I absolutely love shopping at Zegna, there's nowhere quite like it in the city. From the moment you…read moreenter the friendly staff make you feel welcome and cater to whatever is required. The staff go above and beyond offering beverages and just being genuinely interested in what the customer has to say. The store is absolutely huge, especially by Brisbane standards. The clothes are always of the current season, and absolutely amazing. Everything is well cut, trendy and made with the finest materials. If I only had to choose one brand to buy from forever it'd probably be Zegna. The store follows the design philosophy of most Zegna stores and is quite a nice space to be in. Finally I'd like to give a shoutout to the family SA Ruby. She is absolutely amazing, she's extremely knowledgeable, friendly, funny and honest. Ermenegildo Zegna is an extremely fun place to shop, so if you're ever in the city and low on endorphins, make sure to stop by!

I first saw this accessories store while shopping in Sydney. I was impressed then and I'm impressed…read morenow. Especially by the fact that they're in Brissy too. Yippy. I don't think the accessories here are of really high quality, but for random day-to-day use, it is worth buying up here. As trends change fast these days, so does the merchandise in this store. This is a good thing! They don't necessarily just get rid of the older stock, it will just fizzle and then there's a sale and then... BOOM! New hot smack bang in the front and centre of the store. Luring all who dare to get tempted, through its doors. I am more than happy for this store to tempt me. They have such a great range of dress-up accessories and best of all, they are cheap. Not cheap in an nasty way, far from it. The jewellery and bags sold here are of the latest trends and fashion, just done at wonderfully welcoming prices. Easy on the wallet and easy on the eye! I would describe this store a bit like a Topshop. It attracts a market of trendy, young and hip peeps. What I would hate to see happen is this store turn into a Diva. Ick. But I doubt that will happen. The store layout is great and ambience created by the dim lighting and the darker paint shades really sets it apart from the Diva's and other tacky accessories store.

First off i have to say this store is probably my go to store for accessories. I love following the…read morelatest trends but i find most stores to be over priced and cheap quality But with Colette Accessories i find it to be the complete opposite. They have great prices and great quality stuff. Out of all the times i have been here i dont think i have ever walked out empty handed. I only just the other day walked out with a fantastac large handbag and nice rope chain bracelet and only paid $35 all up. You tell me where you can go with a great bargain like that. Not only that but the girls that work there i find always to be really friendly and welcoming and never pushy. They are happy to help but if you just want to look on your own they let you be I love that in a store. I will continue going here. I love this store.

I recommend you only shop at this store in person, and not make online purchases. The 2 stars are…read morefor my in person experience. I would give zero stars for my online retail experience. I purchased a number of items online for a trip I had in 5.5 weeks. After 2 weeks of seeing they had not yet even been sub to be shipped out, I wrote them an email. They wrote back saying they would ship my things out, but that they no longer had a number of the items in stock - and could they pick some items for me? I wish I had said no, but I agreed as long as they could get the shipment out that day. What they should have done, the professional thing to do, would have been to refund me for the items they no longer had in stock and offered to expedite my shipping. It has now been 4 weeks since I put in the order. I have not received my items. I imagine I'll receive them in a week or two, when I no longer have need of the items I ordered. The store is a cute local shop - they do not have the customer service skills to being doing retail on a global scale.

Do I talk about the collection of Zines and Mag's I have perused here on many an occasion? The range of amazing woman's clothing I have lusted over? The art events they have hosted? Or the friendly staff I've had good chats with? it is a bit more than your average retail space. I've been coming here for a while and I love their sourced and curated collection of eclectic designs from artists around the globe. Definitely worth a gander if you are valley side!

It's a very small store, but nicely set out, so the experience of shopping here is a pleasant one. Most of their clothes were very pretty, lots of dresses and crochet tops. They also had one of my favourite features of any shop; sale racks. And not one, but four sitting innocently out the front of the store, ready to grab hold of any meandering pedestrians. I spent a while happily browsing. Some of the pieces were not really my style, but I certainly came across some things that required the reasoning part of my brain to kick in. They are a new business so I found it impossible to track down a phone number to confirm opening hours, so please keep in mind that I have taken an educated guess based on the opening hours of the surrounding businesses.

Apart from offering such a random mix of female clothing that I feel like all three generations of…read morefemales in my family could find something to wear here, this place is pretty typical of the women's clothing stores you find in shopping centres. I was surprised to come across some really nice stuff, but there was a lot of stuff which didn't appeal to me at all. It's a big place with heaps to choose from. A friendly, gossip-loving sales assistant was working at the time of my visit, and her conversation with another customer about their families provided a lively, interesting backdrop for my browsing.

There are some interesting pieces and some really nice earthy tones plus some solid black clothes that would go with anything. Some items with beads, some with frills and some with lace. The range of clothing is good although not all of it is something I would purchase. Each to their own. Because there are a few different styles, most people would be able to find something to their liking at a good price. They also have a few good quality handbags and accessories. There was a few nice necklaces and belts that I quite liked last time I was in.

I'd always thought this store was a bit "Ascot mother" for me. It seemed a bit middle aged, and the…read moreclothes had a "Melbourne Cup Day" sort of vibe. But walking past recently I was lured inside by a gob-smackingly gorgeous Camilla kaftan they had draped on a mannequin in the front of the store. While I was in there rifling through the rails, my delighted gaze fell upon what was appropriately called a "Goddess Dress". And, yes, it was truly divine - a beautiful, light-as-air, floaty, fuschia and bright orange silk maxi that I could just see myself wafting around Brisbane in. A lesson in this season's colour blocking trend - the Queensland way. In other parts of the store, there's a lot of "formal" styles that aren't my cup of chai latte, but I'd definitely send any future mothers-of-the-brides and bridesmaids here too - the hand woven, hand dyed fabrics are stunning, and the colourways are dazzling.

When I stepped inside this lovely store, I thought I had stumbled across Bridesmaid dress heaven…read more The racks full of dresses in a multitude of colours reminded me greatly of every Rom-Com I've ever seen. When I looked around there proved to be other more casual items, things you could actually wear more than once. The less formal clothing was lovely, but I got the feeling the speciality is really more formal dresses and such. This is a unique store. Every piece in here is made of hand woven, hand dyed silk. Not only do they offer beautiful dresses and other items, they also have a collection of simple wedding dresses.

Nope, that is not a typo, this store is actually called "momochrome" and not "monochrome". Odd…read morespellings aside, Momochrome is just another women's fashion boutique situated in Elizabeth Arcade. This one, does not grab my attention out of the other stores though, it is simply OK. Momochrome does not stock just monochrome clothing, in fact you can find a variety of prints and colours here. It is another 'Asian Import' store selling cheaply made clothes at cheap prices. I do not find everything they sell to be "trendy", some of the things found here do look a little bit dated. It is not too bad though, some clothes look nice but nothing really stands out, at least not when I have been there. I would not say I dislike Momochrome even if it does have a weird name. I just do not love the store or find anything particularly exciting about it.

The top end of Elizabeth Arcade these days is full of little boutique clothing stores. Momochrome…read moreis one of them but unfortunately it just does not stand out. If it was not for the odd spelling of its name, Momochrome would pretty much fade into the back of my mind and be just another generic fashion shop in the arcade. The clothes here are ok. On the plus side, they stock a lot of smaller sizes for the petite girls out there. The clothes are imported and come at pretty cheap prices. You can get lucky and find something that you like but most of the time, I end up just browsing through and never buying anything. The styles are just not quite what I wear but I am sure other girls would absolutely love it. Overall, Momochrome really just blends into the background of Elizabeth arcade for me.
