ABICUS

ABICUS Abicus offers unique fashion, vinyl & more, uniting music & style in Newcastle, since 2000. Their style and sound transcend time, leaving much to aspire to.

Abicus first opened its doors back in 2000 on a quiet Darby St in Cooks Hill, Newcastle. With just a crate of records, a rail of clothing, and a vision to offer unique classics and hard-to-find vinyl titles not easily available locally, the inseparable mix of music and fashion was established from day one. Fast forward 22 years, and our passionate team of 13 staff members has helped us cultivate a

n immense amount of love and respect for the magical place that is Newcastle. We feel incredibly fortunate to be collaborating with some of Australia's most inspiring and prolific designers, musicians, and artists. Beyond our selection of men's & women's apparel and footwear, Abicus is renowned for its specialised vinyl collection, an extensive range of sunglasses, and a diverse offering of music books. We consider icons like Nick Cave, Patti Smith, Stevie Nicks, David Bowie, and Jimi Hendrix to be vital and influential links between music and fashion. At Abicus, we believe the in-store experience is just as important as our offerings. We're firm believers that the right record, discovered at the right time, can steer your life's journey and become the soundtrack to your most memorable moments. While trends may come and go, quality remains timeless. Simple, essential, and classic styles can be found year-round at Abicus, along with one-off seasonal pieces. Our team is just as enthusiastic about discussing the latest Julia Jacklin record or Rolla's collection as they are about championing the incredible local bars, bakeries, coffee shops, cafes, eateries, galleries, retail stores, parks, beaches, and opportunities that Newcastle has to offer.

Abicus Notes.

The small details are often the reason something stays in your wardrobe for years.

This week we’re looking at the Buddy Herringbone Chore Jacket by Nudie Jeans.

French blue herringbone cotton, Corozo buttons and an easy oversized fit designed for layering.

Available in store and online.

Bikini Kill tour poster, Melbourne, 1996.

Fifteen-year-old Tiff took the long 15 hour train ride to Melbourne with her friend Jessica for the Summersault Festival. One of the all-time lineups. (Seriously, look it up.)

Between visits to Au Go Go Records and Rock & Roll High School, they came across a huge run of Bikini Kill posters pasted across a city billboard.

Bikini Kill were one of Tiff’s favourite bands at the time and the poster featured artwork by Rita Ackermann, so she carefully pulled one down and took it home.

Thirty years later, it’s still here. Now hanging on the wall at Abicus.

Millie’s been part of Abicus in a way that’s hard to neatly sum up.

If you’ve been in store, you’ve probably met her.
If you’ve been watching along here, you definitely have.

She brought a lot of herself into this place.
On camera, behind the scenes, and in the day to day that most people don’t see.

And now she’s taking that and building something of her own.

Her café is on the way, and it makes a lot of sense if you know her.

We’ll miss her here. But it also feels like exactly the right next step.

If you’ve ever had a conversation with Millie, or followed along with what she’s been doing, go and support her when the doors open.

We’ll share more details soon.

Proud of you, Mills 🤍
