Shag

Staff are weird and cold. However the pieces are excellent and interesting. The place is definitely worth a browse. Their window displays are lovely too.

A smaller outpost of the excellent Shag Vintage boutique, the Shag Vintage shop within the Centerway Arcade just near Flinders is arguably the best clothing-​wise.
Sure, Shag’s Brunswick Street shop may stock the most dizzying range of the shop’s signature modern costume jewellery and nothing really beats the Fitzroy store’s legendary window displays, but the Centerway Arcade store has some of the choicest bits of vintage clothing I’ve seen yet in a Shag boutique.
From vintage Valentino suit jackets to seventies Chanel shirts, old sixties opera coats to just the prettiest vintage silk kimonos, Shag is a vintage store for people who love real vintage.
Not for Shag the generic poly garbage that runs amok in so many of Melbourne’s other vintage boutiques, this place stocks only the best fashions of yesteryear.
Granted, Shag may be tiny but stock turnover is seemingly high, making a regular visit obligatory and impulsive vintage shopping a must. As if you needed another excuse.
