Pros
- Duties Paid for Australian Orders: Prices include GST and import duties for Australian delivery, Standard Tracked shipping is free from AUD 1,000 (AUD 40 below that), and Afterpay covers orders up to AUD 2,000.
- Markdowns You Can Check: On 26 October 2026 about 5,300 in-stock pieces showed a typical markdown of 25 percent, and a Jacquemus Large Bambino sat at AUD 895 against a listed AUD 1,690, the price Jacquemus charges in Australia.
- A Registered Company With Press Coverage: Mark Foys Department Store Pty Ltd (ABN 63 691 218 489) has held an active ABN since September 2025, and its 2026 relaunch was covered by Inside Retail, Ragtrader and The Sydney Morning Herald.
Cons
- Mark Foy's is built mainly for Australian shoppers, with prices shown and charged in Australian dollars only, and while its shipping settings include the US, Canada and the UK, overseas delivery fees appear only at checkout, so price the full order, currency conversion included, before comparing it with a local store.
- Change-of-mind returns cost AUD 30 per item plus an AUD 95 customs fee on orders over AUD 1,000, so returning a single item from such an order costs AUD 125 in fees, which makes it worth checking the measurements and size chart, or asking customer care about fit, before you order.
The Verdict
What sets Mark Foy's apart is that it revives a Sydney department store name from 1885 as an online-only outlet for European designer labels, shipped from boutiques in Italy and France with Australian duties already paid: The Foy brothers opened their first drapery in 1885, and the Piazza store on Liverpool Street traded until 1980. Mark Foy, a descendant of the family who spent decades in Sydney real estate, relaunched the name online in May 2026 with seven staff and no stock of its own: about 9,900 listings from Prada, Gucci, Valentino, Saint Laurent, Miu Miu and Jacquemus ship from partner boutiques in Italy and France, with each piece quality-checked at the company's European consolidation hub. The operator, Mark Foys Department Store Pty Ltd, holds an active ABN, publishes full terms under New South Wales law, and the relaunch was covered by Inside Retail, Ragtrader, The Sydney Morning Herald and Broadsheet. Prices are in Australian dollars and include GST and import duties for Australian delivery. In our 26 October 2026 read of the catalogue the typical in-stock markdown was about 25 percent: a Jacquemus Large Bambino was AUD 895 against a listed AUD 1,690, the same figure Jacquemus charges in Australia, a Saint Laurent Lou Camera Bag was AUD 2,200 against AUD 2,950, and a Prada Re-Edition 2005 Shoulder Bag was AUD 3,325 against AUD 3,500. Standard Tracked delivery costs AUD 40 below AUD 1,000 and is free from AUD 1,000, Priority Express is AUD 60, and Afterpay covers orders up to AUD 2,000. The reservations are real. The store only launched in May 2026 and its Trustpilot profile had no reviews on 26 October 2026, so there is no independent record yet on delivery or refunds. Change-of-mind returns cost AUD 30 per item, plus AUD 95 on orders over AUD 1,000, and original shipping is not refunded. Buyers in the US, Canada and the UK pay in Australian dollars with delivery quoted only at checkout, and handbags arrive with a branded dust bag but no authenticity card. Our advice: compare the price with the brand's own Australian site, read the measurements and size chart before ordering, keep your confirmation email, and pay by credit card or PayPal for the added buyer protection.
Designer Bags, Shoes and Clothing From European Boutiques, Duties Paid for Australia
Mark Foy's is the online-only revival of the Sydney department store the Foy brothers founded in 1885, whose Liverpool Street Piazza store closed in 1980 and is now the Downing Centre. Mark Foy, a descendant of the founding family and a former Sydney real estate agent, relaunched it in May 2026 through Mark Foys Department Store Pty Ltd (ABN 63 691 218 489, active since 23 September 2025), with seven staff, email-only support and a listed address at Level 57, 25 Martin Place, Sydney, a Servcorp serviced-office address. It holds no stock itself: about 9,900 listings from Prada, Gucci, Valentino, Saint Laurent, Miu Miu, Burberry, Jacquemus, Moncler and others ship directly from partner boutiques in Italy and France, and the store says it works only with authorised, verified brands and boutiques.
Prices are in Australian dollars, and every listing shows a sale price under a store-listed full price; in our 26 October 2026 read of the catalogue the typical markdown on in-stock items was about 25 percent and the deepest about 64 percent, short of the site's "up to 70% off" headline. Examples: Jacquemus The Large Bambino Bag AUD 895 (listed AUD 1,690, matching Jacquemus's own Australian price), Saint Laurent Lou Camera Bag AUD 2,200 (AUD 2,950), Prada Re-Edition 2005 Shoulder Bag AUD 3,325 (AUD 3,500), Gucci Jackie 1961 Medium Shoulder Bag AUD 4,465 (AUD 5,000), Miu Miu Arcadie Handbag AUD 4,227 (AUD 4,450), Burberry Kensington Long Trench Coat AUD 2,925 (AUD 3,900), Moncler Amnicon Field Jacket AUD 2,137 (AUD 2,850) and Golden Goose Super-Star Sneakers AUD 902 (AUD 950). Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, PayPal Pay in 4 and Afterpay (up to AUD 2,000) are accepted, and newsletter sign-ups are offered an extra 10 percent off a first purchase.
Weekday orders placed before noon are dispatched within 48 hours; Australian metro delivery then takes 2 to 5 business days by Priority Express (AUD 60) or 6 to 10 by Standard Tracked (AUD 40, free from AUD 1,000), regional areas up to 12, by DHL Express, UPS, FedEx or Australia Post, with a signature over AUD 1,000 and no PO boxes. The store is aimed at Australian buyers, but its shipping settings list the US, Canada and the UK among 28 destinations, and its policy quotes up to 12 business days abroad with fees calculated at checkout, sends US orders duties-paid but warns customs may ask US buyers for an EIN or SSN, and says other destinations may owe import duties. Listings give the composition, country of manufacture, brand style ID and, for bags, measurements, and handbags come with a branded dust bag but usually no designer box or authenticity card.
Change-of-mind returns must be requested within 14 days of delivery, unworn with tags, seals and packaging intact, and cost AUD 30 per item plus an AUD 95 customs fee on orders over AUD 1,000; original shipping is not refunded, one return request is allowed per order, Australian addresses get a prepaid DHL label, and refunds follow inspection at the European hub, typically within 5 to 10 business days. Faulty or not-as-described items are covered by the Australian Consumer Law, and no separate store warranty is published. The independent record is still thin: the Trustpilot profile, claimed in April 2026, had no reviews on 26 October 2026, we found no ProductReview.com.au listing, Reddit threads or BBB file, and ScamAdviser's automated check rates the site very likely safe while noting low traffic and no reviews on major sites.
Mark Foy's: what to know before you buy
Mark Foy's is the 2026 online revival of a Sydney department store name, selling European designer fashion in Australian dollars. Here is how its shipping, returns, sizing and pricing work before you order.
Shipping, returns & warranty
Mark Foy's ships each order from a partner boutique in Italy or France. Weekday orders placed before noon are dispatched within 48 hours, and Friday-afternoon to Sunday orders within the next 1 to 2 business days. Australian metro delivery takes 2 to 5 business days by Priority Express (AUD 60) or 6 to 10 by Standard Tracked (AUD 40, free on orders of AUD 1,000 or more), and regional areas up to 12. Orders over AUD 1,000 need a signature, PO boxes are not served, and Australian prices include GST and import duties.
Outside Australia, the store's shipping settings include the US, Canada and the UK, but prices are charged in Australian dollars, delivery is quoted at up to 12 business days and fees are calculated at checkout. US orders are sent duties-paid, though customs may ask for an EIN or SSN; other destinations may owe duties on arrival.
Change-of-mind returns must be requested within 14 days of delivery through the returns page or [email protected], with items unworn and all tags, seals and packaging intact; shoes and accessories need their original boxes. Each item costs AUD 30 to return, orders over AUD 1,000 add an AUD 95 customs processing fee, original shipping is not refunded, and one return request is allowed per order. Australian addresses get a prepaid DHL label, and refunds go to the original payment method after inspection, typically within 5 to 10 business days. Underwear, swimwear and final-sale pieces are returnable only if faulty. Faulty or not-as-described items are covered by the Australian Consumer Law, return shipping included; no separate store warranty is published.
Mark Foy's product lines
On 26 October 2026 the catalogue held about 9,900 listings, roughly 5,300 of them in stock, across women's and men's clothing, handbags, shoes, accessories, jewelry and a small kids' range. Prada is the largest label, followed by Gucci, Valentino, Saint Laurent, Miu Miu, Balenciaga and Burberry, with Jil Sander, Fendi, Givenchy, Chloé, Bottega Veneta, Loewe, Jacquemus, Moncler, Maison Margiela and many others behind them.
In-stock prices ran from AUD 510 to AUD 17,512, with a middle price of about AUD 1,645, so this is a store for investment pieces rather than everyday basics. Handbags are the best-known part of the range: The Sydney Morning Herald reported that the first sale was a Jacquemus Le Grand Bambino, and Broadsheet that the Saint Laurent Lou Camera bag has been especially popular.
The store does not hold stock itself; each piece ships from a partner boutique or distributor in Europe. At checkout you can also save a purchase to a free Resellify digital wardrobe, which can later list it on second-hand platforms if you decide to resell.
How to choose a designer piece at Mark Foy's
Start with the listing details. Mark Foy's product pages give the composition, the country of manufacture and the brand's own style ID, and bag listings add width, height, depth and strap length. Where the brand sells online in Australia, searching that style ID on its own site shows the current full price, so you can judge the markdown for yourself.
Next, work out your total. Orders under AUD 1,000 pay AUD 40 for standard delivery, while orders over AUD 1,000 ship free but carry an AUD 95 customs fee on a change-of-mind return, so returning a single item from such an order costs AUD 125 in fees.
Finally, know what arrives in the box. Handbags come with a branded dust bag, plus brand tags and care cards as supplied by the brand, but usually no designer box and no authenticity card, which the store says is normal for multi-brand retailers. Keep the order confirmation, and if anything arrives damaged, incorrect or not as described, contact [email protected] straight away; the returns form asks for photos of each item as received.
Sizing & fit
Mark Foy's publishes one general conversion chart for all designers. Women's ready-to-wear runs from EU 34 to 44 (IT 38 to 48, AU and UK 6 to 16, US 2 to 12), with bust, waist and hip measurements for each size; EU 38, for example, is an 88 to 92 cm bust, 68 to 72 cm waist and 94 to 98 cm hips. Men's runs from EU 44 to 54 (AU, UK and US 34 to 44, XS to XXL), and shoes from EU 35 to 41 for women and EU 39 to 45 for men.
The store notes that fit varies by label: it says Prada and Givenchy tend to run small, Bottega Veneta and Balenciaga generous, and Saint Laurent and Valentino true to size, and it suggests sizing up when you are between sizes, especially for structured blazers and tailored trousers. Where a listing gives exact measurements, use those first.
Because a change-of-mind return costs AUD 30 per item, check fit before you buy. Our clothing size converter at /tools/clothing-size-converter/ and shoe size converter at /tools/shoe-size-converter/ translate between US, UK, EU and Australian sizes, and customer care answers fit questions at [email protected].
Deals & pricing
Every Mark Foy's listing shows a sale price under a store-listed full price, and its slogan is "Always iconic, always on sale". In our read of the catalogue on 26 October 2026 the typical markdown on in-stock items was about 25 percent, 15 items were 50 percent or more off, and the deepest cut was about 64 percent, below the up to 70 percent the site advertises. Some current icons were only about 5 percent off, such as the Prada Re-Edition 2005 Shoulder Bag at AUD 3,325 (AUD 3,500 listed) and one Miu Miu Arcadie Handbag at AUD 4,227 (AUD 4,450 listed).
Where we could match a style code to the brand's own Australian site, the listed full price lined up: Jacquemus charges AUD 1,690 for The Large Bambino, the figure Mark Foy's shows above its AUD 895 sale price, and Miu Miu's AUD 4,950 for a cognac version of the Arcadie matched the store's listed price for that version. Even so, compare the final price with the brand's site and other Australian retailers before you buy.
New newsletter subscribers are offered an extra 10 percent off a first purchase; we found no other public code. If you have a specific piece in mind, set a price alert on our Watchlist at /watchlist/ and check again before big sale events such as Black Friday on 27 November 2026.

Mark Foy's: questions people ask
Straight answers about Mark Foy's, then how this review was written and stays independent.
Is Mark Foy's legit?
Yes, it is a registered Australian business, though a new one with no customer review record yet. Mark Foys Department Store Pty Ltd (ABN 63 691 218 489) has held an active ABN since 23 September 2025, publishes full terms and a Sydney address, and its 2026 relaunch was covered by Inside Retail, Ragtrader and The Sydney Morning Herald. Its Trustpilot profile, claimed in April 2026, had no reviews on 26 October 2026, so there is little independent evidence yet about delivery and refunds.
Is Mark Foy's reopening in Sydney?
Not as a physical store. The 2026 revival is online only at mark-foys.com, and founder Mark Foy told Ragtrader in May 2026 that physical retail is not part of the short- to medium-term plan. The original Piazza store on Liverpool Street closed in 1980 and has housed the Downing Centre courts since 1991. The new business is run by Mark Foys Department Store Pty Ltd, a company registered in 2025.
What is Mark Foy's return policy?
You can request a change-of-mind return within 14 days of delivery for unworn items with all tags, seals and packaging, but it costs AUD 30 per item, plus an AUD 95 customs processing fee on orders over AUD 1,000, and original shipping is not refunded. Only one return request is allowed per order, Australian addresses get a prepaid DHL label, and refunds reach the original payment method after inspection, typically within 5 to 10 business days. Faulty items are covered by the Australian Consumer Law.
Does Mark Foy's ship to the US, Canada or the UK?
Its shipping settings include all three, but the store is built for Australia. Prices are shown and charged in Australian dollars, international delivery is quoted at up to 12 business days, and shipping fees are calculated only at checkout. The policy says US orders are sent duties-paid, though customs may ask US buyers for an EIN or SSN, and other destinations may owe import duties on delivery. Refunds are made in Australian dollars, and exchange-rate differences are not reimbursed.
Are Mark Foy's products authentic?
The store says yes: every item is brand new and comes only from authorised, verified brands and boutiques, and each piece is quality-checked at its European consolidation hub before shipping. Items do not come with an authenticity card, and handbags usually arrive with a branded dust bag but no designer box. We could not independently verify the supplier list, so check the brand style ID on the listing, keep your order confirmation and pay with a method that offers buyer protection.
Does Mark Foy's have a discount code?
We found no public code beyond the welcome offer: new newsletter subscribers are offered an extra 10 percent off a first purchase. Every listing already shows a sale price under a store-listed full price, and the typical in-stock markdown was about 25 percent when we checked on 26 October 2026. To catch a lower price on a specific piece, set a price alert on our Watchlist.
Is this Mark Foy's review sponsored?
No. Mark Foy's did not pay for this write-up, see it before publication, or have any say in the verdict. If we earn anything it is a commission after you buy, and it comes out of the merchant’s margin rather than your price.
How was the Mark Foy's assessed?
By using it and by checking the claims made about it against what it actually does. Where our time with something has been limited, the review says so rather than implying more testing than happened.
What else have you reviewed in Style & Fashion?
Everything in Style & Fashion sits in the review library, where you can filter by budget and sort by rating, price or how recently it landed.
Do you update reviews after publishing?
Yes — when a product changes, when a price moves for good, or when we get something wrong. Corrections are made on the piece itself with a note saying what changed.
