Alexandre of Paris
Alas, the great Alexandre – the original hairdresser to the stars – is no longer with us, having departed for hair-coiffing heaven early in 2008. But his top-quality range of French-made barrettes, headbands, clips and fascinators live on in this bijou shop. They range from the whimsical to the practical, from affordable to otherwise.

Gallery Freya
This tiny shop hidden on the GPO’s top floor has some amazing pieces, from vintage Georg Jensen to African beads and Parisian bangles. It’s run by a talented collector with a wonderful eye for delicious detail. And she’s more than happy to take you through the finer points of Jensen’s work.

Self Preservation
Iron cases hold a range of jewels from local artisans and from long ago, some lovely leather bags, plus there’s a small gallery space out back. Not only can you shop for silver and gold, you can sit down for a coffee or a glass of wine while you decide. Multitasking never was nicer.

City Hatters
Beside the main entrance to Flinders St Station, this is the most convenient place to purchase an iconic Akubra hat. Or better yet, a unique creation that doesn’t scream ‘tourist’ or hark back to times gone by.

Crumpler
Crumpler is a local company that makes tough-as-nails bags for bicycle couriers, laptops and photography equipment. They’re functional fashion accessories and ‘everyone’s’ got a Crumpler. It’s a great local souvenir you won’t be ashamed to drag around the world.
