Our St Kilda Boutique is CLOSING!

Image: St Kilda beach c. 1912

After over a decade providing vintage wares from the Barkly Street boutique, Velour will soon be closing its doors and leaving St Kilda.

Unfortunately the last few years have seen a dramatic change to St Kilda's retail landscape, with a slew of local independants having either thrown it in or moved to greener pastures. 

So we've decided to switch focus to provide you with an online selection - browsable 24/7 and delivered right to your doorstep.  We've made a handful of our goods available online for the past couple of years, but our website will soon have everything you once came to the boutique for, and a whole lot more.

So all of this means you should get down here quick sticks for some MEGA SALE times! Make sure you 'Like' our Facebook page to keep updated on the goings on as we wind up the last few weeks as a bricks & mortar and kick off Velour's virtual emporium.
