Our Founder
About Kim Manfield - Collector, Creator & Curator of Treasures
Treasure Store is a boutique fashion concept brought to life by Kim Manfield - a lifelong lover of style, individuality, and beautiful craftsmanship.
The daughter of a seamstress, Kim grew up surrounded by fabric, creativity, and the quiet magic of garment making. Some of her fondest memories are of sitting beside her mother’s sewing machine, learning about quality fabrics, thoughtful construction, and the care that goes into creating something truly special.
Over the past 40 years, Kim has built a rich and diverse career in the fashion industry. Her experience spans sales, buying, planning, product design and development, textiles, wholesale, and owning her own retail boutiques across New South Wales and Queensland. Throughout this journey, she has worked closely with women from all walks of life - hearing their stories, celebrating their individuality, and watching them step into their confidence through the way they dress.
Yet over time, Kim watched the industry she loves shift dramatically. The rise of globally homogenised fast fashion - low quality, high turnover, and disposable design - stood in stark contrast to everything she believed clothing should represent.
For Kim, fashion has always been about something deeper.
Some of her most treasured memories are of hunting down unique garments and accessories for her children so they could express their own individuality, and wandering through small independent boutiques and vintage stores in search of exquisite pieces to add to her personal collection.
Because to Kim, style should never feel predictable.
“To me there is nothing worse than everyone knowing where you got your outfit from. How boring! Everything moves so fast today, and people don’t know what their personal style is because they’re being sold rubbish fast fashion that falls apart after one wash.
Style unfolds over time, by collecting and treasuring items you truly love. That’s what Treasure Store is - a place to discover unique, high quality and colourful garments that help you feel most like you.”
To Kim, a treasure is something that captivates you - a design, a print, or a fabric that sparks a feeling and perhaps even awakens a longing for the person you want to become.
She believes the way we choose to dress is a powerful form of self-expression, influencing how we feel about ourselves and how we move through the world.
Treasure Store was created as a place where women can discover those treasures - and, in the process, treasure themselves.
Garments
Our collections feature a diverse range of silhouettes, fabrics and fits. As sizing can vary between styles, we recommend carefully reviewing the fit notes and garment measurements provided on each product page. These measurements are specific to the individual design to help you find your ideal fit.
If you're unsure about sizing or would like personalised guidance, our customer care team is always happy to assist - please contact us at info@treasurestore.com.au for tailored sizing advice.
We proudly maintain long-standing partnerships with trusted manufacturers around the world, including Italy, India, China and beyond.
For complete transparency, the country of origin for each garment is thoughtfully detailed on its individual product page and garment care label.
We prioritise natural fibres wherever possible, with a strong focus on breathable linen and cotton at the heart of our collections. Select pieces also incorporate silk, rayon, polyester or refined blends to achieve a specific drape, structure or silhouette. The fabric composition of our garments are listed on each product page for complete transparency.
Thoughtful care will extend the life of your garment and maintain its quality over time.
We have provided care instructions on each individual product page to assist.
If you have any additional questions about caring for your garment, feel free to reach out to our customer care team at info@treasurestore.com.au - who are always happy to help.
