Gould Street Favourites

words by ben stephens

When you find yourself in need of a new wardrobe, or maybe you need to furnish your new abode, Bondi shouldn’t be looked over. Gould Street alone has everything you need to get you looking, smelling and feeling good – from dog kennel air fresheners to paper laundry baskets. Here are a few of our favourite Gould Street stores that are all about that Bondi lifestyle…

Bondi Bather
Designed by a collection of beach loving Bondi babes, the swimwear range pays tribute to the bubble lifestyle. They take natural colour palettes from around Bondi and introduce them into the collection, creating a totally Bondi feel. If you are in need of a new cossie for the summer season, look no further.

Denim CoLAB
Being in, from or even around Bondi, you need to have that statement piece of denim that makes you feel at home. Thankfully the local team at Denim CoLAB have popped up with their banging store, stocked with some awesome cuts of anything denim. For the ladies and the dudes, be sure to pop in to pick up those light pieces for the summer ahead. And remember, double denim is cool, but just be sure to contrast.

Tuchuzy
A Bondi staple. Hell, a Sydney staple. Without Tuchuzy, the ladies in our lives might be a little lost. A totally distinctive boutique, stocking names that you know and a stack of other names that you should know. If you need an outfit for that Christmas party or just something special, the team here will be able to find you exactly what you need.

Uashmama
When you walk into the store you have that immediate want to buy it all. Uashmama specialises in producing paper bags… with the strength of leather. Effortlessly cool pieces. Throw a cactus in one or use it for laundry; either way, this is always a good spot to pick up a little something different.

Totem Road
Delicious furniture. Not that you can eat it, but it makes you want to. If you’re new to the bubble or just looking to update your current bed, The York is probably your best bet. Scandinavian design with sleek lines – yum.

Bondi Wash
Big on botanicals and fragrances, the team at Bondi Wash have a spray for all your needs, from the body, to your yoga mat and even one for the dog kennel. Made from all natural plant-based ingredients, these guys will have you smelling fantastic in no time.

Orlebar Brown
Based in London with stores all over the world, Bondi is happy to welcome the OB team, with their fine men’s swim collections. Think of their apparel as something that you can wear to the beach, but also to the bar. They started with the humble short and have expanded to create a whole range of beachwear that is more than at home in Bondi.

The tailored swim short is where it all began for Orlebar Brown. Classic navy and Riviera are supported by our new seasonal palette featuring rosewood pink, pistachio green and fossil grey. Alongside our house prints and editions, key seasonal stories of classic piping and pyjama stripes bring a new dimension to our swim range. #OrlebarBrown
