Oscar’s Of Hahndorf

The first thing I noticed when walking into the shop was they were advertising ‘New season Paris design’ handbags… Well they weren’t any brands I had heard of and they were extremely expensive. Extremely expensive is how I would describe the whole shop. Everything from shoes, ornaments and furniture was expensive.
They had a few wine bottle holders that were extremely cool– they were people made out of crafted metal. For example, there was a Ned Kelly one. However, we found these exact items down the road for at least half the price.
There was some nice quirky items in the shop that I would of bought if I had the money. There were two little suitcases with the Union Jack on them and a lounge chair that looked like it had been made out of newspapers. These are definitely things I would buy as feature pieces for my house.

Whenever I hear the name ‘Oscar’ I can’t help but think of a certain character from Seaseme Street and his pet worm. I can not stress this enough… Oscars of Hahndorf is not located in a small metal bin nor in any other form of refuse receptacle!
One of the most refined shops in Hahndorf, Oscars is a place that you would feel very uncomfortable wearing a backpack in case you turn and knock something over worth more than your car (which isn’t actually much for some of us). Inside the store, as Elissa L has said, you will find lamps but that is really only the tip of the iceberg. There are select pieces of furniture, figurines, ornaments, bags and countless other random pretty things that will tempt you to pull out your Platinum Amex Card and give it a solid thrashing!
Even for a blokey bloke like myself, I found many things in the store that held my interest for well over 15 seconds (rare). I particularly liked the Oriental section in the back corner (My inner Ninja-​Samurai stuff).
Unlike Elissa I did not have a super friendly dude behind the counter, I had a super friendly women roaming the store who didn’t seem to worry about ‘me’ running around and touching everything! I like to touch!

If you are looking for a lamp of some description then Oscar’s is where you go, I don’t care how far away you live from Hahndorf, Oscars is where you go.
This store is like walking into some sort of church, by that I mean there is leadlight everywhere, classy, well made lead light crafted into lamps and shades. it is absolutely stunning, not cheap but fairly priced for what you are purchasing.
not only are the products beautiful but the man behind the counter is fun and friendly and he didn’t get miffed at my 2 year old niece who kept trying to touch everything which was a bonus.
it’s not a huge store but there is so much stuff in here, my favourites are the table lamps which are leadlight from base to shade, if i had a spare $ 400 that baby would be sitting on my bedside table — no matter how out of place it would look.
Oscars is one of those stores that will make you sigh twice, once for the beauty and again for the price tag.
