Hidden beyond the understated frontage of this sweet little store you will find a treasury of vintage items ranging from vinyl records to glomesh bags to purple tulle Cyndi Lauper-esque skirts. Much of the collection is dedicated to women’s clothes and accessories however there is a small selection of men’s gear which I’m told is going to expand in the near future.

Description
This beautifully presented vintage store on High Street Northcote stocks a range of homewares and collectables from all over the globe, with French and Belgian pieces featuring prominently. The owner, Penny Attwill, spent a number of years studying in France. During this time she developed a love of all things French and has since travelled back many times in search of items for her Melbourne store. La Brocante also stocks a range of new giftware, cards, books and decorative bird houses which dominate the front of the store; most of the vintage wares are located at the rear. Vintage highlights include number stamps, scales and European maps.

Description
Beyond the Victorian shop front of 303 Clarendon Street is a secondhand wonderland heaving with furniture, homewares, jewellery and artwork. It’s hard to walk past this store without being lured inside by the the array of secondhand furniture littering the pavement. The collection here is eclectic, with antiques from the 19th and 20th century rubbing shoulders with retro and modern pieces.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the South Melbourne Community Chest. This delightful opportunity shop is treasured by locals, not only for the sweet secondhand collection in store but also the great contribution it makes to the community. The Community Chest is somewhat of an institution in these parts, it’s popularity means that stock is regularly turned over and you will always find something new on display. All items for sale have been donated the proceeds are used to support local community groups, so you can indulge in a spot of shopping and know that you’re helping the community simultaneously – just excellent!

It’s time to welcome new kid on the block – Vintage Stash! The owner, Maryanne Loughland, recently moved to Melbourne from Wagga Wagga and has brought with her loads of vintage goodies which can be found in her Smith Street store. The stock has been sourced from all around the globe with some items being imported directly from Europe, United States and New Zealand while other items have been procured locally from clearing sales and markets in NSW and Victoria. The collection of vintage goods sit harmoniously alongside new jewellery, artworks and homewares supplied by local artists.
