If you’re in that chunk of the Canberran population that has had to move to Canberra for work, you’ll know what I’m talking about when I say that shopping in Canberra can be..well..challenging! It’s not that there’s nothing here, it’s just that you really have to know where to look. So I’ve decided to launch a new post series, the ‘Canberra Shopping Guide’. Here I’ll talk about all my recommended places for buying the best fashion, beauty, giftware, decor, and more!
Canberra Shopping Guide #1: Tressle, brand new boutique for cheap and chic
Just when you were thinking there’s no place in Canberra to buy cheap and chic fashion that’s up to speed with the trends in the ‘world out there’, and that unique pieces can only be obtained online, Asian fashion boutique Tressle appears literally out of no where.
What to buy here:
This is a place for reasonably priced on-trend apparel, shoes, bags and accessories for seasonal consumption. The first day I visited I spotted pastel, brights, metallics, sequins, studs and peal embellishments, wicked blazers, and collars, collars, collars! The styles can be described as feminine, cute and chic, ranging from day and night styles, as well as office. The flavour is decidedly Korean in flavour (and possibly origin). If you are familiar with online Asian retailers like Romwe and OASAP, you’ll likely see a lot of the same items at Tressle.
