Ok My melbourne friends my husband and I are coming to Melbourne in October to see "Wicked" and while Im there I intend to shop til I drop. I need some inside information on the best places to go and get the bargains. Im talking clothes, bags shoes everything I can lay my hands on. I heard there is a street or something does anyone know what Im talking about?

Hi, I don't know if you are still within their size range but I always go to Toowanda, located in one of the little side streets near the Little Bourke, Big Bourke st- you can tell i no longer live in Melbourne. And then to Chapel St oulets where one can still find some special.

I try and fly down once a year and have found Toowanda has young designer clothes and it isn't all the standard Melbourne colour of black! Cheers Barb

I was thinking Bridge Road Richmond as well. All that area, there are a huge number of factory outlet places where you will get some amazing stuff. Also, the op shops there used to have some really great gear, but I haven't lived in Melbourne for 4 years, so that might have changed. Also, look at Smith Street Collingwood, going toward the Fitzroy end. Heaps of newer outlets there you can take a look at. The Alexandra Pde end may have some nice places. I know there's a trendy bather's shop there.
