About Us
Where Luxury Finds New Life
At Encore La Chance, we believe fashion is more than just clothing—it’s an investment in timeless style, sustainability, and individuality. Since 1987, our boutique has been a trusted destination for fashion lovers seeking authentic, high-end designer fashion with a sustainable edge. As one of Paddington 4064’s longest-running businesses, we take pride in being a true community icon.
Owner Maureen Kearns purchased the business in 2002, continuing its legacy with the support of our dedicated team, including Sandra Toomey, Molly Lowry, and our long-term helpers, Pat and Marina, who have been with us for over 12 years. Together, we bring an expert eye for quality, authenticity, and designer fashion trends, ensuring every piece meets the highest standards.
Many of our items are brand new with tags—purchased online from high-end retailers but never worn—finding their new home with the help of Encore La Chance. This makes it possible to access designer fashion without the hefty price tag. Whether you’re searching for luxury workwear, a standout race day outfit, or the perfect Mother of the Bride look, our experienced team is here to help you find your next wardrobe essential.
