Brand new Williamstown interiors store – The Assembly Hall
The Assembly Hall
How gorgeous is new little store in Williamstown!? The Assembly Hall has been open just 3 weeks, and stocks a great variety of vibrant, eclectic homewares, textiles, fashion and accessories sourced throughout India, Indonesia and of course locally too!
Not surprisingly, co-owners Sami Moiler and Jess Bettenay have an impressive list of creative credentials – Sami as an interiors stylist for 8+ years, working for magazines including Real Living and Home Beautiful, and Jess in fashion working as brand manager for Trelise Cooper. Their brand new shop has been a labour of love for this super creative pair, who have spent many months sourcing product and renovating the store interior with their own bare hands! :)
Nice one ladies…! A great excuse to cross the bridge!

I think I need to go to Williamstown. Stat.
Thanks for the intro, it look great …. we are planning a trip to Melbourne in the next few weeks, I shall call in for a peak !!!
Oh good! Haven’t been to Williamstown for a while, but this gives me a very good reason to plan an excursion over the bridge as you say!
Thanks for letting us know :)
It’s a beautiful shop, uplifting and very inviting. I almost spontaniously bought a divine $250 patchwork rug – but I thought it was best to go home and think about it. Damn. I live in Williamstown…it’s nice to see this post here.
I visited the store yesterday and it is divine!
SO many lovely treats and so beautifully decked out, really classy.
The girls are lovely too.
Cheers Lucy
