Like to dress with some style and flair? Fremantle has your back – literally. In the city’s well-curated boutiques and local designer stores, discerning women can fit themselves out in on-trend gear that throws shade on shopping mall offerings. Casual wear, couture and locally-stitched creations are all in the offing. We can let it be our little secret, if you like.
To take the temperature of our local designers, head first to Wray Avenue. Pekho has delectable trans-seasonal linens and knits, offering both quality and timeless appeal. Similarly, Bukeshla’s hand-stitched linen creations are all elegance and tactile style. In Bannister Street, Velvet Sushi brings glamour and lushness to clothes that drape well, travel well and have seasonal and occasional cross-over. Frocking up? Try Megan Salmon, whose bold prints and fine fabrics offer a real point of difference.
Find hip street wear from local artists at Common Ground, and all your denim needs at Service Denim, both in High Street. Smart-casual label hunters should head to one of our gorgeous boutiques. Staple Store has classy everyday wear, while Bobby & Olive delivers easy to wear pieces with an element of surprise. Ooh La La in North Fremantle has cluey brand shoppers covered. And if you like the elegantly hip Morrison label, check out their home town flagship store in Market Street.
If it’s higher end gear you’re after, or perhaps a showstopper outfit, Ame Bel has sophistication and luxury in abundance. Haute on High is the go-to for a formal occasion, for both gowns and accessories. For classic Italian clothes, bags and scarves, Creato a Mano does unbridled European flair.
Let’s not forget shoes. Bob’s Shoe Store specialises in easy to wear shoes and boots, and Bodkins Bootery has imported flats and sandals. For a store with the full spectrum of footwear from sneakers to heels, try Instyle in South Fremantle.
