Chosen to inspire and stimulate, Eva Galambos presents her carefully handpicked collection, in the same way the talents at the traditional Parlour intended to do.

"It's not just about the clothes" emphasises Eva "it's about creating that 'parlour' feeling of 'openness'. Allowing every woman who enters the shop to totally express her individuality." The philosophy continues right through to the expert team who provide a superior service in the store. "Our parlour is in an environment where every 'guest' can be educated with product knowledge and can discover everything she needs to know about each designer and each brand" comments Eva "and she's welcome to spend as much time as she likes in the 'boudoir lush dressing rooms we have created to give every girl that feeling of being in their own bedroom!"

Freedom of expression is embraced across the eclectic, precisely selected ranges on offer. Everything intends to have a point of difference. "It's not about basics at Parlour X it's about pieces". Pieces carefully chosen, to be the highlight of any girl's wardrobe, each admired for it's originality, shape, fit and fabric and with the reassurance of 'relative exclusivity'. Parlour X stocks certain international brands exclusively in Sydney and in Australia with limited stock of each piece. Other brands, and more often than not, have minimal overlap with other retailers.
