Harry & Gretel

Harry & Gretel is a lovely, elegant store in the heart of Oxford Street. There is a mix of the whimsical, with the bird cages and butterflies, with the classy — as represented by the marble flooring. Their items breathe class, with their understated lines and flattering fits. While the prices are high, the items are well-​made and sometimes, you do have to pay more for quality.

The majority of Leederville’s fashion boutiques are high on my radar when it comes to updating my wardrobe. But with Harry and Gretel, I feel as though their pull power is only afforded by the collective popularity of Oxford Street as a whole. It’s full of party frocks, silky little numbers, lacy things, jangly jewellery, sky high heels and denim bum eaters which attract a crowd of girls aged 18 – 21. Last time I was there they had a huge sale on, but nothing really caught my eye and I think I left after the sales assistant walked in on me in my under-​crackers. Worth a peep but nothing wondrous.

The store is as beautiful as the clothes and accessories it houses. It sort of reminds me of a girls dressing room.
Old wooden cabinets display pretty jewellery, scarves, Peeptoe shoes, coloured leather belts and Glasshouse Candles; there is always one lit, filling the small store with toffee scents.
Racks of mainly dresses, blouses, silk shorts and skirts stock the walls. There is a lot of pastel, print, muted metallic and general angelic, femininity going on.
By and large this is sophisticated ladies, ‘dressing for the occasion’; think trendy Sunday Brunch, wine tour in the Swan Valley or Saturday night cocktails with the girls. You wont find much short, tight and bright; it’s all soft, floaty and fashion-​forward; for ladies who dress more for their friends than they do for boys.
It’s not cheap, which is a bit of a downer but I generally always find something I MUST have and skip in a fashion frenzy to the change room with a handful of items.
Avoid Harry & Gretel if you’re trying to save.

Harry and Gretel is a beautiful looking shop, big brown vintage looking doors to enter, marble floors, bright open space, with beautiful walls covered in butterflies, swirling ribbons, bird cages and array of other girly things.
The clothes are just as beautiful as the interior of the shop, with a huge range of different stylish clothing. The one big let down to this store are the prices. I mean I understand that Leederville is expensive and the clothes are amazing but it is still quite overpriced.

Harry & Gretel, whoever they may be, have made themselves a very nice little boutique right in the heart of Leederville. Stocking clothes by a variety of quality labels, Harry & Gretel is bursting with gorgeous designs. A rummage through their rails will garner a host of unique and fashion-​forward items — I’d say that usually I like the majority of their stock, which is rare for any shop. Their range of shoes in particular is great, with both heels and flats that have me frothing at the mouth (because I want them, I mean. Not because of disease or poisoning). The jewellery cabinet at the front of the store is full of fabulous and eye-​catching pieces, with lots of big dangly earrings and colourful gemstones. Definitely one of the better boutiques in Perth.

Harry & Gretel is a beautiful boutique store on Oxford Street in Leederville. The shop itself is done up really nice, with clean marble floors and the walls painted with unique pictures of fashionable ladies, bird cages, skulls, chains, butterflies and ribbons. The fitting rooms are also fabulous, with black velvet curtains, royal curtain ties and a chic black velvet bench for waiting friends and boyfriends outside.
With so much effort put into the surroundings, it’s no wonder the store stocks such gorgeous clothes to fill up the rail space! You’ll find anything from nude-​coloured work wear to casual summer brights, and everything in between. They also have a range of funky accessories — faux-​gold and silver, colourful beads, statement hats, bags, belts and sunnies. Prices can be on the high side, so be ready to dig a little deeper into your pockets once you fall in love with something in here!

Harry & Gretel adds a little high end fashion to Leederville’s Oxford St. They are a boutique that sell an array of women’s clothes, jewellery, accessories, shoes, some home wares, stationery, children’s clothes and gift ideas. It is almost like a pirates cave, filled with stolen treasures and now we have the chance to buy them back. Their clothes are from various fashion labels made elegantly with beautiful fabrics and their jewelry are sourced from experienced and acclaimed jewelry makers. Children can go in and live out their dressing up dreams in their fabulous children’s ranges, and their home wares are unique and striking.
This is the ultimate boutique, it is a great place to go exploring and uncover some hidden treasure, in the form of a dress you have been searching for or the perfect gift for somebody!
