Perfect for Newtown, Tree of Life is stocked with hippy dippy fashion, homeware and accessories - in a good way! I LOVE that stuff! Everything in the store is colourful, sequiny or bright; the clothes are similar to what you'd find at a market, but are of a good quality and a reasonable price.
If you're looking for a summer dress with a difference, a pretty pillow for a housewarming gift or a heap of incense, this is your best bet.
However, this is no flea market legitimised through incorporation - the stock is clearly carefully selected, and very rarely ventures into kitsch and tacky territory. It's boho chic, not hobo chic! It's also suitably westernised for our fashion tastes - although India and Asia are clearly the inspiration for the range, it's not so overwhelming that it can only be worn in Newtown. read more
