I was thinking the other day that Surry Hills was maxed out and we were going to have to start searching further afield for SHOPs. Like (gasp!) over the bridge or something. Thankfully, this new strip of boutiques on Crown has saved us (for a short while at least) from that unfathomable idea.

A lot of the shops are still empty actually, but the first one to rear its little head is great! Imagine everything you could possibly need in terms of travel accoutrements, a handful of luggage brands you won’t find elsewhere in Sydney, plus an array of kitsch jokey items that would make great presents for cousins you don’t know very well. Win!

I think I like it because it offers a combination of that exhilarated feeling of possibility you get when you’re in a stationary shop (“My life could be so organised!”) crossed with the exhilarated feeling you get from thinking about jumping on a jet plane (“So long, suckers!”). In short: good vibes.
