OUR mission statement

MADE ON THE LEFT was founded in 2008 by independent designers to support Western Australian creative talent. We hold bi-annual handmade craft markets to showcase local designers.

Being on the left hand side of Australia no longer

means you'll be at a disadvantage.

Our aim is to support all creative designers and events showcasing independent labels. MOTL is a not-for-profit, non-partisan organisation. You may wonder why we promote other markets besides MOTL; it’s because it’s not about us, its about you; the buyers and sellers of indie wares. Here at the blog, you’ll discover up to date information about our latest market, the low-down on some of Perth’s emerging talents, other opportunities for artists and designers and a little bit of fun stuff too. It’s all right here… welcome!

Mount Lawley – Ruck Rover


If you’re in Mount Lawley you simply must visit Ruck Rover. It’s cool, fresh and has a terrific relaxed atmosphere. Inside you’ll find clothes for men, women and babies too as well as bags, purses, jewellery and plenty more (everything I saw was screaming ‘buy me, buy me’). Ruck Rover stock independent designers from all around the world, most you won’t find anywhere else in Perth. Browse the racks and you’ll find terrific labels like Princess Tina, Moe Moe, Limedrop and Dylan Matorell and they’re always on the lookout for fresh talent for the shop.



Owned and operated by two sisters, Claire and Isabelle the shop really feels calm and hassle-free. Their aim is to create the ideal retail environment where customers are welcome to stop by to purchase something or even just chill out on the couch and type something on the typewriter. You won’t get blasted by dodgy techno music once inside as they only play music they personally listen to and it’s at a level conductive to conversation.


Claire and Isabelle are dedicated to bringing the work of unique and creative artists and designers from all over the world into the shop. They are constantly getting in new stock so come by often so you don’t miss a thing. There are new labels heading for the shelves in time for Christmas and an online store in the works so no matter where you are you can always get your Ruck Rover fix.
Shop 4, 595 Beaufort St (cnr Chelmsford Rd)
