Acler, an Adelaide fashion business, is expanding its retail reach with a premium boutique in Sydney’s The Strand Arcade. 

Customers used to shopping for the brand online will be able to experience Acler’s craftsmanship in person, with three-dimensional draping at the forefront, as well as new product categories including bridal and jewellery. 

Acler says its entry into physical retail has been carefully planned, and the store’s design reflects the brand’s desire to directly engage with customers in stores. 

“As the brand expanded, we started seeing incredible high-profile people wearing Acler, including Beyonce and Emily Blunt, but for us, it’s always been about seeing it ‘in real life’ on people we don’t know,” said Julia Ritorto, co-founder of Acler. 

“That was one of the moments for us when we knew we had created something special.” 

Customers may interact with employees who have been trained in Acler’s fabrications, fit, and design details to discover new styles in-store monthly or order deliveries directly to their door.
