Perlplex Acrylic Products are made from sturdy acrylic, which is durable, but designer friendly.
For myself, a wife and mother of two boys, memories mean more to me now than they ever have before. Moments in time, which last a lifetime and become more precious as time passes.
We all know how fast our little ones grow up and having special family moments displayed in our homes is such a special thing. Something you simply can’t put a price tag on! The memories are exactly that… priceless!
Justine, the founder of Perlplex is a family and portrait photographer who was struggling to find any modern frames that could showcase photos for her clients. She had always loved acrylic and decided to source and make her own range. Since then she has never looked back and has her beautifully designed acrylic frames in many Australian homes.
I was so honoured to be able to collaborate, after reaching out to Justine and after kindly being sent some beautiful frames and keepsake boxes to test out. I know that they will be wonderful products which I hope to always keep in mind to gift friends and family.
Whether you are looking for that special Mother’s Day gift, or a special frame to mark your wedding day, the birth of your little baby, a special birthday, or other key life milestone, Perlplex has you covered.
Justine is such a beautiful person both inside and out and has been so very professional to deal with.
I cannot recommend the frames enough. They are easy to use but most of all, display the imagery so effortlessly and would suit all home décor, which in my opinion, is a win-win all round!

Styling of products, Justine of Perlplex. A big thank you to all of the creatives involved.
We recently had some beautiful photos taken by one of my fave portrait photographers here in Brisbane, Jessiika Wilson, and we were so honoured to have nabbed her last shoot spot before she headed off on maternity leave. Jess is such a stunning photographer and really captures the natural beauty and real-life moments with this journey we all call life. I hope that you love the images as much as my family and I do. The photos were taken at North Lakes community lake, right here in Brisbane in stunning and sunny, Queensland.
I also chose some special memories of the boys and I and us as a little family of four over the years.
A very big thank you again to the gorgeous Justine for gifting our family the array of different types of Perlplex frames. My fave size for Mother’s Day would be the 5 x 7 inch (15 x 20 cm) Perlplex Acrylic Box Frame. The frame retails for $42.99 and comes in other size and price options also. (see below).
4 x 6 inch / 10 x 15cm (currently sold out due to the Mother’s Day rush) – $39.99
6 x 8 inch / 15 x 20cm (currently sold out due to the Mother’s Day rush) – $52.99
8 x 10 inch / 20 x 25cm (available) – $64.99
A few sizes may be out of stock due to the current Mother’s Day rush but expect to see new stock in approximately 6-8 weeks. Feel free to drop the lovely Justine and her team a line for more ordering and timing information, or if you have a special event coming up for which you require the frames.
The Perlplex Acrylic Keepsake Box is another very popular product. From pretty dried flowers, through to baby momentos from the hospital, bridal keep sakes, or special jewellery, they are the perfect way to display these precious items, and in a safe and preserved way that looks so stunning! You can easily slip a photo of your choice at the bottom and then leave the box free to add special memento items. And if that’s not tempting enough, Justine takes all the hassle out of going to get your photos printed by offering a complementary service to provide your Perlplex frame or keepsake box with a photo of your choice included and already displayed!
Our gorgeous Ollie and Oscar Bear, their precious photograph featured in a size 6 by 8 Keepsake Box by Perlplex. I love how you can use the keepsake boxes for all precious items, such as jewellery, baby momentos, collector coins and more! The way the product works is so user friendly and made from the best quality acrylic.
If you have any questions around your gift purchase for Justine, she would be more than accommodating to answer them for you. Whether it’s questions about where to get your photos printed to ensure that they are a high quality, what size would be best for your order or intended purpose, nothing is too much of a hassle. Perlplex has the best customer service and Justine is so responsive on the business social media platforms, which in this day and age, is something that is so very important when it comes to ordering online.
Whether it be a gift for yourself for Mother’s Day this year or whether you will be gifting the Perlplex frames yourself, you will know that you have a good quality product that will last, just like your special family memories. Preserving family memories forever. Memories and moments to treasure and cherish.
