Whole body - 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.
Mint Vintage
What more could a girl (or boy) want? Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Dior, Missoni, you name it - Mint Vintage has got it. Priding themselves on stocking high quality, one-off pieces from world renowned couture designers, their eBay site and Facebook page is packed with loads of things which can break the bank, hey but who cares, it looks freaking cool.
Gardams Fabrics
Eighty years old and still got it; family-run Gardams Fabrics is an absolute institution to those who have a fondness for fine fabric and finishes. Visit either their City or Indooroopilly stores for bolts of inspiration beckoning to be whipped up into whatever your heart desires.
Gardams buyers travel the world securing the latest fabrics and colours from the likes of Italy, France, India, China, Japan, Britain and of course Australia.
Retro Stop
To many Northsiders, Retro Stop on constantly heaving Lutwyche Road will seem like old news. But as a fresh member to the block, I feel compelled to share my discovery in my new, albeit colourful neighbourhood.
Completely run, loved and nurtured by two friends and lovely ladies to boot, Retro Stop is a haven for vintage and retro pieces.
Ivy + Bird
A new store has nested on the ever-evolving Arthur Street strip tucked just off James Street. Ivy + Bird is the creation of Brisbane-based jewellery and accessories designer, Maria Diakos. It's an inviting space that will inspire creativity. I walked in to be greeted by a lovely staff member busily sewing the finishing touches on a piece who warmly welcomed me whilst I pawed through and discovered the hidden treasures.
Stella + Moon
The tide is high and a buoyant moon is positioned directly over New Farm. Welcome to the Brunswick Street constellation, Stella + Moon - a concept space where art and beauty collide.
Out front, Stella Gallery lets the light in with its crisp white interior and relaxed feel. Out back, the lights are turned down low for beauty therapy with the organic touch.
Angus Black
Those who frequent Brunswick Street would no doubt have noticed a new shop-front pop up. Boys breathe a sigh of relief, this store has one intention only, and that is to please you. Welcome to the block, Angus Black, a butcher shop in it's ‘hey day', and now the latest addition to fall under the Natalie Denning umbrella.
A Match Made In Heaven
Meet Carmel Kambouris, probably the best 72 year old I know. She likes angels, tea parties, and giving money to charity. She also has a banging collection of vintage clothes, and back in her day owned Carmel's, a boutique on George Street which catered to stylish babes of the sixties and seventies.
