Sarca (CLOSED)

Alexis Cozzini loves the feeling of discovering a fashion find on vacation and knowing that no one else back home will have it. And that’s the vibe she’s going for at this Gold Coast boutique. The upscale women’s clothing shop is packed with exclusive lines from all over the world: Markus Lupfer (Germany), Zimmermann (Australia), Pura Lopez (Spain) and Alberto Fasciani (Italy). You’ll also find accessory and jewelry lines from British designers Jane Carr and Bex Rox as well as one-of-a-kind vintage pieces from New Yorker Randy Clare. Prices range from $198–$595, so you’re definitely paying for the exclusivity.
