High on the priority list when a friend or family member travels is “Get something cute from babyGap, get me everything your bag can handle from Sephora, and anything from Zara”. You can scratch off the latter now that the iconic denim and basics retailer, Gap, is finally opening their first Australian store in Melbourne, followed by a second in Sydney.

Known for their fantastic denim variety, hard wearing basics and glossy, celebrity filled campaigns, Gap is launching in style with a microsite set up for eager customers to come to their VIP shopping events and be the first to see the new collection and store. If you make it to the Chadstone launch on opening day you’ll hear The Potbelleez and Dj Lindy Klim perform, and lucky shoppers win a Gap gift bag filled with exclusive product every hour on the hour.

Just in time for spring, you’ll be able to stock up on liberty print floral dresses, khaki military style pants and even try out the double denim trend if you dare.
