About reads

Reads was established in 1976 by Mary Read.

Located on the corner of Queen and Spicer Streets in Woollahra, one of Sydney's most beautiful shopping villages, reads is more like a small department store than a boutique.

There are over 50 designers represented. If you want a snapshot of Australian fashion as well as highlights of specially chosen imported labels from the UK, Italy, France and New Zealand, reads is the store for you.

Clothing is complemented by an eclectic but concise range of accessories including shoes, handbags, scarves, one-off jewellery pieces and belts.

Reads is committed to providing quality products, individualised service and professional advice.

Our philosophy is to make your shopping experience as pleasant and successful as possible. After all, that's the way we like to shop too.

You can also shop at reads at Reads Online.

Reads Online is a snapshot of Australian fashion as well as specially selected and imported labels from the UK, USA, Italy, France and New Zealand. Our selected range is complemented by a concise and well-chosen collection of accessories including shoes, handbags, scarves, jewellery pieces, belts and gifts.
