Highlights

• Haute couture to hip culture
• Cool bars

While Collins Street is all class, its little sister is an enclave of cool. From haute couture to hip culture and funky threads, Little Collins Street is where the city’s streetwise head to shop. You’ll find some of Melbourne’s best designers and boutiques here, and the stretch between Swanston and Russell streets is lined with the best in menswear.

After a solid day’s shopping there are plenty of cool bars hidden in laneways or upstairs like Gin Palace, Tony Starr’s Kitten Club or Hairy Canary. Then there is Howey Place and The Causeway where you can play ‘dodge the table’ in narrow lanes oozing with European ambience and style, or sit yourself down at one of the many cafes and watch the world go by.
