Shopping in Perth, with its pedestrian-friendly central business district, vehicle-free malls, and many covered arcades, is a delight. Hay Street Mall and Murray Street Mall are the main city shopping areas with large department stores, linked by numerous arcades with small shops; up the far western end is King Street and its glitzy international stores including Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., and Gucci. Head to Northbridge's William Street for hipster and local designer boutiques. In the suburbs, top retail strips include Napoleon Street in Cottesloe for classic, beachy clothing, and homewares; Claremont Quarter in Claremont for fashion-forward garments; Oxford Street in Leederville for edgy threads and unique knickknacks; and Beaufort Street in Mount Lawley for idiosyncratic finds.
Australian souvenirs and iconic buys are on sale at small shops throughout the city and suburbs.
You'll find authentic Aboriginal artifacts and art at this city gallery. Each piece of original artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity and royalties are paid to all artists. Painted boomerangs, didgeridoo, and dishes make wonderful gifts and lasting souvenirs of your holiday Down Under.
Get your fill of authentic Aboriginal art—far more than just dot paintings—by viewing one of the solo or group-curated exhibitions by emerging and established artists and communities at the Mossenson Galleries, which has been one of Australia's leading Indigenous commercial galleries since 1993. The gallery is open Saturday afternoon only.
