I’m Katy Irwin, owner of Balance Geelong, and since opening the boutique in 2016, my mission has been simple: create a place where women can feel confident, inspired, and completely themselves while they shop.
We’re a bricks-and-mortar boutique first — The boutique has become a destination — not just for fashion, but for connection. We’ve built a strong, loyal clientele here in Geelong who know that a visit to Balance is never just about clothes. It’s about the laughter, the music, the champagne, and the little details that make it personal.
One of the absolute joys of owning the boutique is getting to know our beautiful clients on a personal level — from family stories to holiday plans, weekend adventures to what’s on the dinner menu. It’s all part of the fun and connection we love sharing in store.
At Balance, it’s never just about what looks good — it’s about what works on your body. We believe in fashion, function, and practical style, with just the right amount of tizz to keep things fun. Our customers live full, vibrant lives and need wardrobes that can keep up — whether they’re travelling overseas, dressing for special occasions, or simply wanting to feel put-together every day.
Our girl has a love of travel, quality clothing, and timeless style. Many of our customers have been with us since day one, trusting us to help them dress for their adventures, both near and far.
We love playing a fabulous tune, cranking up the vibe and turning the shop floor into a dance floor.
We love squealing with excitement when you step out of the fitting room and high-fiving you when we’ve found the outfit.
We love knowing the occasion or holiday you’re shopping for — and hearing how it went the next time you visit.
We love remembering what you’ve bought before and helping you build a wardrobe that works beautifully together.
We love knowing your favourite brands, your best sizes, and giving you a cheeky text when something perfect has just landed in-store.
Most of all, we love giving you a personalised, luxury shopping experience — whether you’re here with us on Pakington Street or shopping online.
