Level up your style game with a visit to Melbourne's iconic Queen Victoria Market, where renowned Aussie labels and unique handmade pieces are waiting to score a place in your wardrobe.
Like any true fashionista, Melbourne's Queen Victoria Market has worn many different hats over the years. Once a wholesale and livestock market, the 'Queen Vic Market' of today is a bustling retail hub that is now home to more than 600 small businesses, selling everything from fresh produce and food to fashion, homewares, gifts and souvenirs.
For those looking to give their wardrobes a much-needed seasonal update as the city starts to shake off the winter chill, the Queen Vic Market boasts a wide selection of on-trend threads and quirky handmade accessories that are screaming to be a part of your wardrobe.
Celebrating local designers
Unlike big shopping centres where every store stocks similar items, Queen Victoria Market offers genuine diversity. Independent designers stand alongside popular Aussie labels, such as Cotton On, Nobody Denim, and Skin & Threads – all of which first began as stallholders under the market's famous sheds.
When it comes to shopping at the Queen Vic Market, the highlight for many lies in the thrill of unexpected discoveries, whether it's unique handcrafted earrings, floaty bohemian style dresses, quality leather jackets or a vintage band tee. It's the place where you'll find that special piece that has all your friends asking, 'Where did you get that?'
Plan your visit
Queen Victoria Market is located on the corner of Elizabeth and Victoria streets, Melbourne, and is open Tuesday and Thursday to Sunday from 6am.
