Hello Subscriber

Remember when you were little, and your mum whisked you into the city to go shopping at DJs? The thrills! The excitement! The standing around waiting while your mum tried on half the store! This weekend, turn the tables – invite mum to join you on a visit to David Jones’ glamorously refurbished Bourke Street store.

From this Friday to Sunday, DJs is putting on fashion parades, art shows, workshops and cooking demos as it celebrates the completion of its $100 million makeover. Take your mum and join in the fun. Tell her to wear comfy shoes, though: DJs has magically added 11 brand new floors to the store. So much to try on!
