Just opened
So many stores have come and gone at Chapel Street's South Yarra end over the past few years that it's nice to see a bright brand moving in. Resort favourite Mister Zimi, known for its technicolour prints, has opened a new store to showcase its 1960s and 1970s inspired resort wear.
The store has blonde wooden floors and feels almost a tad like a boutique in Bali, where owners Jimi and Zoe Paul are based.
Still, despite its beachy feel, there are plenty of pieces from the new collection that can be layered through the cooler months.
555a Chapel Street, South Yarra. Monday-Saturday 10am-6pm, Sunday 11am-5pm.
