Checking out William Street

Elissa lured me out of the house today with the promise of markets. I have been feeling sorry for myself with a cold and chesty cough these last few days but I thought that a bit of sunshine and fresh (city??) air might be a good thing as the couch has moulded itself to me.

Unfortunately we were two weeks early for the markets but she did drag me from one end of William Street to another (the Northbridge section) and introduced me to a few shops I hadn't seen before.

The first was William Topp. Elissa was surprised when I told her that I had never been there before. They had lots of interesting items, and many artists and designers that I recognised including local artist Margali Dincher, Melbourne labels Otto & Spike and Mattt Bags. They had many goodies to tempt and probably it was a good thing for my wallet that I wasn't feeling too flash.


The second store was the newly opened Scraps. Their opening party was last night and Elissa was their first customer! They had some lovely Australian clothing labels as well as cool prints on their walls and it will be good to see how the shop evolves.
