Subscribe Melbourne Shopping: The Best Boutiques and Stores to Visit in 2025
The latest and greatest in Melbourne shopping, from Scandi design to sustainable beauty.
Creativity finds its form in Melbourne — not just in our world-class restaurants, moody wine bars, and beloved galleries, but in the way the city dresses. Across the cobbled laneways and leafy high streets, Melbourne’s fashion scene hums with originality. From slow-made pieces and cult homegrown labels to curated vintage and impossibly chic eyewear, each boutique is a world of its own.
In need of a little sartorial soul-soothing? These are Melbourne’s most stylish destinations for inspired retail wanderings.
Radical Yes
Nine years on, and Radical Yes’ North Melbourne outpost is still strutting to its own beat. The brand’s beloved Fitting Salon has had a bold refresh courtesy of Molecule Studio — a sleek reimagining that champions fluidity and flow. The iconic chartreuse velvet curtains remain, now joined by hits of cobalt blue and sculptural curves. With funky footwear and playful accessories lining the shelves, the space is part gallery, part fashion temple — and wholly divine.
554 Queensberry Street, North Melbourne
Ganni
GANNI’s first Melbourne boutique at Emporium is a playful nod to Copenhagen cool, where effortless style meets a splash of whimsy. Found on Level 2, the shop is decked out in pastel hues and Danish design icons — think Hans Wegner’s Wishbone chairs and quirky vases — that perfectly frame their signature statement pieces: bold Bou bags, buckle ballerina flats, and graphic logo tees. Whether you’re a lifelong “Ganni Girl” or a curious newcomer, this store serves up the joyful, confident vibe the brand is known for — a true style playground in the heart of Melbourne.
Emporium Melbourne, Level 2, Shop 2-018/287 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne
Assembly Label Flagship
Assembly Label’s newest boutique in Albert Park is a refined retreat for the style-savvy. Located on Dundas Place, the space unfolds like a chic, minimalist home, inspired by Japanese architecture and designed by We Are Tribe. Warm timber, a garden atrium, and artful touches by Pia Isabel create an inviting sanctuary that perfectly mirrors Assembly Label’s timeless, coastal-inspired fashion. More than clothes, this destination champions Australian craftsmanship with curated interiors from Mr and Mrs White, Halcyon Lake, and Euroluce. Having opened in early May, it’s where luxe meets laid-back — effortlessly cool, and undeniably you.
125 Dundas Place, Albert Park
Above The Clouds
High-concept, low-fuss — Above The Clouds has touched down on Collins Street with all the confidence of a store that knows exactly what it’s doing. Designed by Pattern Studio, the boutique leans gallery more than retail: sculptural blue sneaker walls, mossy tones, and a stillness that feels intentional.
The edit is sharp and street-slick — Arc’teryx, mfpen, Beams Plus — curated for those who prefer their fashion functional, directional, and just a touch obscure.
Shop T0.07/80 Collins Street, Melbourne
Mane
Perched above Swop on leafy Peel Street, Mane is a study in fashion, form and feeling. Sunlight dances across chartreuse velvet and cobalt accents, while a curated edit of cult designers like P.A.M, Alix Higgins and Proenza Schouler lines the walls. Founder Lauren Nicholls tapped Studio Manifold and artist Reko Rennie to craft a space that celebrates creativity and connection. With vintage pieces, design-led moments and sundrenched fitting suites, it’s a playful, ever-changing boutique that redefines what shopping in Melbourne can look and feel like.
Level 1/10 Peel Street, Collingwood
E-Nolan
Tailoring, but not as you know it. In a softly lit, impossibly chic atelier perched above Oxford Street, designer Emily Nolan is quietly upending Melbourne’s fashion narrative — one made-to-measure suit at a time. These are clothes that flirt with structure and subvert tradition, where Savile Row meets feminist poetry and the blowfly gets its moment in the spotlight. The mood is part speakeasy, part sartorial séance. Come for the impeccable cut, stay for the sly wink sewn into every stitch.
By appointment only
125 Oxford Street, Collingwood
The Standard Store
On Gertrude Street — that reliable barometer of what’s hot before the rest catch on — The Standard Store is a riot of colour, charisma and curated cool. Nicola and Orlando Reindorf’s Fitzroy boutique trades in joy: high-quality, slow-fashion pieces sourced from European labels you probably can’t pronounce but desperately want to wear. This is retail with guts. The racks don’t scream trends, they whisper style. There’s a yellow rug that matches the mirror, a changing suite you’ll want to live in, and a killer edit that proves this as one of the best spots to shop in Melbourne.
159 Gertrude Street, Fitzroy
HoMie
A Fitzroy favourite with bite and backbone, HoMie trades in streetwear with something most labels can only dream of: a social conscience that actually works. Inside, you’ll find punchy graphics, limited drops, and a retail fit-out that hums with understated cool. But the real flex? Every piece powers a suite of programs for young people affected by homelessness or hardship. It’s community-minded clout — worn loud, lived louder.
2/296 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy
P Johnson Femme
There’s a quiet kind of power in P Johnson Femme’s Armadale salon, where sharp tailoring meets soft femininity without ever trying too hard. The vibe is less corporate armour and more confident second skin, designed for women who want to look effortlessly put together but never staged. With luxe fabrics that feel like a whisper against the skin and cuts that bend to your mood, this is suiting for the modern femme who knows nuance beats noise every time.
1082 High Street, Armadale
Saloon
Saloon hits different in Melbourne’s CBD as a fearless boutique blending stark minimalism with cheeky whimsy. Founded by Georgah and Kirra, it’s a curated clash of local gems and international edge — think sleek silhouettes, bold homewares, and playful oddities. Their signature mix of clean lines and vibrant eccentricity creates an electric space where shopping feels like an artful rebellion, and every find commands attention.
Level 4/252 Swanston Street, Melbourne
Somebuddy Loves You
Somebuddy Loves You is Fitzroy’s quietly electric boutique, a treasure trove where Australian and international labels collide with effortless cool. Founded in 2003 by Lyndsey Spark, this gem eschews the usual fuss, offering pieces that feel as authentic as the street outside. From playful Paloma Wool to sculptural Reliquia, every item is handpicked with care — a thoughtful edit that rewards the curious shopper.
193 Smith Street, Fitzroy
Filly’s Stable
Stable is Albert Park’s sartorial sanctuary, where curated cool meets fearless colour. This isn’t your average boutique; instead, it’s a bold playground of statement cowboy boots, relaxed-fit shirts, and edgy gold jewellery, all showcased within a space reimagined by Studio Manifold’s expert touch. Think gleaming golds, soft baby blues, and eclectic vibes that let the clothes — and your style — shine. With local labels and international standouts like Ganni and Baum und Pferdgarten, Stable promises wardrobe alchemy for the fashion-curious and the daring alike.
130 Bridport Street, Albert Park

The inviting space feels like a warm hug — welcoming you to linger, explore, and discover pieces that feel as good to wear as they are to find. It’s boutique shopping, but better, and yes, better with friends.
