L'Ermitage

L'Ermitage is at 243 Glebe Point Road. It's a store selling vintage clothes, accessories and ephemera, and is run by the lovely Grace, who gave up a career in advertising and now owns two shops, the other being in Byron Bay. It has a huge and carefully chosen selection of vintage dresses, shirts, shoes and bags, and quirky details: a 1950s kitchen flanked by an old-fashioned pram, a green scooter with flat tyres bearing its precious cargo of an empty whisky bottle, and a stupendous collection of gloves displayed in a cascade.
