Parlour X

If you can’t tell Parlour X is something special from the outside, you’ll certainly know it once you enter the 1845-built church it’s located in.

Local designers Maticevski, Ellery, Christopher Esber and Romance Was Born create exclusive collections for the boutique every season. This arrangement doesn’t come cheap, but if you’re determined to stand out, nowhere else in Sydney is more deserving of your wardrobe budget.

Owner Eva Galambos also keeps the racks stocked with luxury international brands such as Céline, Chloé, Fendi, Balenciaga, Valentino, Saint Laurent, Comme Des Garçons, Stella McCartney, Proenza Schouler and Isabel Marant.

Basics don’t have much of a place here. Whether you’re shopping shoes, bags or evening dresses, Parlour X is all about making a statement. It’s been that way since 2001, and customers wouldn’t have it any other.
