Poepke
Discover this hidden collection of colourful international fashion pieces.
Overview
This William Street boutique has been serving well-dressed women in Sydney for the best part of two decades. Owners Nicola Lie and Juliet Kember started out with their eyes on the fashion and style of Belgium for inspiration, but time has evolved the store's range into a collection of local and overseas brands including Issey Miyake, Dries van Noten and Comme des Garçon.
The overall style here is loose fitting, laidback and structural, created from premium fabrics and designed to outlast high street trends. It can be a fairly intimidating boutique to approach, so take a look at the collection online for an idea of what's likely to be in stock — or keep an eye out for Poepke's biannual archives sale for the best bargains.
If you're browsing William Street's upmarket stores, drop by to check out the Maison Balzac glassware, Mondo Mondo jewellery and sleepwear by Deiji Studios, which you'll also find in store.
