We are a ladies fashion store catering for all ages.

Since 1998 we’ve made it our business to deck out every single person who walks through our doors with the freshest footwear from all the biggest brands. But we reckon life goes beyond shoes. We believe it’s what you do in them that truly counts. We’re for the ones who dance harder, sing louder and don’t care what anyone else thinks. Platypus. GET YOUR KICKS! At Platypus, we don’t try to be anything but who we are; we're an avenue for you to tell your story whether you’re a trend setter, trend follower or an individual. We value your ability to create your own personal style. Housing an extensive collection of iconic global brands, we pride ourselves on stocking the latest and greatest footwear and apparel. Our ranges are carefully selected so you can find a treasured iconic style or a newly engineered silhouette. With a team that walk and talk sneakers and a store base of over 150 locations spanning Australia and New Zealand, you're sure to find your perfect pair.

Since 1996, we’ve designed our unique accessories in Melbourne, for women who value individuality, collectability and quality—and who love to dress up. Our accessories are designed so that you can make a statement—how and when you make it is up to you. We’re committed to empowering all women, and to harnessing our creativity into addressing our challenges and working towards a more sustainable future. We’re proud to have worked with many highly-skilled partners for over a decade; they allow us to dream up our incredible collections.
