Melbourne Lindy Exchange

Vintage Shopping Spree (Op Shop Tour)
... and junk shops, food, souvenirs, trams etc!

So you want to see Melbourne from its underbelly - the bargain hunters paradise! Melbourne has hundreds of Op Shops and so a guided tour will be the only way to see the best in the shortest time. How many know there are at least 3 Op shops in the CBD?

The plan is to meet at the GPO where maps and itinery can be obtained. People can join and leave us as they like. We will be travelling on trams so people will need to buy their own ticket. This is a voluntary tour so there will be no fees charged. At the moment the itinery looks like this:

  • Rendezvous at Melbourne GPO at 10 am (miss the peak hour)

  • City
    Brotherhood St Laurence
    Borries ( Not an Op shop but a maker of fine Zoot Suits)
    Anonymous Posh (Second hand Clothes)
    Antons (Expensive off the peg 40’s gear for guys and gals)
    De Elegance (New Beaded Shawls, tops)
    American Vintage Clothing Co
    Off to Victoria Market (Novelty Ties, beaded handbags, Souvenirs and generally anything your heart desires)
    The Junk Shop (Second hand Goods, plates, clocks, fob watches)
    Lunch early at the market

  • Brunswick
    Episode (Recycled clothing from Europe)
    Savers (The biggest op shop in Melbourne)
    De Fab (Second hand 30’s and 40’s goods
    Salvation Army

  • Northcote
    Old Hat (specialist 30s - 70s clothing and jewelry)
    Berry Street Opportunity Shop
    Greek Welfare Centre Opportunity Shop
  • Fitzroy (Smith St)
    ALMOST ANY SHOP WILL DO….

If you make it to this point then we will meet up with others for dinner at Mayfields before the workshop class and Swing Bowling.
You will never be able to say that you have nothing to wear again!!
