she loves it so much. It keeps her in touch with people, the community and keeps her busy.

 

There are people and children alike that visit here just to see Mum.  They come in for a chat or a cuddle or a sharing of something that has happened to them, good or bad, sometimes they even come in for her honest feedback when looking for that special something.  She is the hand sewing queen and Gaga handknits ALL of Drifts beanies, scarves and most shawls and wraps for Drift.  GAKNITS is her little label and she starts knitting in September for the following Winter.

​

I put my heart and soul into these two little places of mine and there isn’t much I wouldn’t do to keep it fresh, fun and a great place to visit.

​

Being the small business that we are, it’s all about making things easy for everyone, that’s my customers, team and myself.  So, please don’t hesitate to shoot us an email or call if there is anything we can help with, facetiming a shop or sending images, anyway we can help we will and we are happy to send a parcel to you. 

​

Lastly, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me your time to visit us at Drift Clothing and Gifts online, and I hope we will see you again and again.

​

But, remember, when in town, please drop in and see us.

Sharyn
