The best fashion and gift stores Melbourne

Myer is the largest of the department stores. It is a chain of stores with over 60 locations throughout Australia. Built in 1914, this one is the flagship of the chain with many stores, two cafes and even an event hall. Its main entrance is on the Bourke Street Mall and spans six levels. A second building on Lonsdale Street has seven floors. There is a choice of international and Australian designers for men and women, cosmetics, shoes, accessories, housewares, furniture, electronics and toys.

Be sure to visit Bridge Road Richmond known for its many factory stores but also for its unusual stores. Bridge Road is classified as a Victorian heritage area. Its history dates back to 1837, just two years after the European settlement of the area. The first land sales took place on August¹, 1839. Today, many of the stores, restaurants and cafes you will discover are located in what were once warehouses.

The David Jones department store, whose main entrance is on Bourke Street Mall, has three buildings and is known for its quality merchandise. On the same avenue, we continue to number 335 to discover The Royal Arcade. Opened in 1870, this arcade is the first in the city and the oldest in Australia. It is even registered in the Victorian heritage register! It is absolutely beautiful! Nearby, don't miss The Walk Arcade, which connects Bourke Street Mall and Little Collins Street.

During your visit to the bohemian Fitzroy district, this beautiful boutique will be the perfect place to stop and take home a souvenir of your stay in Melbourne. Open for more than 35 years, the establishment is run with a master's hand: there's a plethora on offer, from candles to decorative objects and fabrics, and it's all fairly inexpensive. On weekends, you can also visit the Rose Street Market, just a few minutes' walk away, which is also a local must.
