Queer business

WITH A FROSTY WINTER AFOOT, IT’S TIME TO GET OUT AND ABOUT. I’M HIGHLIGHTING THREE LOCAL QUEER BUSINESSES TO VISIT ON YOUR TRAVELS.

Hairy Legs Cafe

Found in the Mayfair Plaza Sandy Bay, this cafe is a great place to grab a cup of coffee and also pay it forward! If you’d like to pay a coffee forward to someone in need, Hairy Legs has a board for keeping track of orders for those who might be in a pinch for coffee. Definitely needed this winter.

Fiori Florist

Right next door to Hairy Legs is Fiori Florist – owned and run by Jax Erwin. While winter might not seem like the best time to get flowers, it’s a good way to bring a bit of the warmer months into our lives.

Red Parka

Tucked away on Criterion Street in the CBD, Red Parka is a gorgeous little shop you can find in Hobart. With an assortment of Pride related merch, they’re a go-to for pins and art prints. They also host a number of Tasmanian artists and creators. Support locals and find some great merchandise at Red Parka.

Winter is a tough month for a lot of people and especially in Tasmania. Support local where you can, including yourselves and each other.

Got any other queer businesses you’d like to give a shout out to – including any freelancers or Etsy store owners. Let us know on social media or send us an email to mail@tascahrd.org.au
