A 2021 Night Out: Shopping

Overview

With its mix of high-end boutiques and local, independent retailers, there's no denying that Paddington is home to some of the best shopping in Sydney. See it in full swing on the evening of Thursday, March 25, when the streets of the 'hood come to life at A 2021 Night Out. Making the most of the last days of daylight savings, the one-night event sees over 100 local businesses host an evening of fashion, food and festivities. A 2021 Night Out is a partnership between Woollahra Council, City of Sydney Council and Visit Paddington.

There'll be plenty to see, do and shop at sites in the main zones of Oxford Street, Five Ways, The Intersection and William Street. The one-night offers include 15 percent off storewide at Funkis, the Paddington-based Swedish designer store famed for its minimalist and timeless Scandi-style designs. Speaking of timeless designs, Aussie designer Scanlan Theodore is serving free signature cocktails and refreshments to enjoy as you browse the latest collection, or to sip on during a complimentary styling session by senior in-house stylists.

Elsewhere, Parlour X, located in the former St John's Church, will offer 10 percent off new season items, as well as a further 20 percent off sale items, from its range of European designer wares.

Closer to Five Ways, dreamy stationery and paper store Journals is teaming up with neighbouring restaurant Tequila Mockingbird for an evening of magazines and margaritas — and, we must ask, why hadn't anybody thought of this sooner? Also on the non-fashion front, Elph Ceramics is offering 10 percent off its stunning house range of handmade pieces.
