London-based womenswear label LF Markey has made a ‘homecoming’ debut after the Australia-born founder Louise Markey chose Newtown to open the brand’s first Australian store. Located on King Street, the store marks the brand’s first international location after 20 years of operations in the UK. According to Broadsheet, the 80sqm venue is about a quarter of the size of the LF Markey flagship in East London. It offers the brand’s core collections, seasonal prints, and accessories.
