Let’s be honest, most blokes would rather mow the lawn twice than step foot in a shopping centre. But tucked away on Edith Street in Wynnum is a little gem that might just change their minds.
Sonny Jim isn’t your average menswear shop. It’s more like stumbling into your stylish mate’s shed, if your mate had a thing for brass details, timber shelves and curated gear from over 40 Aussie brands. There’s grooming stuff, hats, jackets, John Lennon shirts, enamel mugs, old school board games and leather wallets that don’t fall apart after six months. Basically, all the good stuff. Even the socks are cool.
It’s the brainchild of Karen, a local who spent years in retail and decided men deserved better than daggy chain stores and souls sucking change rooms. So she built the kind of shop that makes you feel welcome, even if you’ve just ducked in last minute for a birthday gift and end up walking out with a jacket you’ll wear for the next decade. Just a space for fellas who want to look good.
So if you’ve been meaning to visit Wynnum, here’s your excuse. Swing by Sonny Jim, pick up a gift that doesn’t feel like an afterthought and maybe even treat yourself while you’re at it.
