About Mary Read, founder of reads

Mary Read has been a fashion industry businesswoman since 1974. Her expertise grew from a background in colour and design, enhanced by a commitment to research when selecting stock. Her approach and resourcefulness expresses itself in the high quality, practical and individual fashions found throughout the store.

Not tied to any particular style, Mary is constantly inspired by the work of new designers and stimulated by their changing directions. She sources fashion labels and garments that meet the diverse needs and discriminating tastes of 'individual' women. Passionately committed to quality, cut and fabric, Mary aspires to purchase the best quality product, at the best possible price point, for her clientele.

The success of reads enabled Mary Read to establish Cambodia House, a not-for-profit enterprise working with disadvantaged people in Cambodia. If you would like more information on Cambodia House, please visit our website, www.cambodiahouse.com.au or our store at 445 Oxford Street, Paddington, NSW.
