The Staple Store is one of Melbourne’s best kept secrets.

You can find this humble, hidden gem in leafy Ripponlea which was born out of clinical naturopath Catie Gett’s love for food, health and her desire to empower people to own their wellness. The best part is that Catie has made her products accessible with something for everyone and all budgets.
