Black Dog Emporium
Kim and Thea, founders of Black Dog, share a passion for saving decorative, unique and useful items, which they rescue and restore to give a new life in their shop — and hopefully in your home. Visit this cave of delights in the Parade Shops to explore an eclectic selection of furniture, decorative items, vintage and pre-loved fashion and more.
Kaizen
Kaizen stocks a large selection of Japanese knives, Konro grills, Japanese tableware, a variety of ingredients and a dedicated BBQ section, perfect for cooking up a delicious Japanese feast in the open air this summer. Find them next-door to Black Dog in the Parade!
