For all the thrills that online shopping and end-of-year sales bring, nothing beats the bricks-and-mortar experience. This is where to shop in Sydney this summer.
Wynn Hamlyn pop-up
The Kiwi brand is giving Aussie fans the chance to shop its collection IRL for the first time at Westfield Sydney this summer. Founder and designer Wynn Crawshaw is excited to further his relationship with customers through the conceptual space – the cobalt blue countertop draws inspiration from the Harbour City’s sparkling coastline. Stop by if you’re looking for a last-minute party dress.
