If you’re looking for something different, something unique, something that you haven’t seen anywhere else, then check out these beautiful boutiques at The Levee.
Stocking big fashion brands: Afends, Brixton, Stussy, Thrills, Status Anxiety, Wrangler, I Am Gia, Soulanzee, Liberated Heart and Nevada Clothing; Hunted is a fashion heavyweight!
They have a big range (even bigger with their new store) with lots of women’s and men’s fashion, festival fashion and accessories at affordable price points. Owner Karina has put together a fantastic selection of pieces, with a mixture of classic basics, right through to show-stopping festival outfits.
“Customers can expect a lovely local welcome with a new shop fit out that features an edgy artwork that was designed for the 2017 Gumball by local artist India Clarke,” Karina explained.
Since opening in December 2015 Hunted has become a go-to fashion destination in The Levee, recently they moved to larger premises just a couple of doors down High Street. Their original store at 380 High Street is now a dedicated outlet store, perfect for picking up a bargain from last season.
Situated in one of Maitland’s most iconic buildings Taylor’s of Maitland is the go-to place for beautiful things. As owner Carolyn explained, “Customers can expect a Fine Living department store experience with a wide range of Hamptons & French Country inspired homewares, furniture, fashion, home fragrance, fine foods and giftware”.
Visiting Taylor’s is just such a lovely, relaxing experience. The staff are wonderfully helpful with finding that perfect piece for your home or assisting with gift selection, they even offer complimentary gift wrapping on all purchases.
“Visit our store and enjoy a relaxing and calm escape from the world, full of all things beautiful,” it’s hard to leave empty handed!
