Items were of the lowest quality I can imagine, so much that a 1 review is charitable. I ordered everything the same size and the discrepancy ranged from enormous to not being able to put it on. Horrible in every aspect.

The menswear is predominately t-shirts, while the women's clothing includes tops, dresses and skirts. But it's the accessories at Sage that I adore. They have a fabulous range of vintage pieces including boots, leather belts and bags and some awesome unique creations. I love their handbags and clutches which are very now and very on-trend. The jewellery is also great.

Great shop for your running needs. They have a wide range of mens and womens running shoes and…read moreapparel, and they have clearance deals every once in a while. The shoes are stocked on their shelves in an organised way and it is relatively easy to find a size once you've chosen the model you want. Fitness First members get an additional 20% off already reduced prices. My husband and I were able to get fairly new models of running shoes for $64 each, which is actually cheaper than US prices. The shoes I bought are listed at DSW for US $79.95. The staff are friendly and helpful, one of the sales assistants was very obliging in helping us find the size for the shoes we wanted because we couldn't find one on the shelves. In fact, they come up to you when they see you looking at shoes and let you know that if you can't find your size on the shelf, they'll check if they have it in their stockroom. I know it's their job but I've found the staff at other outlet stores to be unhelpful or grumpy, so for me it's a plus that they have good sales assistants.

Who doesn't love Australian accessories label Mimco? OK so there are more than a couple Mimco…read morestores about town these days but somehow Mimco have managed to keep their authenticity in tact, meaning that each piece is still as individual and unique as the day Mimco launched. There is something inspired, something whimsical even magical about Mimco accessories. The trademark bags are a Aussie girl's wardrobe staple and the jewelry, hairclips, scarves, hats and sunglasses are treasured pieces that bring even the most bland outfit to life. Mimco pieces are quality so they don't come on the cheap. They do however have GREAT sales so if you want a piece then maybe best to head to a boutique at tax time or after Christmas. I recently picked up a pair of rose gold hoop earings on sale from $50 to $30. They also have a great loyalty program - Mimco Collective - which you can sign up for in store with a purchase and get great rewards.

As a huge fan of Mimco and their accessories, I cannot sing enough praise for their Chatswood Chase…read morestore. This shop is their flagship shop, attracting plenty of buyers. Their goods make the perfect present for friends. Upon seeing the MIMCO bag, your friends will no doubt be very thankful. Their pricing ranges from medium-expensive but the quality of goods is exceptional. Mimco at Chatswood receives the largest amount of stock which is a major plus considering all the items sell like hot cakes! They regularly have sales and recently I bought diamonte earrings for $30 which were down from $84.95! The accessories are super cute and are always a conversation starter. On many occasions I have been asked where I bought the item in question from, in addition to being complimented. Mimco accessories are beautiful enough to rival those over at Alannah Hill!

They made a point several times to call me gorgeous. (Who doesn't like that?) My mother and I tried on a matching dress and they enveloped us with the perfect accessories (shoes, hat, jewelry, belts) so we could take photos. What fun! We both ended up buying something wonderful (though not the matching dresses). They have an online shop and will ship for free if the purchase is over a certain amount. The clothing designer is Australian. I mention this because the whole experience was fun, so we have sweet memories of our time in Sydney, AND we also have a great souvenir of our trip to Australia.
