ROYAL ORDER OF NOTHING


Royal Order of Nothing
165 Swan Street, Richmond Melbourne, VIC
03 9421 0856

When I finished sewing my samples for my first collection, Winter 12, I had no idea how or where I should approach the stores.  I asked a former work mate and a great friend who is now based in Melbourne about some of her favourite boutiques.  One of her favourites was Royal Order of Nothing in Richmond.  

They have the nicest staff members working at the store and they make you want to stay at the store for just that bit longer.

What do they stock?
They stock both Male and Female street wear/ ready to wear items.   You will find pieces that you can wear quite casually on weekends as well as pieces that are quite fashion forward and have a designer statement on it.  Jono and Taryn are both very selective about what they put in the store and this is very evident.  There is a very strong cohesiveness about the store.  The colours are all in strange harmony with each other.  Their choice of stationary and accessories compliments the clothes that they sell.  If you can’t find something you like to wear from R.O.N, you will definitely end up purchasing some little accessory or some cute greeting cards.  How can you resist not buying some cool greeting cards?  You can save them till the next time you have to go to a friend’s birthday party.  Oh and if you have kids, they also stock the cutest kids wear and toys.  

I find that it is really rare to find a store that sells cool and edgy ready to wear clothes.  There is simply no other stores quite like R.O.N.
