    Kirrily Stores

    A slice of Newtown in Balmain (and also at 175 Coogee Bay Rd, Coogee), Kirrily has casual cool women's wear that won't break the bank; a welcome change from the upmarket couturiers of the area.

    Strand Hatters

    Got a cold or wet head, or a serious case of the Crocodile Dundees? Strand Hatters will cover your crown with a classically Australian Akubra bush hat (made from rabbit felt). Staff will block and steam hats to customer requirements (crocodile-teeth hatbands cost extra).

    Christensen Copenhagen

    Owner Marianne Christensen buys up smart and fun imports with UK, Italian and French labels (as well as jewellery from Copenhagen), though Collette Dinnigan frocks can sometimes be seen here too. Expect fun and feminine party dresses and a staff happy to advise with the utmost tact.

    Nick Brown

    If women have little black dresses as their essential fashion item, the men's equivalent should be the crisp cotton shirt. A new Nick Brown short-sleeve may well be the perfect accompaniment to a Sydney summer. He even does made-to-measure to perfectly showcase that worked-out torso.

    Kookaburra Kiosk

    This small, long-running second-hand clothing store has some fab finds from the fashion archives. It concentrates on unique vintage pieces and manages to avoid that fabric-explosion atmosphere that plagues so many of these vintage shops. Sort through the sale racks out the front for bargains.
