History

Photios Bros is a family business established in the 1920s by Basil Photios to supply a large range of top quality beads, crystals and fashion accessories to the public at wholesale prices. Basil travelled worldwide by boat to source the best products globally and some of these original products from the early days can still be found in limited supply for purchase today at Photios Bros. The company’s original premises was in the Lyceum Building in Pitt Street, Sydney where the phone number was BX7428 (yes the phone numbers many decades ago had letters in them: our phone number today still has the last 3 numbers in it). In the 1950s the company moved to its current location in Druitt Street, Sydney and has passed through 3 further generations of the Photios family. Being in the heart of Sydney next to Queen Victoria Building and the Sydney Town Hall, the business is an icon of the fashion industry throughout Australia.
