After searching many stores for a good quality purse I finally chose to go through David Jones as the sales assistant was the most informative and helpful. It was the detailed description of how each purse had its positive and negitive aspects that made the purchase a breeze.

Ambled into the menswear section looking for a new pair of jeans. When we were unable to find the appropriate size we gestured the sales person for assistance. He looked at us, flicked his head and indicated that all stock was in front of us and choosing the right size was up to the buyer. Then he just walked off. Have been to David Jones menswear city store where staff measure and suggest alternative brands to suit. Expected a little more help.

Approximate cost: $150

As a first-class department store David Jones is always very impressive, in terms of store layout and atmosphere. This is a new David Jones and it's not packed at all, so you can browse with little people around you.
