Urban Depot

Fantastic service! A friend in California wanted to send me a gift but decided the postage to Australia would be prohibitive. He found online that Urban List stocks the items. So he bought them directly from the Leederville shop. To his (and my) amazement, the owner delivered them the same day free-of-charge to my home in North Perth. Pretty cool!

Outstanding customer service today whilst returning a gift with gift receipt. Refreshing to be served by someone with such enthusiasm for their job and customers. Great range of shirts tee shirts etc. Will definitely be back.

Amazing service. Delivery at my doorstep. Paul the owner oozes charisma and charm and is so happy to please. He has a fantastic selection of gifts - you can never go wrong buying from this quirky and clever store.

Today I purchased a flask from Pigeonhole next door to Urban Depot. I walked into UD and within 2 minutes of my purchase found the PERFECT flask in their store. I was met with kindness, authenticity and honesty from the gentleman at the counter. Pigeonhole didn’t refund me… “against store policy”. I felt welcomed and heard at UB - they are about community and I appreciate their service. I bought the perfect flask. If you want service? Go to Urban Depot.

If you're looking for a gift, the back of Urban Depot is the place to go. Well curated bits and bobs for any discerning gift buyer, and while it's a small selection of food/drink, novelty, jewellery and accessories, it's generally a good one. It would almost garner the coveted five stars, if it weren't for the one girl who seems to be serving every time I go in. She clearly feels she's above serving someone in a shop and couldn't be more dismissive or rude. I thought maybe it was a one-off, but no. It's every single time.

Great range of clothes, male and female. My Wife loves the shop and we always try to get there. Tucked away behind the record store.

Walked around but were never acknowledged as the staff were too busy chatting to each other, we then waited at the cash desk to buy a good $80 worth of bits for ten minutes but were just ignored because, again, chatting to each other was more important. We left and they didn't even notice or say goodbye because, yet again, they were too busy chatting.. How easy it would be to steal from this place.........

A great place to get some unique items, always a great place to get some little gifts or pick up a trendy outfit. Kitchen kitsch, or the latest smart invention that will impress your friends and make you look über cool.

At first I thought that this was just your typical record shop, but it turned out that it was much, much more than that. Actually, the disappointing thing was the lack of selection of records there, though since I don't have a turn table I am generally limited to CDs and Spotify (and in the end it is vinyl that seems to be the most attractive these days). As it turns out, this is more of a stylistic store with clothes, and other goodies as well. In a way it seems to be a place purely for hipster fashion, with a few other things thrown in as well. Pretty cool, but a shame about the CD selection.

Tucked in at the back of Urban Records is its more interesting counterpart Urban Depot. March down through the record part of the store and you arrive at the section selling clothing, watches, sunnies, jewellery, homewares, toys and other random gifts. There are only two or three rails of clothes in here, but everything on them is gorgeous - both the men's and women's stuff. They also have an excellent range of unusual watches, cool sunglasses and nice hats. But the best thing about the shop is the homeware/toy/gift wall. You can find really unusual gift here for anyone from your gran to your nephew. My boyfriend is really missing his mam's full Irish breakfast from home so I bought him a plate with a full Irish printed on it in 3D (see pics). They also have a collection of old-school toys, boxes to keep random crap in (literally, that's what's printed on the box!) and a really great selection of jewellery.

I love seeing independent stores that stock unique giftwares and hard-to-get-hold-of music peppered around Perth, keeping the likes of Planet Music/Video/Books on their toes and inevitably leading to more and more fantastic booty being made available. Urban Depot has somewhat of a bric-a-brac aesthetic to it but you find any cracked teapots here. Rather its homewares and unique knick-knacks are brand spanking new and spotless. I spied a porcelain deer's head that'd look great on my living room wall, and some cool Seventies spike clocks. The framed butterfly collections and phrenology busts I've seen elsewhere, but other than those objet, everything else in here is pretty much novel.

Urban Depot is a cool store. I feel cool walking into it, I look round to see a load of 'cool' looking people. To be honest I don't really know the definition of that word, but I am pretty sure it is something like Urban Depot. I enjoy that fact that me and my boyfriend love this store, He heads into the amazing rails full of the newest CDs, I would stay in the section more if they had less CDs and a few records! I walk and have a great time in the clothing section of the store, looking at all the little ordainments, its great. They have a great selection of clothing, most of which are too expensive for me to even consider. This store kills at least half hour of my time whenever I go in.

This trendy Vaudeville store houses a great selection of music, clothing, unique gifts, home wares and other nick knacks perfect for gifts and treats for yourself. The staff are knowledgeable and very customer service orientated. The store buyer must have the same soft spot I hold for French Bulldogs as I. I picked up a cute porcelain french bulldog money box that will tide me over until we have our own real Frenchie! The store fits in seamlessly on the busy Oxford St location and is a hit with the locals and tourists alike. Products are mostly priced moderately. It is a great spot to drop in for some retail therapy or get some inspiration for quirky gifts for loved ones. I have found some great clothes here too!

This is one of those shops that's got a little something for everyone. With an eclectic selection of music, a great collection of clothing for both men and women and a load of gifts and homeware of the cute and kitsch variety, this store could keep you occupied for hours. As much as I hate to use the word 'cool', this shop just is - cool. The girls' clothing especially is absolutely delectable - pretty much every item on their rails would be very welcome in my wardrobe. And the gift section is packed with things that are completely unneccessary yet somehow so desirable - a set of four tiny, doll-sized pots of jam, for example. Completely pointless, yet so, so cute, and one of those things that you can't resist buying as a gift for someone. Beware - you will end up buying random crap if you come into Urban Depot.

Urban Depot is so much more than a record store. It's entrance gives off the impression of an indie-centric music haunt for Leederville's trendy elite, but it's more akin to a one-stop shop for the suburb's hipster aristocracy. Upon entering, you're instantly greeted by the latest tune. They are, unfortunately, the only thing that will greet you. I'm met with a despondent stare from a floppy haired lad sitting at the counter, and am left to my own devices. Service aside, Urban Depot does discounts like a boss. I've found Maurie and Eve Shoes in here for $100, and a table full of other amazing footwear for similar prices. Their range of men's and women's apparel is very similar to what you'd find at Billie and Rose or Subway DC. Lots of casual clothing mixed in with some party gear, buttery-soft leather bags by Elk, jewellery by Pigeonhole and a range of other items you'd find at stores of a similar caliber. It's all very trendy and urban cool, but not exactly anything you couldn't find without marching down Northbridge's William Street. The music? I'm a fan of indie-rock and alternative tunes, so I found their selection quite pleasing. But once again, nothing to make you cry out in sweet jubilation.

Urban Depot is a dark hive of fashion and gift-ware, iconic in the Leederville scene and accessible for all. Tucked behind Urban Records, it continues the offbeat indi theme, drawing you into a world of clever gifts, trendy threads and equally hip accessories. It's not pretentious, wanky crap, it's just playful and offbeat. Lots of animal figures and prints, you know?

Want to buy a book at 9pm? Look no further, a place where you can browse through thousands of books and I really hope people buy books from stores, I'd hate places like this to disappear because of online purchasing.. Old fashioned quirky and an amazing selection of books...... Currently I'm reading 'The Game'..... Yeah.... You know wot I'm talkin bout! :-)
