Some items are already here, and some yet to arrive so make sure you call us on (02) 9361 0220 to inquire about your favourite.

At Alfie’s Friend Rolfe, we know we are onto a good thing when people come back to buy multiples of something they already have…be it in another colour, a different fabric or even the exact same one that is so good you need two.

Beau 5 by Beau Coops, Navy Blue leather $335

This is exactly what has happened with the BEAU 5 ankle boot from BEAU COOPS. These first appeared in our store in the Autumn months of 2010 and have since become so essential that you need more than one pair. I speak from experience!

Beau 5 by Beau Coops, Black Suede $335

Why are they so good? Well…lovingly designed Australia, and then beautifully made in Italy…you really do get the best of both worlds with Beau Coops. They are so stylish and go with everything from shorts to a party frock, but the best part is the comfort. It’s why you need more than one pair.

Nice heeled boot by Beau Coops, Moss suede and leather $370

This Autumn, we’ve added a slightly higher heeled friend to the Beau 5…and we think they will be snapped up as quick as ever! In fact, I think I can hear you running here now!

All Beau Coops styles shown above are now available at Alfie’s friend Rolfe until stock lasts. See ya!

Candles are fabulous, aren’t they? The smell good, they look good, they make us look good (everyone looks WAY hotter by candlelight, right?).

If all candles are fabulous, then the amazing candles (amongst other things) from DL & Co will really make you rethink what fabulousness is really all about. You’ll be in candle heaven.

Hailing from Los Angeles, DL & Co is best described by their by-line which is ever present under their name…Modern Alchemists And Purveyors Of Curious Goods. I can imagine their headquarters is part mad scientist’s laboratory, part mad taxidermists workshop…full of oddities and gothic curiosities, with beautiful and unusual smells emanating from boiling beakers and test tubes. Doesn’t sound very LA, but hey if the shoe fits…

We have some of their amazing candles instore (as pictured), much to our delight. They make the perfect Christmas gift…especially for yourself! If you could smell them through the computer screen you would be in virtual heaven…

Smell you later!

We are so excited to introduce a new label to our repertoire this season…another little Aussie gem to sit alongside our other wonderful Antipodean labels…say hello to SOMETHING ELSE by Natalie Wood.

This brand has been on our radar for ages…it’s one of my favourite labels, and so we thought it’s time to get it instore once and for all so I can just buy it here, at my favourite store! Once you see what is here, you will understand…Its brilliant, and I want one of everything.

With unbelieavable prices (nothing over $190!), machine washable fabrics (take THAT dry cleaners!), amazing colours (loving the Rust and Teal), and perfect styles of dresses, skirts, shirts and shorts for Summer fun, I think we’ll all be wanting a something more from Something Else.

All styles above from the Something Else Summer 2011 Collection in collaboration with Ken Done (the 80′s artist…you know the one) now available at Alfie’s Friend Rolfe…until it lasts!! Call us on 02 93610220 for phone orders, or better yet…come and visit!! AFR xx

There’s nothing like Spring sunny days to make you look out the window and dream of being outdoors, leisurely soaking up the sun…sigh. Never fear, the weekend is nigh.

And there’s no reason to not look good whilst enjoying the weather, so if you’re in need of some new casual summer gear…look no further than the NEW ARRIVALS from THE ACADEMY BRAND.

As per usual, THE ACADEMY BRAND (formerly known as The Academee) dishes out the perfect summer wardrobe of easy casual looks at a great price (from $59.95 – up to $139.95)…think simple summer blazer, perfect slim shorts, your new favourite boardies, light-as-air tees, and everything in between.

All these items and much much more now available at Alfie’s Friend Rolfe…get The Academy Brand while it’s hot (even hotter than the model in the pics;)).
