Rack Off

Overview

If 2020 has you thinking about the simple things in life — good food, good booze and nice threads, for example — then block out the weekend of Friday, November 6–Sunday, November 8 in your diary. That's when Sorry Thanks I Love You, P&V Wine + Liquor Merchants' Mike Bennie and Saint Peter's Josh Niland are all joining forces to celebrate all of the above at an event they've dubbed Rack Off.

There'll be bites to eat, with Niland and his Fish Butchery team taking care of the menu. They'll be whipping up those famed sea urchin crumpets, too. And to wash all that tastiness down, there'll also be natural and biodynamic wines by the glass and bottle.

The main attraction, though, is the fundraising fashion sale. Across two mini warehouse spaces at 17 Oxford Street, Paddington, you'll be able to browse and buy — with items from Comme des Garçons, Issey Miyake, Veja, Rains, Rick Owens, Maison Margiela, Mykita, Hender Scheme, Sulvam, Lucy Folk and Bassike all on offer. Expect to nab a discount, feel like you're in a high-end boutique, but also hang out and drink and eat.

A portion of the profits will be donated to integrated cancer hospital Chris O'Brien Lifehouse — and, at the checkout, you can play a game of paper, scissors, rock to either score 10 percent off your purchase or commit to donate 10 percent to the hospital.

Rack Off runs daily from 10am–6pm.
