Mao and More
Close your eyes and imagine you're in a calm, empty room. A softly lit, minimalist Oxford Street boutique, with white walls, experimental chill out music, and just a few carefully selected willowy items hanging on a deliberately bare rack. Now multiply that by ADHD and the colour red and give it an unstable childhood and you're beginning to see what its like shopping at Mao and More.
More fun than a trip to Luna Park, and twice as epilepsy inducing, Mao and More is a store that threatens to send you back to the psychologist that you thought you were doing so well without. Its stock might best be described as "artifacts" rather than just antiques, because while it is filled to the brim with golden oldies, its modern items are just as timeless.
Rummage around and you'll find an enormous and bizarre array of often Chinese (or Chinese inspired) goodies like Foo Lanterns ($28.50), Sting Ray Wallets ($68), beautiful "Double Happiness" 3 litre Steel Thermos Flasks (from $39), 1950s Bakelite Radios ($395), Tank Commander Goggles ($38.50), real engraved Tibetan Monk skulls (from $3400) Forbidden Planet inspired robot toys, original propaganda posters, working rickshaws, vases, bamboo birdcages, and collapsible bikes ($225). And the bad to the bone Mig Fighter Pilot Helmets ($225) will contrast perfectly with the pink basket and streamers on your Harley.
