Old vault doors are the only obvious hint to the site’s former life as a Westpac bank branch, which the charity has converted into a modern retail space.James Brickwood Vinnies NSW acting chief executive Yolanda Saiz hopes the prime retail location on Crown Street in Surry Hills will provide a community hub for those in need while tapping into local demand for vintage fashion, particularly among Millennials and Gen Z.
“Young people in particular are really conscious about their shopping habits. They want to shop in places that are environmentally and socially minded,” she said. “But it’s more significant than just the commercial presence, it’s about social presence. We’re a place that people turn to for help, and we will never walk away from that.”
