Belance

Dedicated to balance, simplicity and sustainability, Belance offers a one-of-a-kind shopping experience. With a focus on bespoke tailoring, it's best to make an appointment at their Paddington boutique (known to those in the know as Casa Belance) if you’re looking to take home a truly memorable memento. From smart-casual styles to luxe tuxedos that will level up your eveningwear collection, the common thread here is high quality.

P.Johnson Femme

From bespoke tailoring to thoughtful ready-to-wear pieces, P.Johnson’s newly minted womenswear showroom is a must-visit in the streets of leafy Paddington. Housed in a converted terrace, the space is filled with colour, whimsy and theatrics – a surprising contrast to the brand’s pared-back approach to wardrobe classics. Invest in finely crafted suiting, elegant silk separates and elevated denim while indulging in the drama of the modern atelier.

Lucy Folk

Lucy Folk’s sun-filled store on William Street in Paddington embodies the brand’s bohemian approach to dressing. Bespoke jewellery services offer the chance to create an heirloom piece in collaboration with master jeweller Craig Spark, though the seasonal collections of pendants, rings and bracelets are equally as special. You’ll also find signature holiday attire alongside elegantly embroidered dresses and handcrafted silk two-piece sets.

The Intersection Paddington

A hub of Australian fashion, The Intersection is a shopper’s paradise. Highlights include KITX’s flagship, as well as boutiques from Lee Mathews, Venroy, Bassike, Camilla and Marc, Natasha Schweitzer, and New Zealand label Maggie Marylin’s only Australian offering. Beauty aficionados should stop by Aesop and Mecca or make an appointment at FENN for one of the city’s best facials.
