Cream On Crown

This store has a real country flair to it. Some brilliant soft leather pieces were found inside. There was dyed leather as well of red, and light browns, green. There were a great range of mens checked shirts and you could really pull off a neat Conntry Swaveness from shopping here. I like the ranch look especially the hat and boots that tell the story. It can be fun to have at least one ranch inspired piece in your wardrobe. I loved the leather bags that were available. Worth the look, it’s like a store you’d find at the markets but better, especially if you’re into Rockabilly (guys ahem) Everything is great quality, you know it will last a lifetime if cared for.

Cream on Crowns sits pretty amongst the many other vintage and second hand stores on Crown Street in Surry Hills.
Selling recycled and re-​designed clothing, Cream on Crown has many similarities to its Newtown sibling, Cream on King. In fact, the two stores hardly differ at all, except that Cream on Crown’s sunglasses stand is far less grand than that of the King’s.
As for its stock, many of the dresses are same same — beautiful, but if you’ve bought one from there within the last two years, chances are that the one you wish to buy next time will be exactly the same cut and style, simply made from a different fabric. Whilst I’m a fan of knowing what you like and what’s right for you, I had to stop buying from King and Crown Creams when I realised that a majority of my wardrobe was made up of the same dress in different colours.
Aside from dresses, Cream sells plenty of vintage cowboy boots which are still in pretty good nick (although I’m always certain to check for slippery soles) and a bunch of guys flannies, sleeves pre-​rolled.

Great clothes — summery dresses, high waisted shorts, jewellery and cute bags. A must-​visit for all you shopaholics out there.

Ever taken a stroll down Crown Street and wondered where the hipster population is sourcing their vintage lace-​up grandma boots and reconstructed cowboy shirts? I’d put money on the fact that it’s coming from Cream.
With an equal amount of men and women’s reconstructed vintage wears, this store houses more plaid than a lumberjack convention. I particularly enjoy the refitted flannels for women, made to tie in front or expose some shoulder skin. The seamstresses have a winning formula for their summer dress reconstruction that would fit most any shape. They utilize the original styling from the waist up but remove much of the original bulkiness and the conservative length in the garment, making it a little less Grandma, and a little more Gwen Stefani.

Cream yet another of Newtown’s second hand and vintage clothing stores, but with a twist. They remake the majority of the clothes they sell and this is what makes the shop so interesting.
By remaking the clothes they sell Cream is stocking a unique range of clothes as through this restyling they are selling clothes, which you really can’t find in any other shop. They often take clothes and size them down, this gives the retro clothes they sell a modern edge so you can find clothes with a retro feel, but a modern cut.
I have been wanting a leather satchel and I found one at cream, I also bought a couple of t shirts, one was a fantastic psychdelicish red and black, I don’t know how to accurately describe it, but I’ve never seen anything like it.
