Then I tried again to call to discuss my needs for the wedding and could not get through to a person - 2 days later finally spoke to gentleman who I found off handish and rude. Told to do all via email - decided to go else where for Some items I needed - but did order over $400 of stock from them. Rcvd order promptly - with one issue - then tried to deal with this issue over phone - unable to forced to use email. then when I HAD to speak to person to resolve issue - again rcvd rude gentleman and had to be quite forceful to get a response to my question. so happy to give it 3 stars - yet attitude and care to customers are my main issue with this business. I like that we can support small business in Australia rather than buy from overseas.. as Im a small business owner myself.

I can't sew a button back on, heck I can't even thread a needle, so I can't comment on Gardam's…read morefrom a sewing aficionado's point of view, but as a layperson I've always found them to be ever so helpful. I've been to Gardam's numerous times over the years to buy fabric not for my own use, but to give to an alteration service or seamstress to mend or change an item of clothing for me. This means that whenever I go into Gardam's I have a dress in one hand and no freaking clue in the other. The ladies who work there are mostly older CWA types and they're just so, so lovely and helpful. They're happy to spend as much time with you as you need as they help you match fabric colours, textures, and types to find something suitable for whatever you need. I actually love going in there because the ladies are so sweet and get really into whatever little project you're working on. Once I went to buy fabric there because I wanted to close in a cut-out back on a dress with fabric and we had a jolly old time together umming and ahhing about what colour would look nice. Sometimes I'm tempted just to pop in to Gardam's for a cup of tea and a chat, but then I remember that it's a fabric store, not my grandma's house.

I can't say I'm a huge fan of this branch of Gardams Fabrics. With their main store occupying a…read moremuch bigger shop space at Indooroopilly, the city store stocks only a selection of fabrics and haberdashery. Whilst the quality is the same (excellent), there just isn't enough range for my liking. It's not a good place to go looking for a specific ribbon, binding or button, but if you go with an open mind and not too tight a budget there's a good chance you'll find something you'll want to sew with.

This little gift shop is crammed with goodies with fabulous prices for a tourist town…read more I came across this gem merely walking along the street and the number of items in the window beckoned me. The gentleman behind the counter explained that a variety of locals leave their homemade crafts there for sale so it was a nice mix with the cheap overseas imports. There are ceramic animals, scarves, bags, souvenirs and even umbrellas for the tropical weather. My breakable purchase was wrapped in bubble wrap without extra charge and I bought numerous items which went straight on credit card. I do hope this little shop still exists when I return to this beautiful part of Queensland.

"Fabulous Australian Goods"…read more Lamington was a delight to stumble upon while wandering down Hastings Street. The Studio Cockatoo (a Brisbane designer) works in the window drew me in and a treasure trove of Australian designers like Emily Green, Kip & Co, Third Draw Down and Aesop (just to name a few) greeted me inside. The store itself is small and the owners make the most of every nook and cranny filling it with bursts of colour, textures and budget-friendly pieces for all ages from the little whippersnappers to self-gifts to adorn your walls.

Great souvenirs and stock. But Myself and fiancé were…read morebrowsing the Aesop stand and was wanting to purchase a gift set. We just couldn't decide what scent to buy I went to unscrew a lid to smell some products as there were no testers and ( I think it was the owner) or staff member. Told me we weren't allowed to open the products. Was quite rude and my fiancé asked if there was any testers to smell the products the worker went to check and said no they had none. That put us off as he was quite abrupt and how are customers meant to buy the products when we can't smell or test them? Quite stupid and we left straight after. We will just purchase from a Aesop stand.
