I noticed that the city store had a limited selection, especially in smaller sizes like S, which were not available. While there were no discounts, the prices were still slightly more affordable compared to those in China.

Fortunately, there’s also a Columbia store nearby, offering great value for money. The two stores are conveniently close, so it’s easy to visit both. At Columbia, I found a fantastic jacket priced over $200, but unfortunately, they didn’t have my size (check out picture 4). It was truly a standout piece!

To round off our shopping spree, we headed to Lululemon to pick up some tank tops. Lululemon was bustling with shoppers, reinforcing the idea that these are the go-to spots for fashion and gear in Sydney.
