Personal shopping
service, Brisbane
Alex shops with you or for you: op shops, local labels, fabric stores and the good stuff online. $90 an hour, and the savings usually cover the fee.
Shopping that skips the rubbish
Most people hate shopping because ninety percent of what is on the rack is wrong for them. Alex pre-walks the route, pulls the options worth trying, and you spend the session choosing between good things instead of digging through bad ones.
Prefer not to shop at all? Hand over the list and the budget and Alex does the whole run solo. You try everything at the studio or your place, keep what works, and returns get handled for you.
The route leans hard on op shops and local labels, because that is where the value is. Half of what we buy clients costs under forty bucks and looks better than the $200 version.

Alex does the walking
Six years of retail floor experience means Alex can scan a rack in thirty seconds and pull the three pieces worth touching. Fabric knowledge from the studio side means nothing cheap and nasty slips through either.
