Lifeline West End

Racial profiling in West End Lifey is probably the lowest experience one could have... ...then you remember Lifeline forces anyone they give food vouchers, to use Woolies only ... not ALDI or their own choice which'd at least not be double rewarding the corporates creating poverty... along with meaning more food for the person ... then you look at Lifey stats which show racial delineations on suicide and mull on racial profiling impact on yeself and others even more disenfranchised... like the hella struggle with suicide for First Nations... (LifeLine website 'Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people die by suicide at rates 2.5–2.6 times higher than non-Indigenous Australians') And wonder what's the point in charity that upmark the price of the nice clothes they get for free so people who can't afford nice clothes absolutely cannot have em...but gentrified can still....say it's for food vouchers - which gives Woolies extra profits... and also racially profiled BrownWomen.... 🙄 Best bit was when he said I was disturbing the other customers, and he was not going to serve me...this because I asked the other white females if they were told about discounts or rules on being in store/change rooms All said discounts, not rules on changerooms... not one said I was disturbing them- actually two said what I had experienced was racial profiling and needed a complaint. ... I pointed out the double down on racial profiling with refusal of service said everything. Anyways hope the dollars I spent goes to other Blak folk who want to die because of the daily things like this that are totally down to conscious/unconscious prejudice and racial criminalising and profiling ... cos we know we can't undo the bigger systemic things like Woolies making money off Lifeline vouchers, and Lifeline wilfully making pretty clothes unaffordable to cycle donation funds to Woolies food vouchers.... 🥴 & yes I've asked for this to be changed...

Nice variety of stuff and some great vintage peices but for a store claiming to encourage a vintage revival I suggest doung further research rather than tagging tops from shien for $15. Yes its great to resell it because clothes deserve to be worn, little less great to charge people more than the items bnwt purchase price, makes people so much less likely to buy secondhand!

I picked up a shirt off the rack, and saw it was $25. Another shirt, $25. A pair of pants, $45 🥴😥 Put them all back. What's the point of an op shop if it's cheaper for a person on Centrelink to go to Kmart?

I have been shopping here for over 3 years. It’s a weekly ritual. The brands are great including Country Road/Sheike/Cue/Peter Alexander/Kookai/Nine West/ Basque/Zara/Decuba/Wayne Cooper/W.Lane/Ben Sherman/Seed/Nike/Adidas/Steve Madden and many more. They certainly don’t disappoint. The staff are consistently well mannered, kind and always helpful with an honest opinion. They treat everyone with respect and care. The kind that you really value. I haven’t had a negative experience in over 3 years. Which is a very rare gem 💎 If you’re looking for kitchenware, this is your spot. Everything is very clean and well maintained some still in original packaging. From head to toe you are covered and they have a strong accessories game - hats/socks/jewelery A Wedding & Formal section with many being brand new & with original tags. The shop has a great selection of vintage finds as well. The prices are wallet friendly so you definitely save money which is a blessing for all.

Very friendly staff, things are organised pretty well and there’s no musty smell! High quality items are marked as such and there’s a vintage section upstairs. I would say this is one of the more expensive Lifelines I’ve gone to. Range includes fitness gear, men’s and women’s tops and bottoms, shoes, belts, accessories and soap. I bought myself a cute embroidered shirt but didn’t manage to find much else. Most clothes are in the 12-16 range but there are some clothes smaller and larger.
