Assin quietly pulled wide its Sydney doors on Christmas eve, 2008. And what a luxury gift it was. Over the past year, the store has opened our willing eyes to the exquisite cut of a Comme des Garcons blazer, our ears to the fresh squeak of Ann Demeulemeester sneakers, and our noses to the scent of Christian Dior cologne.
Migrating up from Melbourne, the boutique carries a potent mix of high-end design and almost affordable accessories. It’s aspirational to the end, but like Christian Dior Eau Noire, incredibly intoxicating.
