Melbourne based designer Virginia Martin embodies the grace and natural beauty of the seaside as seen through the eyes of its creator. It’s colour, beauty and mood are expressed with playfulness and sophistication, understatement and individuality. 
búl conjures memories of warm sand and glassy morning swells, weathered beach houses and golden sun-kissed skin with an assortment of timeless softly tailored separates, cosy knitwear, rich leathers and an accomplished accessories range in natural shades and subtle prints for men and women. 
Virginia brings a wealth of charm and experience to her collections having worked overseas for some of the most notable fashion houses in the industry including Proenza Schouler, Cynthia Rowley, Heatherette and Trovata and is garnering much interest on the Australian fashion scene with the likes of Vogue, Russh and Harpers Bizarre as a young designer on the rise.
