The Thousands Shop
published on 21st December, 2009

For a number of years now, we’ve been telling you what we like via the internet. We tell, you read, and then you spend your life savings on postage trying to get yourself a picnic rug with sleeves and the latest issue of Apartamento and a pair of wooden bike handlebars, all at the same time. But not for much longer. The Thousands Shop is taking all our favourite things and showcasing them in a single place online, a compliment to the ochre-turfed permanent retail emporium in Curtin House in Melbourne.

Ditch any unworthy contenders for a spot under the Christmas tree this year in favour of a googly-eyed rock man from Trust Fun, bespoke crocheted 2 by Lyn and Tony, sexy goth origami jewellery, classy Japanese stationery from Duller, limited edition vinyl pressings from local acts like Darren Sylvester and Super Wild Horses magazines, summer shorts, wallets, or any number of droolworthy rare and hard to find publications and zines from Australia and beyond.
