Hundreds of Thousands

The Thousands Shop opens

By Kat George, 09 June 2010

 

Open two days a week, it’s worth making time to pop into the brand new Thousands Shop. Brainchild of the team behind Melbourne ThreeThousand and Sydney TwoThousand, The Thousands Shop is just as you would expect it to be: minimal, exclusive and uber cool. Nestled away in Melbourne’s iconic Curtin House on the 6th Floor, you’d want to take the notoriously unreliable lift up, but should be prepared to walk if needs be- your efforts will certainly be rewarded at the top. Indeed, after perusing the painstakingly hand selected wares in the shop, it’s only a small flight of stairs further to reach Melbourne’s favourite eponymous rooftop bar and cinema.

With brands from home and abroad including Black Panda, Happy Socks, Note to Self, ffiXXed, Birthday Suit, Lyn & Tony, Powershovel Takumi, Yuento and Muse Audio, The Thousands Store combines fashion with art and lifestyle to create thought provoking results. From multi coloured chopsticks to DIY wooden dinosaur skeletons (the ones you used to have when you were a kid!) and exotically printed dresses to kangaroo leather woven jewellery, The Thousands Store is an eccentric mix of covetable and quirky goods to put in your home or on your body.
