Atlas Divine

Beautiful clothing & accessories store in Leederville
Huge range of formal & casual clothes, shoes, sunglasses and jewellery for both men, women and even babies!
The prices vary greatly and around sale time you can usually find a real bargain!
The staff are really friendly and helpful and if they don’t have your size in stock can normally order it in!
They are one of the only places around that stock my favourite «salt water sandals» from the US.

Someone stole my wallet last year and went on a shopping spree here, spending quite a bit of money on my card in separate transactions using pay wave. When I realised and contacted my bank, they told me to go to the store and ask for receipts and security footage if they had any. I went to the store and after waiting for a good 10 minutes at the counter while 3 staff stood to the side chatting and giggling, I was told that the machines were out of receipt paper and that their security camera’s weren’t working on the day. I would have been ok with that response but the lady had to add that I should be more careful with my personal belongings and it was not their responsibility to provide me with a receipt. What I don’t understand is why the sales staff didn’t query someone separating the transaction into 4 payments using the same card. The place looks like a very nice store and somewhere I could see myself shopping cause it’s so local, but because of that unfortunate experience I don’t think I could reason going back.

I usually walk straight past Atlas Divine, as the window displays always look way out of my price range, and honestly a bit too funky for me! Thankfully, I took a leap of faith and went inside, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised.
I was looking for an outfit for a special event, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, picking out heaps of outfits they thought would suit me. I have never had that experience before and felt super fancy and special as I was handed outfit after outfit by the excited and enthusiastic staff. So fun! They offered their honest opinion about clothing I wasn’t really sure about, and gave me heaps of great tips on how to style the clothes I was going to purchase. A far, far cry from the sullen inattentive hipster shop assistants that I’m used to.
Another really refreshing aspect about the store was their music, no inane radio stations here! Fun and eclectic mix of tunes, ranging from Beyonce to The Cramps. Love it.
The prices were not toooo bad, but being a part time student on minimum wage I usually exclusively buy things that are on a clearance rack, so I fear Atlas Divine might have to be just for special occasions.
The only thing I could criticise is that the air conditioner doesn’t get through the thick curtain of the fitting room, so it does get a bit stuffy when trying stuff on. However, the lovely staff compensated by providing cold glasses of water, so it wasn’t an issue for me.

I love this shop most for it’s unconventional design. It’s long and narrow and arranged with elegant, vintage wooden wardrobes and cabinets that display all the merchandise. The shop always appears to be brimming with trinkets and colourful garments, like a lush overgrown garden.
In threads there are things for girls and guys, for most budgets and occasions — beach, bar, BBQ and even a few frocks that would wear well to a ball.
If you can’t find your size or colour, make sure you ask one of the friendly and stylish staff because they usually have extras stocked away in overhead cupboards.
The accessories are on the mark too; jewellery by Disney Couture, interesting men’s metalware, Karen Walker sunglasses and Bec & bridge Akubras.

Atlas Divine, is one of those little, amazing, quaint, vintage looking shops that keep popping up. There are quite a few in the likes of Fremantle or Northbridge, but even the city and its surrounds. These are my favourite kind of shops.
Some of them are quite similar, and some are quite over priced, and because Atlas Divine isn’t like that, I love it all the more. I can actually afford most of the things in there. It has an amazing range of jewellery and don’t even get me started on the clothes.
I am such a fan of this store!

Prepare to pick your jaw from up off the floor after you walk into this store. One of my favourite clothes shops in Perth, there is no way in hell that you won’t find a dress in here that you will want to wear everyday for the rest of your life. However some of the prices mean you will probably have to work the rest of your life to be able afford to buy some of their garments regularly. Be prepared to be filled with joy over the fact that you live in a world where such beautiful and original pieces of clothing exist, but then be prepared to be filled with sadness shortly after, knowing you will probably never be able to afford to buy more than one or two of the more expensive dresses in the shop in your lifetime.
There is a heap of reasonably priced stock but a lot of the dresses range from $ 300 to over $ 500. The ladies range is mostly outfits for nights out on the town, as opposed to sundresses and casual wear. However the guys section stocks a lot of day wear and street wear labels. They have a great selection of swim wear and accessories too. If you’re looking for a super special dress for a super special occasion then this should be your first stop.

Perhaps Perth is over saturated with a motley of boutiques trying to out-​do another with the grungiest get-​ups and the most authentic vintage. Take a stroll down William Street in Northbridge or explore the side streets of Fremantle and you’ll see what I mean. I’m going to let such a judgement slide with Atlas Divine, because they have a Narnia-​sized selection of jewelry, sunglasses and shoes which makes them worth visiting, if not for their range of Karen Walker eye wear alone.
If you ask me (which assume you are because you’re reading my review) just skip their racks of clothing altogether and peruse their accessories instead. Atlas has these beauitful vintage glass door jewellery cabinets, and they’ve full with unique pieces by Erin Wasson, which are just as dramatic as the store’s décor. It’s all very olde world and decadent (divine, might we say?), with gigantic floor length gilded mirrors, an antique spoon collection, not one but two pianos adorned with AD’s belts and shoes, and a gorgeous velvet chair up the back for impatient shopping companions. And trust me, you’ll be in here for a while so make use of their decadent fittings should your company not feel as enthused about their humongous collection of sunnies by ROC, Karen Walker and Someday Somewhere.
My experiences with staff are quite mixed. Sometimes they’re friendly, occasionally they’re apathetic. Seems to be the order f things in Leederville though, so one can hardly complain.

Atlas Divine is amazing from start to finish. As you walk in, a large antique cabinet full of jewellery catches your eye. Stop to take a look, and you’ll see a totally beautiful, quirky collection of sparkly things to adorn yourself with. Walk a bit further and you’ll come face to face with a rail full of flamboyant and unique party dresses that would make you the belle of any ball. Keep going and you discover a small yet delicious shoe collection, and rails upon rails of chic, interesting clothing. Just when you think it’s all over, step into the back to find a collection of mouth-​watering swimwear — I usually find swimwear to be pretty hit and miss, but Atlas Divine’s collection is most definitely a hit, with some of the prettiest swimsuits I’ve seen. Delve even deeper and you’ll discover an extensive collection of sunglasses and a rail full of glitzy, colourful clothes verging on the outrageous side. Last but not least, right at the back is a wooden cabinet full of antique silver spoons (not for sale, but cool nonetheless). Atlas Divine is full of fun, unique clothing and accessories that would suit those who like to feel like every day is a fancy dress party (wahey!). Quite possibly my favourite clothes shop in Perth.

Atlas Divine is a beautiful treasure trove right in the middle of Leederville.
The store owners put just as much effort into the look of the store as they do into the look of the clothes and jewellery they have on sale, with their stock on display in beautifully ornamented antique cabinets, wardrobes, shelves, drawer chests and vanity tables. The fitting rooms are decked out with rich velvet curtains and chaise longes, which gives you the feeling that you’re not shopping, but given the opportunity to rifle through the queen’s wardrobe and jewellery collection and try it on in her private quarters (if the queen were über-​fashionable and all her jewellery was costume jewellery!).
Matching the decadent feel of the store, the prices can be pretty steep — simple casual dresses can be priced anywhere up to $ 450/​$ 500! But there are some amazing pieces in here for both guys and girls, and if you choose wisely you can find some great investment pieces to add to your wardrobe. You’re shopping for quality instead of quantity in here!
Oddly, but fantastically, they also have an adorable range of Adidas Original clothing for babies!
