I get lots of artist drawing books and guides here, have shopped here since the mid 2000's. Always quality items, not too overly expensive, and loads of books.
The no discount policy is a little bit unusual, but even when the staff are a little bit rude when the furniture has been sitting a long time and not willing to take any real discount.
Staff were lovely and helpful. Found a few items I bought and pretty happy with it. Would definitely come again if I’m ever in Melbourne next. I wore the pants and shoes I got the next day, which was great as I didn’t bring ideal Melbourne season clothes .
Very kind lady... cheap stuff, Vintage store... books, accessories, second hand presents, etc
I love the manager at this venue. She's groovy and I love her big glasses. People might complain that prices are sky high, fine go elsewhere. These place's have to pay sky high rents as well.

About this shop
South Melbourne Community Chest is a long-running Bank Street opportunity shop with a traditional mix of clothing, books, art guides, accessories, gifts and occasional furniture. Recent shoppers generally find the prices reasonable, although furniture discounts are not readily negotiated. The real distinction is local impact: op-shop revenue funds annual grants for nearby community groups, and the Community Chest says it has distributed almost $2 million since the shop became its main fundraiser in the 1980s.
