We have all the regulars: H&M, Topshop, UniQlo, Sephora and the other BIG brand names. We have local equivalents too. So rather than recommending things, here's a rundown of the main shopping districts and the things you'd travel there for:
► The CBD: Pitt St Mall, The Strand Arcade, David Jones and the Queen Victoria Building are the highlights
- BIG names and international fashion chains
- Department stores
► Glebe/Newtown/Enmore: the vibe is alternative and low key, with a gentrified dash of bohemian bourgeois
- Fashion, vintage and local designers
- Books, both old and new
- Peculiar gifts
► Surry Hills: hipster central
- Fashion, vintage and local designers
► Paddington: bring money, and a credit card... and that family heirloom so you can pawn it when things get desperate
- Fashion, high-end vintage and local designers
