Due to launch in early November 2012, ‘The quintessential Magazine’ is the fifth member of the duckeggBLUE brand, along with the much loved fashion and furniture stores in Sydney's Balmain and websites duckeggblue.com.au and quintessentialduckeggblue.com.au – which ensure everything in store is also quintessentially available on line.
