I absolutely love vintage thrift stores & this one’s the one, they literally have everything it’s like a maze from furniture, clothing, vintage art, jewellery, chandeliers, tins, & even old vintage coins for coin collectors such as myself, they have many different ranges but it can get a tad bit messy so you have to look very carefully, the staff are friendly however it’s quite expensive in my opinion seriously I know thrift stores are getting more expensive these days but this one is way overpriced only some items are sold for a decent price, however it’s a great place for collectors since there’s many unique vintage history items sold here & especially if you’re a teenager who has a good sense of taste you’re going to love it here, I guarantee that. 👑 Oh & here’s a tip dress your snazziest the people here have insanely great fashion taste, well most.

Interesting place full of fun knickknacks, this used to be the place I look forward to visit on Chapel Street, however the poor attitude from a particular manager (bald man with glasses) makes me hesitant to visit again, my interaction with him really left a bad taste in my mouth. I was trying to buy a $2 scarf and unfortunately didn’t have cash on me, instead of saying “$10 minimum (there was no sign at the counter)” or telling me that I can get money from ATM outside, he said in a mocking voice “oh it is ridiculous to use card on a $2 item!” I was extremely shocked by his tone. It is absolutely not the right way to speak to a customer! When I tried to explain to him that I did not appreciate his snappy attitude, he continues to lecture me about “the importance of carrying a bit of cash around” and how businesses work (I am more than aware as my family owns a small business too) I understood the store policy, however his attitude is quite poor - it does not take more effort for someone to speak with kindness! He doubles down and started to speak to me in a sarcastic and extremely rude tone, both my friend and I was appalled. According to the reviews here, most of the negative reviews were directed at this person, so it is definitely not a first time occurrence either. I have never encountered a ruder person than this manager! I am not saying that people should stop visiting this shop, but please be aware of this staff member as his attitude can be driving customers away! Friendly service goes a long way, but I’m not sure if he is aware of this fact!

Taking a morning stroll along Chapel Street and Chapel Street Bazaar as our visit 11 years ago were at night, and most of the shops were closed. It is sadded to see that there are still many shops closed due to the earlier pandemic. My wife was fascinated with the cool vintage and unique items displayed in the Chapel Street Bazaar. A place that provides a rich history on each item displayed for selling.

Love - Love - Love this amazing maze of vintage art, furniture, clothing, jewellery and other objects mixed with more modern clothing and accessories. It’s pure joy to walk around and almost get lost in the many isles of this place. If you are a collector of things or just looking for something unique, plan a day trip and enjoy yourselves, spend a fortune or walk away with a bargain! You will want to come back for more ;)

There are so many old items. pretty but so messy.

Regardless whether you want to buy something here or not, this is easily one of the most interesting and fascinating places to visit on Chapel Street. Feels like a museum with free entry. So much history, I think I stayed for 35 mins. I did not buy anything but still felt it was time very much well spent.

Bizarre Bazaar! This cramped flea market is in the heart of the shopping district of Chapel Street in Melbourne. It's tucked into a strip shopping center, but this store goes on and on and on! The store is made up of various vendors' booths, each independently run, each with different themes or types of vintage and collectible items. The shops run from antique records, to vintage clothing to old posters. There's some strange stuff in here, but a lot of what you'd expect to find at a flea market. If you're getting dressed up for a costume party, or are just a hipster, this is a good place to go. When you enter, you are required to leave any bags at the door, and then allowed to wander the store. Many of the items weren't priced properly, leaving you to guess at the prices. Most of the booths were unmanned, so if you need to get a closer look at something behind glass, or inquire on the price, you're outta luck. One booth had a very overzealous merchant who kept trying to haggle with me over items that I had zero interest in. The bazaar is rather cramped, as you'd expect a bazaar to be. I felt nervous that I was going to break some priceless artifact the entire time!

Where can you have a retail experience and history lesson at the same time? You guessed it. Right here at Chapel Street Bazaar. This large second hand shop on Chapel Street is the site of many lost hours. Hours spent rummaging through countless area's filled with all manner of things. The space is segregated into over 70 market type stalls for you to get your forage on! You can expect retro furnishings, toys from your childhood, huge cult classic movie posters, funky retro fashions and vintage home ware and jewelery but you will mostly find what you don't expect. For a second hand goods Chapel Street Bazaar is over priced, but it needs to be or the stock would rush out the door and the huge space would be empty, and we can't have that. Don't worry though, its still good value! This place defines the term treasure trove. Get there and see what you can find!

The Chapel Street Bazaar is exactly that bazaar! It is filled with a crazy selection of retro and vintage products, from anywhere between the 20's up until present day. There are cameras, clothing, paintings, records, sculptures pretty much bits and pieces collected throughout the centuries that are now available for purchase or to collect. Chapel Street Bazaar is perfect if your after a gift for a friend and are just not quite sure what to buy. I often find myself becoming totally immersed in the crazy collections and rich historical atmosphere of the Chapel Street Bazaar, there is always something new and unique to look at and the whole shopping experience is really more of an adventure than anything else.

Super cool shop/market/antique shop/? Lots of awesome finds from vintage leather jackets to furniture to posters and other bric-a-brac. Prices are all over the place, some things are super reasonable, others not so much so it's like going on a treasure hunt every time you visit, never knowing what gem you're going to score. The only thing that completely depletes the score I give them is there repeatedly terrible (and I mean awful) customer service. The people that work there and run the store are rude, pretentious and couldn't give a flying you know what about their customers (or maybe just me?). They're dismissive and I think if any of them smiled their faces would crack. It's such a shame because it's an awesome store but it has on several occasions deterred me from buying big ticket items because I just don't like spending money in stores with rude people running them. For example, I was in there yesterday and an older woman that worked there followed me around like a bad smell- not because I needed help, not because she was being helpful, I genuinely thought I was going to steal something. Every time I picked something up she took (more like grabbed) it off me and said she'd hold it at the counter for me. I did end up buying the four items but didn't have much interest in buying anything else. When I went to pay the man running the register was abrupt, snatched my card off me when I went to pay, made no eye contact and didn't say a word to me.

If you're big on vintage and retro chic, you'll love Chapel Street Bazaar. Described as the mecca of the yesteryears, you'll find anything and everything from the 30s to 90s in this large, generously stocked store. From toys, clothes, hats, jewellery, homeware, collectibles, antiques and furniture, you'll need plenty of time to slowly sort through the products and relive your past. Even if you're not looking for anything in particular, it's a really awesome store to just browse through because there really is something for everyone. Take your time though and always check that electrical goods are in good working condition before you take them home. If you're looking for a one of a kind gift, Chapel Street Bazaar is the perfect place. And since the stock is always changing, you'll never know what you'll find on your next visit.

Chapel St Bazaar has everything vintage and collectable that you could imagine, including: clothing, records, old original movie posters, tin toys, and taxidermy animals. It's not particularly cheap, because the owners and buyers clearly know the value of their stock, so it's unlikely that you'll discover unexpected bargains. Whilst lots of the items at Chapel St Bazaar might appear to be little more than junk, when you do a bit of hunting you can see that there are actually heaps of weird and wonderful things in store that make it a great place to waste some time, if not to stock up on original 1970's Playboys and the like.

Great place for a fossick for hipsters to collectors to Nannas, and also sticky beakers like me who just enjoy strolling the aisles looking over the crazy assortment of odd and wonderful recent relics.

Over 70 individual stalls stocking everything retro, antique, cool and bizarre are packed into this one location. There's just so many things here, it's almost like you're on a treasure hunt. And whether you're a collector, history buff, geek, or just love all things unique and quirky, you'll definitely walk out of here with a gold! They stock everything from jewelery, furniture, clothes, rare toys, books, knick-knack and so much more.

So disappointed to ring and ask if they can ship something I was not able to pack into my suitcase for the flight home to Western Australia. They have a NO SHIPPING at all policy I was told. Seems that they are not interested in the $450 sale I was offering them on two items.
