Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Melbourne right now.
Melbourne has firmly established itself as the nation's fashion capital. Australian designer labels are available on High Street in Armadale, on Toorak Road and Chapel Street in South Yarra, and on Bridge Road in Richmond. High-quality vintage clothing abounds on Greville Street in Prahran. Discount hunters love the huge discount fashion shopping center attached to Southern Cross Station on Spencer Street, with its many stores. Most shops are open Monday–Thursday 9–5:30, Friday until 9, and Saturday until 5. Major city stores are open Sunday until 5.
A fantastic array of cookbooks stock the shelves of Books for Cooks, including many from local chefs. Located at the Queen Victoria Market, the shop's only steps from plenty of fresh produce, meat, and fish to support any sudden inspirations.
Brunswick Street Bookstore specializes in art, design, and architecture publications, and also stocks modern Australian literature.
An independent retailer with an exceptional range of books, magazines, and film and music CDs, Readings is a Melbourne institution. The Carlton store has operated since 1969, and there are now six suburban branches and another shop in the State Library in the city center.
