Shopping fun at


Anyone who has been to the Blue Mountains will know that this area is an absolute goldmine of vintage and antique treasures. It can be difficult to decide which stores to go in to. But is one that should definitely be visited.

Pop culture aficionados will love what they find


As will fashion lovers


Located at The Strand Arcade, The Mall in Leura, this antique store will especially appeal to lovers of fashions gone by. The collection of vintage clothing, shoes, sunglasses and accessories are like raiding the best closet ever. You'll find fifties style swing skirts, knitted men's sweater vests, vintage fur wraps and beaded 1920s dresses.

Who could resist a bucket of cute coin purses


It's not all clothes and jewellery at though. They also have a large collection of vintage homewares and other knick-knacks. Cute candy dishes, teacups with matching saucers and numerous glassware items are all displayed on shelves - even the floor is covered by items for you to look at.

The browsing starts before you even get inside


It is worth spending enough time here to really dig around. In the depths of a vintage leather suitcase, I managed to unearth some old record singles which will make perfect gifts for a few people. I also discovered a few tin signs for classic movies such as Gone With the Wind, and all the best bands and singers like The Beatles.

The browsing starts before you even get inside


The store is so jam-packed with fun items, that when you walk through the curtains to get to the changing rooms, you'll actually find more things for sale. Here there's a few racks of vintage dresses and jackets, buckets of scarves and gloves, and a rack of shoes in good condition. You'll probably find yourself distracted and finding a few more items to take into the changing rooms with you.

Shoes, anyone


Pop culture lovers will also no doubt find something to take home with them, whether it be a poster, some sort of memorabilia or other ornaments. In short, if you love anything from the eras before our own, you'll love what you find in .

The only trouble is choosing what to take home with you
