Raife Surf Wear Lifestyle Store, on the old servo site next to Kiitos Barwon Heads







At Kiitos Living by Design we are pleased and exited that we will soon have a new neighbour, Surf Brand, "Raife".
We wonder, is the iconic,old servo site destined to become  the new hip, Barwon Heads, shopping precinct? Organic Fresh Foods anyone ? "Jo's Organic Delights" will also be joining us , we will blog about that soon.
Below is a little about the brand that we found on the Raife web site
RAIFE is nostalgic for the Australian sunny days of youth with a keen design eye to the future. RAIFE is a search for something
better - better surf, better board shorts, better days.

RAIFE produces designer hand made men's board shorts and accessories for the Australian beach, designed in-house, and produced
by selected artisans from across the globe. RAIFE set out to produce a fine pair of board shorts, to surf in the morning and then wear
to lunch in the afternoon. Inspired by the majesty in nature, the RAIFE line, sits well in designer boutiques and boutique surf stores.

RAIFE is the creation of Hamish Cameron. Hamish is a waterman from way back, an Australian surf swimming champion, Hamish
purchased his first single fin surf board in Torquay in 1979. Most recently Hamish has been designing high tech race suits for
the swim brand Engine.
 
Work in progress , Raife Store Bridge Rd, Barwon Heads. We think this space will be delightful when completed. Raife is expecting to be trading by the 1st week in December.
