Charles & Keith

It’s not often that you find a chain that offers up-​to-​date fashion pieces at reasonable prices that you would actually want to buy and could pass off as a more expensive purchase. I’m not a huge fan of the shoes at Charles and Keith, but the handbags and wallets are great.
I recently made a purchase of an orange coloured shoulder bag for under $ 50 and have since received loads of compliments back home in Melbourne, with people wanting to know where it was purchased.

Charles & Keith is one of the few brands I’ve embraced since I’ve moved here. I am consistently pleased with their collections, and I love how they are very affordable. I think their retail price range is from $ 49.90 — $ 109.90, and during sales, they go as low as $ 29.90. I also love how their merchandise is up to date; when I look through magazines while getting my hair done (read: every 2 months or so) I’ve noticed that Charles & Keith always carry shoe styles that mimic what’s trending now.
This is an outlet you can take your chances with if a style is out of stock in one of the more central/​popular locations. For example, I was lusting after this particular pair for a while, and I waited a bit too long to purchase them. I was in Bugis, and my size was already out of stock. Luckily, this neighborhood C&K came to the rescue and had 1 pair left!
This store is a bit smaller than the ones on Orchard, but it gets the job done. Kind of like Forever 21 and H&M, styles sell out quickly and the collections rotate frequently, so I recommend buying pairs when you know you want them before it’s too late!
