In the past, back some years now, Australian fashion brands were few and far between. There were the well-known brands such as Country Road, Sportsgirl and Sportscraft but we were yet to see many independent contemporary designers.

Fast forward to now and the number of Australian fashion brands has skyrocketed and we are privileged to have local designers creating pieces to satiate the desires of all fashion lovers no matter their style or budget.

From brands with a focus on a chic minimalist look, or those creating trendy and contemporary pieces, to niche labels and everything in between.

And Australian fashion brands aren’t just scoring great marks here at home.

There are local labels appearing on the world stage in partnership with industry leaders like Net-A-Porter and Matchesfashion.

As well as these Australian clothing brands there are also more stores sharing international contemporary and high-end labels on home soil, from Toteme to Marni, Jacquemus to By Far.

Brands that, once-upon-a-time, would only have been found in stores far, far away.


There’s so much available locally now, there’s rarely reason to shop abroad! 

And then you add the second-hand clothing and luxury consignment that’s emerging at a rapid rate, and there’s almost too much to choose from!

Keep scrolling to find the best Australian clothing brands, used clothing stores, and boutiques now available on our doorstep.


32 Best Australian Clothing Brands & Stores

One of the top reasons to try shopping closer to home is to reduce carbon emissions associated with our purchases, therefore reducing the damage our planet endures each time we buy from abroad.

But as well as that, the brands and stores we’ve now got to choose from are so good!

So after much umming and ahhing about who should make the list, I finally managed to narrow the selection down to the best 32 Australian fashion brands and stores for you to check out.
