I had to shoulder my way past about 3 racks almost toppling over with handbags just to get inside! So much variety! You can pretty much find any kind of bag that you might be looking for. I found a really cute satchel-type bag that I liked, going for only about $40 (I think there was a sale on)! Had I had the cash on me, I would've purchased it right away! As it happened, I had to content myself with just looking around in awe and excitement at all the possibilities!

Prices are the same and you'll surely appreciate the range is not as large as a CBD store. There's no menswear, for example. But for on-the-go-basics they've managed to stock a store that's a solid mix of classic fashion pieces for the true #roadwarrior.

Campo Marzio sells various items made of coloured leather. All the colours of the rainbow are available in leather and the only colour you will Not find is Black! I love their Valet Trays and bought one in Dark Brown as a gift for my partner. Because it can be spread flat, we take it with us on all our travels and use it to store daily knickknacks like keys and coins.. I wish I could buy one in every colour! You could choose from their letter openers to letter holders or diaries to pens. They sell a few funky items too like a wax seal and feathered calligraphy set, of course available in all the bright colours. As I'm addicted to shopping there, I have now changed my walking route and try to go by only once a month. Doesn't seem to have made a difference as I now buy twice as many items when inside.

Unfortunately, the very shit service and unclear product description is what you get. I bought a product under false pretence as one of their staff member described as "Leather" only to find after a closer look that it is PLASTIC. Campo Marzio design should train their staff better and not allow them to give false information as such. Asked for a refund. they refused. And get this, the lady at the store Campo Marzio design basically told me "You must have misheard". I have a pair of ears, a brain, and my uni degree and I'm also running my own business. I'm sure I have the capability to understand when someone tells me whether something is Leather or not. I paid $95 AUD for a Campo Marzio design document holder, to which I needed a leather doc holder. From the price, I wouldve thought it would be leather. I would be happy if Campo Marzio design at least apologised or showed the good customer service retailers show by listening to a customer complaint - instead of trying to tell me that "NO you're wrong, you misheard". The $95 I can try to overlook, what I cant overlook is the ridiculous customer service at Campo Marzio design and the fact that I will never shop there again.

In particular they support children living in poverty in India, free food distribution to the needy, sponsoring free community based cultural events and promoting a holistic lifestyle of balance and wellbeing through educational programs. Wow. I loved it before because it has some very pretty stuff - gorgeous and original floaty silk dresses and long beads and silver earings that I haven't seen before. It's only a small shop but what they do sell is all quality stuff and now, I find out, sold in aid of socially conscious cause. What a delight.

Wild Lotus is part of the group of Lotus Pod stores dotted around the city (in Balmain,…read moreDarlinghurst, Surry Hills, Glebe and Woollahra) and while it's the smallest of them all, it adheres to the store's ethical concept that all profits made from sales are distributed towards communities in need. The store sells their own label, Alice Underground, which focuses on simple, feminine pieces like smock dresses, flowy printed skirts and oversized t-shirts - accordingly, a lot of the designs are one-size-fits-all so you can easily change how you wear them with belts or by using them with extra pieces of clothing. I used to come into this store a lot when I lived in the area, and pretty much always found something I liked - generally, this fell into the summery, beach cover-up category at a reasonable price. Last time I went the selection of stock was a bit random, but most likely they were just in between seasons.

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!

Shout-out to Natalie and Hazel who were both extremely friendly, welcoming, and helpful. One big gripe that may sound silly but it's a legit issue: they pack WAY too many items onto each rack. They are so tightly packed together that you honestly can't slide them apart to see a garment. I mean there is truly not even a tiny gap between the hangers; the hooks are hard-pressed together on the clothing rack bar. I've never seen this many garments shoved so tightly, even at a down-market thrift store. It made it so difficult to browse that I ended up skipping past big swaths of racks that I really wanted to look at but simply could not access. It was bizarre and extremely off-putting, which is a shame.. If I could have actually SEEN the clothes properly this place would get a full 5 stars. Dear shop owner: if you absolutely must put out this many items, just buy longer racks. There's space in your store to put in more racks, especially upstairs. You will sell MORE clothes when people can actually browse through them. Stop buying hangers and start buying racks!

Where as shops like St Vincent De Pauls, or Vinnies, as it is known, stock large amounts of everything, clothes thrown onto racks and boxes and boxes yet to be unpacked waiting patiently out the back. U-Turns is more sparing with the clothes that it sells. It's as though the clothes must first pass a series of tests before they are displayed in the shop and sold to the masses. Are they stylish? All the clothes available on the U-Turn Recycled Clothing racks are very hip and very apt, some faux fur formal wear for your first foray into furry fashion. Bold and brash cowboy boots with buckles and buffed leather finishes. A hat made of a mink that makes you think about the stink it would have caused to hunt said mink and taylor him into a hat. The prices reflect the classier appeal and display of the clothing and, while cheaper than most first hand clothing, is a little pricier than the shops next door. You could find, mixed amongst the trash and bland clothing in most thrift shops, a piece of treasure that would look so bold in your wardrobe, but to find that you would have to be lucky. Likewise it would be quite unlucky to find some trash in all the treasure at U-Turn.

Like most boutique stores, it's the place to go if you really want that stand-out piece or don't want to be seen doubling up on an outfit for the evening. That being said, it really does pay to look good. Or should I say you do - and you will. The prices are quite expectantly high for a boutique store, but that's the trade-off you'll have to bargain with yourself. What I find about this little dress boutique store (on the off chance that I step inside) is that it's pretty much hit and miss with the service. For me it's reason enough not to head in if I don't feel welcome in a store. Pretty, glittery things don't always sell themselves. On occasion you'll get a small hello but that's pretty much it. I don't know, sometimes it could just be the Erin Brockovich vibe I'm imagining in my head, but I'd really like to Pretty Woman that store one day.
