Trasho Mondo

Emily Adam is no stranger to second-hand clothing. She was already a veteran by the time she met Aaron Simpson at the sprawling Retropolis bazaar. When a High Street plumbing store popped up on the market, the pair went into business together and opened Trasho Mondo, which they’re calling an “inconvenience store” for its attractive, wall-to-wall aisles of ’90s and early-aughts clothing, accessories and jewellery.

That description also extends to the décor, which imitates a supermarket. Shoppers can try on gear behind a fridge door lined with fake food. The expansive, barn-like space has high windows that let natural light flood in.

In terms of contemporary makers, Japanese labels are in the limelight (Hysteric Glamour is a notable standout). Plus, pieces from I Wanna Bangkok, a queer-friendly Thai brand with designs like brat-green Hulk Boots. Trasho Mondo is a collective enterprise, and stallholders are carefully vetted for quality and affordability.

Head upstairs for artfully curated ’70s and ’80s furniture and homewares. You might find a retro tulip table, or mid-century chairs upholstered with vintage blankets – all of which exude the era’s warm, psychedelic aesthetic.

Keep an eye on the shop's socials for the monthly carpark flea market.
