Zinc is a family-run business based in Melbourne, Australia. With over a decade of collecting and curating vintage, we have developed a clear focus and identity centred around Australian fashion — Australian designers, Australian archival pieces and Australian-made garments.

Every piece is hand-picked by us, with a focus on quality, provenance and a genuine connection to the clothing we sell. We believe vintage clothing is more than something to wear; it is a way to explore the people, design and stories that have shaped Australian fashion.

Today, you can experience Zinc in three different ways — online, at our Archival store in Melbourne CBD, and at our Brunswick store.

Online

Our online store is a deeper dive into Australian fashion history. Each chapter tells a story, exploring the diverse range of Australian fashion — from elevated basics and everyday vintage to Australian designers and bold archival pieces.

It is a space to discover pieces from across different eras and styles, celebrating Australian fashion and giving these garments the opportunity to live again.

Zinc Australian Archival — Melbourne CBD

Opened in 2026, our Archival store is a small and intimate space dedicated exclusively to Australian designer clothing.

Located at Level 8, Suite 18, 37 Swanston Street, Melbourne, the store specialises in Australian designer pieces from 1992–2006.

Alongside a carefully selected range of Australian designers, we specialise in the work of Akira Isogawa and Collette Dinnigan, with a particular focus on pieces that reflect their distinctive contribution to Australian fashion during this era.

Each garment is selected for its design, quality and place within Australian fashion history, offering a more focused experience for those looking to discover truly distinctive archival pieces.
