Bakery Lane 

Within Bakery Lane lies a handful of small boutiques, cute cafes and hip bars. Pick up a colourful wardrobe at Destacarse Boutique or rent luxury bridal dresses from Bessette Bridal. Make sure you pick up a snack from Cakes & Shit, there is no better way to show you care than with a light-hearted insult cookie. 

Winn Lane 

Neighbouring laneway Winn is tucked just off Ann St. Once you resist or give in to the tasty burgers at Ben’s then hunt for cool streetwear fashion at Akira or vibrant prints at Phoebe Paradise. Pick up all things guitar at Tym or make Winn Lane the destination to find your dream bridal or evening gown at Babushka Ballerina or House of Ezis.

California Lane 

Trendy new edition, California Lane joins Fortitude Valley's laneway scene and sees a number of labels popping up to showcase their wares to valley shoppers. YP Threads and beachwear label LJC Designs call the laneway home, but we suggest stopping in to see what other boutiques are selling their designs.

James St 

This leafy hotspot is one of The City’s go-to shopping destinations. Featuring flagship Australian brands, premier fashion labels, international designers and local boutiques, this tree-lined street is a must-visit for fashionistas.

Some of Brisbane’s favourite designers call the strip home, including Gail Sorronda and Molten Store, alongside local and national boutique brands Calexico, Camargue, Zimmermann, Samantha Ogilvie and Camilla.

From here, cross the road to The Calile Hotel where you will find a beautiful gift shop called the Museum Of Small Things (M.O.S.T), luxury Australian brands Dion Lee, Bec + Bridge, Camilla & Marc, Venroy, Carla Zampatti, and more.

If fashion isn't your thing, James St is also home to beautiful interior stores including international brands West Elm and Pottery Barn. For coastal chic, check out St Barts or premium interiors brand Jardan for those interested in contemporary, design-led furniture. For something locally handcrafted, explore Australian resin makers Dinosaur Designs for unique kitchenware's, jewellery and vases. 

Mecca Cosmetica, Aesop and Rationale are perfect for beauty fanatics, otherwise head into Endota Spa or Kailo for a calming afternoon of R&R.

James St is also home to the largest gathering of the city’s best restaurants in one location from casual eateries to fine dining. Check out our James St Dining Guide here.
