Correction (4 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources between 2 October 2026 and 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
This guide answers one question: where do you shop in Prahran if you want independents on Chapel Street and Greville Street? It covers seven places, all in Prahran, from a second-hand store to a heritage shopping centre and a short strip of Greville Street shops.
Each entry says what the place or its listing says it stocks. Hours appear only where a named source prints them, and prices appear only for the one shop whose online store listing we could read.
Every place was checked against at least two sources, including OpenStreetMap, the shops’ own sites and the Chapel Street precinct directory. Stock and hours change, so check before you walk the strip.

Chapel Street Bazaar — 217 Chapel Street, Prahran VIC 3181
The Chapel Street precinct directory, chapelstreet.com.au, describes it as one of Melbourne’s longest running secondhand, antique and retro stores. That is the directory’s wording. OpenStreetMap’s hours tag reads every day, 10:00-18:00, but we found no operator site to confirm it, so treat those hours as unconfirmed. We could not find a published price list.
Go for: second-hand, antique and retro stock, as the directory describes it.
Pran Central — 325 Chapel Street, Prahran VIC 3181
Pran Central’s site describes an elegant, historic building with three levels of retail space and approximately 35 specialty stores, plus a food court with seating for 200 customers. The site lists Monday to Wednesday 09:00 – 17:30, Thursday and Friday 09:00 – 18:00, Saturday 09:00 – 17:00 and Sunday 10:00 – 17:00. It also lists a health club on the basement level, so not everything under the roof is retail. We could not find a price list.
The strip: a single address on Chapel Street, so treat it as one stop with many shopfronts rather than a street of its own.
Greville Street shopping strip — Greville Street, Prahran VIC 3181
This strip is read here in street-number order, using only what shops and the council print. A studio listed on chapelstreet.com.au calls it the leafy creative village of Greville Street, and the council’s Prahran Square page points to a breather from nearby Chapel and Greville streets. We verified three shops at their own sites: FOOL at 118, Plant Space at 128 and Greville Records at 152. Other businesses appear in the precinct directory, but we could not confirm them at a second source, so they are left out.
Go for: the three confirmed shops in street-number order, FOOL, then Plant Space, then Greville Records.
Greville Records — 152 Greville Street, Prahran VIC 3181
The shop’s own site lists store hours of Monday to Saturday 10AM - 6PM and Sunday 11AM - 5PM. The Chapel Street directory describes it as a little record shop that has been importing and supporting independent music for over 45 years. Its site listings show new and used vinyl. We did not capture prices.
Known for: importing and supporting independent music, per the directory listing.
Evolve Skate Store — 214 Chapel Street, Prahran VIC 3181
Its site says that since 1999 it has been Melbourne’s longest running skate store, still independent. That is the shop’s own claim. The site also lists click and collect in-store at 214 Chapel St. The prices below come from its online store on the day we checked, and the site shows them for the shop floor too, so stock and prices will move. One example from the listing is the Nike SB Zoom Blazer Mid - Black / Black / White at $129.99. We could not find in-store opening hours.
Listed prices (copied from evolveskatestore.com on 2 October 2026):
- Nike SB Zoom Blazer Mid - Black / Black / White: $129.99
- Suzy Holden HR Tee - Navy: $59.99
- Patagonia Daily Crewneck Sweatshirt - Weathered Stone: $149.99

Revolution Fashionwear — 227 Chapel Street, Prahran VIC 3181
The Chapel Street directory lists it as preloved, vintage & branded clothing pieces. Its own site gives the address as 227 Chapel Street, Prahran. We could not find published opening hours or prices, so check the shop’s site before you go.
Known for: preloved, vintage and branded clothing, in the directory’s words.
Plant Space — 128 Greville Street, Prahran VIC 3181
The Chapel Street directory lists it as handmade pieces plus living creatures. Its own site prints the hours as closed Monday, Tuesday 12 - 5pm, Wednesday and Thursday 10 - 5.30pm, Friday 10 - 6pm, Saturday 10 - 5.30pm and Sunday 11 - 4pm. We could not find prices.
