Rivoli of Paris,located in Strathfield Plaza is a specialist handbags and luggage shop. It has a…read moregood collection of handbags , suitcases,office briefcases , wallets etc.. Each time I go to Strathfield Plaza, I do not intend to buy anything and I tell myself that I am just going to have a look. But that's my biggest mistake I guess.They do have an excellent variety and that too at prices very affordable . The quality of the handbags is really commendable. I have been using their bags for a long time and not once have I found that the product was inferior. This place is owned by a Sri Lankan couple and they put their heart and soul in the business. Always welcome you with a smile , but still leave you to browse through their range. If you like something you ask them and they will fill you in with more info and show some more designs in what you like . I mean that's the whole idea why you go into a retail shop or else everyone will be buying online. Good value for money and they have something in store for every taste .

Definitely stay away from the 'Eyelet Detail Ballerina Flat' - yes so super cute, but has a design flaw and leather is so not premium Italian leather, and tears very easily. I reached out to Bassike after my $600+ purchase, having them for only two weeks, worn about 5 times and the leather has torn on the heel area, both shoes and looks shabby. Basically Bassike Customer Service made it very clear they would not be replacing them, after reaching out twice. I have never experienced such poor Customer Service, so disappointing! Oh but apparently I can make an arrangement to take the shoes into the store for further assessment but was made clear that the decision is not likely to change. Well thank you for your premium service Bassike. Perhaps stay away from footwear sales.

I know at least 3 girls that swear by Bassike. As in, it's the only thing they'll wear, and god…read morehelp you if you ever say a bad word about it. It's spendo, there's no getting around that, but hey, you pay for quality, right? And yeah, they cater mainly to women, but they've got a decent men's range too, and their hallmark carries across both: quality fabrics and simple yet amazing cuts. It's casual and it looks ace. For me, clothes are all about the cut. I'd rather take a $5 t-shirt that fits well than a $200 Prada one that sucks. The tees here are about a hunjy each though, so don't go too crazy. Pop quiz: it's pronounced "Basic". I didn't know that and sounded like an idiot saying it phoenetically. Yeesh.

The holy grail of Australian clothing brands if you ask me. Zimmerman's clothing is romantic and…read morewhimsical and very hard on the wallet. When I found out there was an outlet in Sydney, I knew I had to go. Located in Rosebery, the area is what I would describe as industrial chic. Parking in the area seemed limited so I would recommend Uber or public transportation. The bottom floor is swim & resort while the 2nd level is ready to wear. I was impressed by the selection. They had a ton of different past styles. Mostly solid pieces and not a ton of print left but nevertheless an impressive selection. My only gripe was they had a lot of size 3. I needed a smaller size and although it's discounted, the price is still a decent amount to buy clothes that are too big just because you love it. If you're visiting and are a fan of the line, I would definitely recommend you check it out!

Alfie's Friend Rolfe on Darlinghurst road is a cool quirky little clothes store for both men &…read morewomen. In fact it's probably too cool for me but I like going in and having a peek none the less. It's obviously got your basic t-shirts, shirts, pants and shoes that are all worth a try or buy but I like looking at the accessories. Women will like the 'fancy' necklaces, brooches and rings etc but I like the hats, watches and those 'magic' wallets. It must be my simple mind but I love those things. Go on, walk in and have a look. You'll probably end up buying something!

Trelise Cooper in Woollahra is the perfect shop to purchase a gift for a loved one. This store is…read moreone of the most fashionable stores in Sydney that sell avant-garde and luxurious clothing and accessories for women. The clothes have vibrant colours and intricate design and the jewellery is timeless and unique. They even have fragrances! While the clothes and other products are great, what makes this store outstanding is their service. The staff are helpful, friendly, and always willing to help you. Great staff and wonderful products: definitely recommended!

The Levi's store in Birkenhead Point is an awesome find. Everyone needs jeans, and Levi's are one…read moreof the best brands. This store runs great promotions like buy one pair get the second half price, or free or whatever is going at the time. The range is subject to change obviously being an outlet store but new styles and cuts are always coming in, with old faves like 501's mixing it up with the bumper jeans or curvy jeans or whatever those women's jeans are called. It's not just jeans, Levi's have a whole range of mens and women's clothes. I bought my favourite black jacket from here, and got given some great washing advice by the nice guy running the joint. If you need jeans this place is worth a look before going to Just Jeans or somewhere and buying them full price.

I tried a few pairs, and they just watch you like a criminal. I took a size 8 and had to try a size 10 that fit and when I asked whether the shoes were real leather, the old creepy man got offended and rude. Just a weird, weird vibe. Anyway to top it off, I bought the shoes, and a week later they started coming apart! I took them back on my lunch break and he said "We don't do returns for change of mind"!!! I showed him the sole was coming apart after a week (worn twice!) and he just ignored me and the girls stood in fear... Just weird, weird vibe, weird man and girls that are so scared of him. Buy online from somewhere else even if you have to pay a few bucks extra, its not worth the hassle with this guy....

First, it's open and airy and feels more easy going inside (as opposed to the other one that's dark and has scary doc martins in the window). The staff are helpful to the point of harassing you and the selection is good. If you're in the market for slip-ons, come to Raben and you will have a prism of color at your fingertips. I know how the "kids" these days feel about florescent footwear. Get down wit' it here. I was recently in the market for some hightop sneakers for my hip-hop dance class (I'm a thug). Raben had some Nike knock offs in the window that were pretty baller, so I went in to try them on. The pair in the window were a little tiny bit faded, but not noticeably so. Given this, they sold me that pair for a mere $30. Nothing beats feeling like Missy Elliott for under fitty dollars. Now if only I could swing a deal on the cornrows...

Unlike some shoe store chains, the quality is always always there - the shoes last you! Unless you're of the skinny foot variety like me, and are unable to buy a great deal from Wittner in the first place.. However, given the huge range of shoes in the shop, you should be able to find something that takes your fancy and you can realistically dance the night away in! The quality of the shoes is spoken of in the prices - these babies might be pretty, but they ain't cheap! Given the fashionable and seasonable nature of the shoes that Wittner flogs - this season is all about the wedge, while a few back it was all over the peep toe - the prices can be a bit on the dear side. But if you find the perfect pair, then you must have them!
