Press & Features
Archandles is a Melbourne-designed hardware brand offering cabinet handles, drawer pulls, knobs, and appliance pulls accessible to everyday renovations. We launched in 2022 with a simple idea: design-led hardware shouldn't cost more than the cabinet it goes on.

Story angles we welcome
A few stories we'd love to participate in, if they fit your editorial calendar:
"The hidden markup in cabinet hardware"
Why does a brass-finish cabinet pull cost $40 at a design store and $8 at a big-box retailer? We can speak to the structure of the hardware industry — manufacturing costs, importer markups, retail margins, and what consumers are actually paying for at each price tier. Useful for personal finance, home renovation, and consumer reporting beats.
"Australian brands serving global markets"
Archandles is one of a growing wave of Australian product brands selling primarily to U.S. and U.K. customers from day one. We can speak to the operational realities of cross-border e-commerce, what Australian design brings to global markets, and how small brands compete with established U.S. retailers. Useful for business, design, and trade publication beats.
"Designing a kitchen renovation on a smaller budget"
Hardware is the line item most often cut when renovation budgets tighten. We can share what we've learned about helping homeowners get a designed look without the designer markup — including what materially affects the finished kitchen and what doesn't. Useful for home, lifestyle, and renovation publications.
"Behind the scenes of a small founder-led brand"
Archandle is a small operation by design. We can speak candidly about building a brand from a small team, the trade-offs of staying small, and the operational transparency we try to maintain with customers. Useful for entrepreneurship, startup, and small business publications.
Founder bio
Liam founded Archandle in 2022 after years working in industrial design and seeing how much markup sits between manufacturer and consumer. Based in Melbourne, Liam leads design, sourcing, and customer experience at Archandles.

A note on the kind of coverage we welcome
We're enthusiastic about thoughtful coverage — design features, renovation stories, founder interviews, behind-the-scenes pieces, industry analyses, and considered product reviews. We're glad to provide product samples, quotes, photos, and access to our founder for any of these.
We politely decline: pay-to-play listicles ("best of" features that require payment for inclusion), aggregator content with no editorial perspective, and influencer-style "free product for post" arrangements that don't have editorial substance.
If you're not sure whether your piece is a fit, just ask — we'll always reply.
