 Crumpler's first factory was at level 2 125 Flinders Lane Melbourne in what was the old rag-trade district and just up the road from the Minuteman Messenger base (199 Flinders Lane).After orders increased they moved to 30 Brunswick St Fitzroy where they had a factory out back, shop in the front and a flat upstairs where Stuart Crumpler and his partner Suze and their dog Ansen lived.After further expansion the factory moved to Ballarat for a few years then back to Melbourne where the firm took over a huge derelict wool-store building in Kensington.
