Mannen adds to the "new" Daylesford, which has trendy stores selling things you actually want to buy (as opposed to the things you think you'll want to buy when you've retired). It means that young(ish) city dwellers can genuinly put Daylesford on the map for a weekend getaway.
Mannen has gorgeous clothes made by some slightly obscure but good brands like Scotch & Soda. The fabrics are high quality and luxurious, with terrific textures that you just can't stop touching. I had to restrain myself but walked out with a beautiful grey marle sweater that I've worn dozens of times in the first month since purchase. I love that the items here are things you don't see everywhere (even in the big smoke of Melbourne!) so you can be assured of a purchase that is unique and special. read more
