have heard those 2 are definate as well as Zara's first store. Overheard 2 men in their the other day at Cibo talking about retailers etc, they were mentioning brands such as Sass & Bide, Calibre, Allanah Hill, G Star in their conversations but did not here completely what they were talking about. Surely a list of tenants will be released shortly, not long to go. Hope BBDO Clemenger pull out their big guns for this project, theyre going to need to get people attention to pay for the construction.

If by "Zara's first store" you are referring to in Adelaide, then yes, that is possible. But if you were talking about Australia, I'm pretty sure they just opened a store in Melbourne.

sorry, ye meant in Adelaide. They opened in Sydney last week and opening in Melbourne in June.

Still pretty good for Adelaide though, being one of the first cities to get the first Zara stores in Australia, usually Adelaide is the last place stores open up in

Any word on cuisine? I thought I saw somewhere there was going to be restaurants there, doesn't look big enough for that.

bit worries bout this, the missus eyes lit up when i mentioned some of the possible new brands!

I've never understood all the fuss about "brands". Surely one handbag is the same as another whether it costs $20 or $200, so why waste money?

Um are you serious??? Quality, design, status etc

I think pushbutton was expressing his opinion that a $20 handbag probably does the same job as a $200 handbag, so why spend the extra money purely for the label (although this is a man talking here).

I know people make a lot of fuss over Louis Vuitton and Prada and whatnot, but they are seriously everywhere overseas and increasingly interstate. They all sell the same thing. There may be 10 or 20 of the same store alone in Tokyo and other major cities. What's the appeal?

^^ the $200-$2,000 product is "made with love" and probably in Italy or France with only the finest materials and are designed to last a lifetime..

The $20 product is made by slave labor in a sweatshop, with the cheapest materials and are only designed to last a short time..

well I buy my shoes from Target for $8 and people are all like "dude!! Sweet kicks! Where'd you get them?"

For starters the brands we're talking are not $200 hand bag brands, but pushing closer to the $2000 mark which significantly changes the question. Lets use iTouch's example of the $8 Target shoes. Ignoring the fact that iTouch thinks his/her friends is complementing their latest purchase of "sweet kicks", the shoes will most likely be made of poor quality synthetics constructed in developing countries in poor conditions by underpaid child workers and will probably fall apart upon thinking of putting them on, besides making your feet feel and smell bad. A $200 pair of shoes will most likely be mad of reasonable quality leather constructed in developing countries in poor conditions by underpaid child workers supervised to make sure their doing a good job and with a quality checking processes to ensure you new kicks look good, feel comfortable and last the extra mile. Why spend $1800 more? No reason really other than if your asking the question, you have your answer.
iTouch: kudos on the honesty and no hard feelings, I have fond memories of kt26s though got tired of replacing them monthly.

Go find the nearest female and have her slap you with her $200 handbag.

I think what he was trying to say, that there's really no difference between a handbag's purpose, whether it be #20, $200, or $2000.

It still holds all the trash girls lug around with them. Whatever keeps them happy, I suppose.
