Hip pocket - Brisbane Shopping - Shop
SHOP is your guide to boutique fashion and retail in Brisbane, featuring pop-up shops and other places that are so hard to find that Google doesn't even know about them yet. SHOP attempts to open your minds, hearts and wallets to the plethora of things that you can probably live without but in actuality don't want to. Clothes, jewellery, books, bikes, bags, shoes, bags that look like shoes - SHOP gives new meaning to the superficial - wait, we're confused.
New Farm Shoe Repairs
As throwaway consumerism continues to fall short, many savvy folks are turning back to the trusty ole art of ‘mend and make do' to keep their purchases kicking longer. And one thing we really do need to kick along longer are our shoes. With cheap chain store knockoffs flooding the market - sole-splitting, heel-crumbling, colour-peeling gems that they are - a great pair of shoes is pretty hard to come by.
E&E Electronics
I know it's pretty much as racist as you can get, but when it comes to getting my stuff fixed I'll only trust someone whose grandparents, at the least, were born in South-East Asia. I just don't trust whitey, because sure, he'll probably mend the embarrassing crotch explosion tear in your jeans, or fix whatever faulty consumer electronics item that's currently plaguing you.
For-Tomorrow
You know that voice in your head? The one that sounds a little bit like your Mum's and tell you to do sensible things, like ‘save your money for a rainy day'. This is the same voice that gives you hell when you make an extravagant fashion purchase. Well... when this happens you can now politely turn around to that voice and say ‘You never know what tomorrow will bring.
Enoggera Tce Bazaar # 3
Oh come all ye vintage faithful, this silent Tuesday night to a little inn on Enogerra Terrace. Where three wise ladies have gathered to deck the halls with Brisbane's best vintage and crafts for a night of Xmas shopping and record playing.
The third in a series of Bazaars brought to you by Cheap Frills, here you'll find mens' and womens' vintage, retro and quality second hand clothes, jewellery, bric-a-brac, hand made crafts and other delights.
Arthur Street Market
My my, Brisbane sure is getting conceptual. First there's Garuva dining in the dim, then Donna Marcus' giant balls in Brisbane Square, then that darn knitting needle bridge. Here to out-gawk them all (in a good way) is Arthur Street Market - the conceptual fashion pop-up store off James Street.
It's Bazaar
Approximately 48 hours. That's how much time we have every weekend to cut loose, sleep in like a baby, market for fruit and vege, scope the fashion, eat cake, get a bit of culture, visit our folks and do our washing. It's a whirlwind.
For this Saturday only, It's Bazaar is here to help us cover three of those bases (and no, they're not help separate our whites or listen to dad jokes for us).
Clarence Corner Book Shop
If the best things in life are free, cheap reads are a close second. Sure, the price of living might be on the rise, but it's nice to know we can still bedeck our bookshelves and stimulate our brains at a discounted rate. Literally overflowing with pre-loved books from every popular (and obscure) genre nameable, Clarence Corner Book Shop is a treasure trove of second-hand literary delights.
