On Longland Street, Newstead, Kleio feels less like a boutique and more like a story unfolding. Founded by sisters Danielle Kallis and Nikki Mollo, the space draws on their Greek heritage to bring the warmth and romance of the Mediterranean to Brisbane. Inside, every piece – whether a flowing dress, intricately stitched blouse, or timeless accessory – is curated with intention, designed to be treasured for years to come. Beyond fashion, Kleio is about connection: a place where shopping is personal, memories are made, and slow fashion reigns. A boutique that feels both intimate and worldly, Kleio is Brisbane’s own Mediterranean escape.

For those drawn to elegance in its most considered form, Astille is a study in timeless design and quiet confidence. In the heritage arches of Brisbane Arcade, designer Sallyanne Astill curates pieces with purpose — tailored dresses that skim the body, silk blouses that shift with the light, and French-inspired cuts that feel as though they’ve always belonged in your wardrobe. Each garment is ethically made, cut to last, and grounded in craftsmanship that favours intention over impulse. Here, clothes are made slowly, to be worn often, and to hold their place in your story long after the season has passed.
