Leona Edmiston
Leona Edmiston knows frocks – from little and black to whimsically floral or all-out sexy. Her exuberantly feminine, flirtatious and fun designs are cut from the best cotton, silk and jersey fabrics in colours that range from luscious, sophisticated reds to pinstripes and polka dots. Also at Westfield Bondi Junction, Westfield Sydney, Chifley Plaza and the Strand Arcade.

Herringbone
Combining Australian design with Italian woven fabrics, Herringbone produces something surprisingly English-looking – beautiful men’s and women’s shirts with crisp collars and bright colours. When the stock market went south in 2008, suit sales took a king hit, but the 'Bone boys have somehow endured.

House of Priscilla
Not only is Priscilla the queen of the desert, she also has her own boutique – not bad for a cinematic bus. Run by some of the city’s leading drag artistes, Priscilla is the place for feathered angel wings and boas, naughty nurse outfits, Beyoncé wigs, kinky thigh-high boots and sequinned frocks to fit front-row forwards. Very camp women also welcome.

Sax Fetish
No, it’s not a bar for jazz obsessives, but rather a sexy, dark-hearted shop selling high-quality leather and rubber gear. All genders are catered for, and the ‘accessories’ range goes a little further than your standard belts and handbags (cufflinks and ties take on a whole new meaning here).

Rip Curl
The quintessential Aussie surf shop, Rip Curl began down south in Victoria, but drops in perfectly overlooking the Bondi shore breaks. Beyond huge posters of burly surfer dudes and beach babes, you’ll find bikinis, watches, thongs, boardshorts, wetsuits, sunglasses, hats, T-shirts and (surprise!) surfboards.

RM Williams
Urban cowboys and country folk can’t get enough of this hard-wearing outback gear. It’s the kind of stuff politicians don when they want to seem ‘fair dinkum’ about something. Prime-ministerial favourites include Driza-Bone oilskin jackets, Akubra hats, moleskin jeans and leather work boots. There's another branch in The Rocks.

Sass & Bide
Brisbane’s Heidi Middleton and Sarah-Jane Clarke got their start with a stall on London’s Portobello Rd before heading to Sydney in 1999 and creating the label that has made them international fashion stars. Come here for sassy low-cut women’s jeans, body-hugging jackets and mini dresses.

C’s Flashback
Looking for a secondhand Hawaiian shirt, some beat-up cowboy boots or a little sequinned 1940s hat like the Queen wears? We’re not sure exactly what C was on, but her flashback men’s and women’s threads are pretty trippy. There’s another branch in Newtown.

Grandma Takes a Trip
We don’t know where Granny’s gone, but she sure left a crazy wardrobe behind. And so did Grandpa. Sourced mostly in the UK and overseas, this is mint-condition vintage, plus retro swimwear and the odd flouncy negligee.

Blue Spinach
High-end consignment clothing for penny-pinching label lovers of all genders. If you can make it beyond the shocking blue facade (shocking doesn’t really do it justice), you’ll find Paul Smith and Gucci at (relatively) bargain prices.
