Sydney Creative People: Cured Manly

Sydney Creative People: Cured Manly

What do you get when you mix an architect with a hospitality expert?? Well, the answer lies within the walls of Cured in Manly, a beautiful little establishment that specialises in wine, cheese and cured meats.

They say simplicity is confidence, and in the case of this business, I'd say that's bang on the money. Cured opened its doors just under a year ago, and it didn't take long for us to stumble across it (as you do when you live in Manly... almost NOTHING goes unnoticed here). The thing that excited us about it is that it's completely different to anything else in town. Their vision is so strong, clear and uncompromising, and that's a beautiful thing to see.

Hillbilly Cider is a lesson in simplicity: simplicity in packaging, simplicity in product, and simplicity in brand story. The people behind this brand are Shane and Tessa McLaughlin. Shane is a winemaker who, after a move to Bilpin – the land of the apple – decided to have a go at making cider. They started Hillbilly cider about three years ago, and they've won awards each year since launching. This is their inspiring story.
