Until late in the 20th century, retail shops were most often family affairs in which most, if not all, the employees were family members. Nick TSINGOS founded the tailoring business, Elegant Slax, in Bay Street where he employed his wife Desi and later also his son George. In this photo of the workroom, Nick is seated at his tailor's bench with Desi standing behind him. The tailoring of men's 'made to measure' clothing took place in the workroom behind the retail shop. The original photograph was taken as part of the "Postcards from Port' project. This copy was used in a display at Emerald Hill Centre in May 2026.Copy of a coloured photograph of Nick TSINGOS & his wife Desi in the tailoring workroom at their shop, Elegant Slax, in Bay Street, Port Melbourne.nick tsingos, desi tsingos, elegant slax, business & traders -tailors/clothing, built environment -commercial

This is a coat hanger made in Germany for the Warrnambool firm of Cramond and Dickson. John Cramond and James Dickson opened a general store in Warrnambool in 1856, selling men’s and women’s clothing, drapery and manchester and it had its own tailoring and millinery business. This store became a prominent one in Warrnambool for over 100 years, closing in 1973. The business operated for most of this time at the corner of Timor and Liebig Streets. This coat hanger is of great interest as a memento of the business of Cramond and Dickson, one of the most important businesses in Warrnambool’s history.This is a wooden coat hanger with a metal hook inserted in the centre of the hanger. The wood has been smoothed and stained to a light brown colour. The wood is curved and the ends are slightly tapered. The hook has a round stud at the bottom to prevent the hook from coming out of the hole. The hook is somewhat rusted. The printing on the hanger is in black.‘Cramond & Dickson Tailors & Outfitters Warrnambool Made in Germany’.cramond and dickson,, warrnambool, history of warrnambool
