Luxury Australian multi-brand boutique Parlour X has relocated to the historic St Johns Church Paddington, which has been transformed into a distinguished retail destination.
October 27th, 2015
Leaving their home in Fiveways Paddington, Parlour X finds fashionable new digs in ‘The Church’, which was originally built in 1845 and now stands as a remarkable building and an Oxford Street landmark.
The architectural fit-out of the new store was handled the award-winning Tobias Partners and marries a stylish palette with a suitably boutique collection of luxury finishes, creating a retail sanctuary in the heart of Paddington.
With a joint focus on a corporate and creative headquarters for company employees and industry associates, the boutique also incorporates a photographic studio and offices for ecommerce business.
