If you’re serious about shopping in the city you’ll already know all about the Strand Arcade. Built in 1891, the Strand has been a shopping mecca from day one, despite going through two world wars, two depressions, two fires and one pandemic.
There are so many delightful shops, impeccably styled to suit the grandeur of the arcade itself, covering fashion, design, cookware, jewelry, antiques and so much more.
Drop into Dinosaur Designs and marvel at their latest collection of accessories, salad serves, plates and even furniture all made from their signature resin. Or check out a a local fashion house like Manning Cartell to sample the new season style.
There are shops like the Nut Man which have been there for 83 years, and other like the Strand Hatter which have been there almost as long. It really is the place in Sydney to by a hat, not matter what the style or season.
The Strand is also full of artisans – tailors, jewelry-makers and people like shoemaker Andrew McDonald, who ply their fascinating trades on the premises.
And you can dine out on that special occasion at hatted restaurant Pendolino.
The Strand Arcade really is a true icon for Sydney shoppers.
