Retail revolutionary Mary Portas maybe the reigning queen of charity shops in the UK with the recent opening of her first Living and Giving for Save the Children in Edinburgh but the Australian Red Cross has also put it’s fashionable foot forward with the opening of one9one in Richmond, Melbourne.
Nestled amongst some suprisingly decent neighbours on Bridge Road including sass & bide and Italian jean giant Diesel, one9one is a glorious mix of quality vintage and some contemporary items. While it is our most upmarket of opportunity shops in this city, it is also one of our best styled retail destinations, anywhere with clever and inventive uses of many non clothing items received as donations by the Red Cross. A Christian Dior Monsieur shirt box was part of one display but for now this is one store sadly, just for the ladies. one9one can be found at 191 Bridge Road, Richmond.

you are quick on the uptake James, this place has only been open for two weeks. To be honest one of the best things on Bridge Rd amongst the outlet shops. Very dangerous for me as its less than five minutes from where I live. I have already invested in this great photographic print dress of squirrels, lots of arbor and beetles. Love this place!

Hello James. I manage this wonderful store and would like to thank you for your kind words. It is such an exciting time for the Red Cross with many more of these fabulous stores opening all over the country.
What makes our store standout from the rest is truly the experience of just walking through the door. Style is definitely a lifestyle and when it is wrapped with a smile at 191 Bridge, you know you will be leaving looking even more fabulous.
We are opening a sister store on Brunswick Street early Feb so stay tuned.
