Expert advice from our fashion guides to help you make the most of Melbourne's style scene.
Visit boutiques Tuesday through Thursday mornings (10am-12pm) for the best service and full stock selection. Avoid Saturday afternoons when stores are busiest. Many designers offer personal appointments on quieter weekday mornings.
Melbourne's major sales periods are January (summer stock) and July (winter stock). Designer boutiques often offer 40-70% off. Sign up for boutique mailing lists weeks before to get early access to sale previews.
Follow Melbourne fashion Instagram accounts and Facebook groups for secret sample sale announcements. Many happen in unexpected locations with incredible discounts on designer pieces. We share these with our tour clients.
Budget for quality alterations – Melbourne has exceptional tailors. A $50 dress with $30 alterations that fits perfectly beats a $200 dress that doesn't. Our stylists can recommend trusted alteration services.
Melbourne leads Australia in sustainable fashion. Look for certifications like GOTS, Fair Trade, and B-Corp. Many local designers use ethical production methods and sustainable fabrics. Ask about a brand's supply chain.
Don't try to carry everything while shopping. Many boutiques offer complimentary delivery to your hotel. International visitors can arrange shipping home. We help coordinate these services on our tours.
Plan your visit around these exciting fashion events happening throughout the year.
Dress comfortably but stylishly – think smart casual. Wear comfortable walking shoes (we cover 5-8km on full-day tours). Bring a jacket as some boutiques are air-conditioned. Consider your personal style and dress how you'd like to shop. Our tours are judgment-free zones where all styles are celebrated. Bring a crossbody bag or backpack to keep hands free for trying on clothes.
Absolutely! We visit boutiques across all price points, from affordable vintage stores to luxury designer flagships. Our guides tailor recommendations to your budget and style preferences. You're never obligated to purchase anything – many guests simply enjoy the experience of discovering new brands and getting styling advice. We can create custom tours focused specifically on budget-friendly or luxury shopping.
Yes! Private tours offer completely personalized experiences. We'll customize the itinerary based on your style preferences, budget, shopping goals, and interests. Private tours include more flexible timing, one-on-one styling consultations, and access to exclusive showrooms. Perfect for special occasions, groups of friends, or anyone seeking a more intimate experience. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
Yes! Our Ultimate Style package includes full personal shopping assistance. We'll help you find specific items, coordinate complete outfits, provide honest styling feedback, and even carry your purchases. For wardrobe updates or special event dressing, this service is invaluable. Our stylists have relationships with boutiques across Melbourne and can often arrange special orders or custom pieces.
Professional styling consultations cover body shape analysis, color palette recommendations, current wardrobe assessment, trend guidance tailored to your style, and practical shopping strategies. Consultations happen at the beginning of tours so recommendations can be applied during shopping. You'll receive written notes to reference later. Advanced packages include follow-up virtual styling support after your tour.
Yes! Many Melbourne boutiques offer international shipping, and we help coordinate this service. Some stores provide tax-free shopping for international visitors (bring your passport). We can also recommend reliable shipping companies for larger purchases. Our guides are experienced with international shopping logistics and customs requirements. Factor shipping costs into your budget when planning purchases.
Yes, tours operate year-round as Melbourne's fashion scene is always active. However, certain times are particularly special: Fashion Week in March, mid-year sales in June-July, spring launches in September, and Cup Carnival in November. We recommend booking well in advance during these peak periods. Off-peak months often provide quieter, more personalized boutique experiences.
Melbourne weather is famously unpredictable! Most shopping happens indoors in boutiques and covered arcades, so rain rarely disrupts tours. We provide umbrellas and adjust routes to minimize outdoor exposure. Some guests actually prefer rainy days as boutiques are less crowded. We also offer rain check rebooking if weather is severe, though this is rare.
Absolutely! We offer menswear-focused tours visiting Melbourne's best men's boutiques, tailors, and accessory shops. Co-ed tours are also popular for couples shopping together. Melbourne has an incredible menswear scene with both classic tailoring and contemporary streetwear. Let us know your preferences when booking and we'll customize accordingly.
Yes! Melbourne is a leader in sustainable fashion, and we're proud to showcase ethical brands. We can create entirely sustainable-focused tours visiting eco-conscious designers, vintage stores, and circular fashion initiatives. Our guides are knowledgeable about sustainable fashion practices and can help you build an ethical wardrobe. Many of our partner boutiques prioritize sustainability.
