Real Living Australia – August 2019

online


6 Vestiaire Collective Another spot for epic


vintage and second-hand finds. I love tracking


down amazing past-season pieces here. They


are often in perfect condition, or still have the


original tags attached. Vestiairecollective.com


7 Browns If I’m after a new designer piece I click


straight through to Browns. The edit of designers


includes a bunch of up-and-comers so I know


I’ll find something fresh. Brownsfashion.com/au


8 The RealReal Yet another favourite for used


designer fashion. I have the app on my phone


and I use the ‘feeds’ function to create personal


edited lists of my favourite brands, so every few


days I can see what new pieces from labels like


Prada and Miu Miu have arrived! Therealreal.com


9 Romance Was Born My #1 Australian


label. I check out the ‘new arrivals’ section on


a regular basis! Romancewasborn.com


10 Lonely I shop for all my underwear online.


This New Zealand-based label creates beautiful


designs that last a long time and work for all


body shapes. I love that. Lonelylabel.com


abroad
11 Vanves Flea Market, Paris This market
is my favourite spot to shop for homewares. You
can find French pottery at a fraction of the price
you would spend elsewhere. Pucesdevanves.fr
12 Nice Piece, Paris Another Paris go-to is
this cute vintage shop in Marais. It’s great for
quirky one-off finds. Nicepiece.blog4ever.com
13 Beacon’s Closet, NYC A fashion trading
post with stores all over town. I go in the morning
when I have lots of energy to trawl through the
racks looking for bargains. Beaconscloset.com
14 Aesop, worldwide I visit Aesop stores all
over the world. For the beautiful products, and
because every store is designed
differently. Aesop.com/au
15 Modern Society, London
It stocks the coolest Aussie and
Kiwi labels and La Soufflerie
designs – my fave! Themodern
society.com R

Treasure trove You can buy, swap and sell
clothes at Beacon’s Closet stores in New York.
