Andrew Scawen is the proud owner and operator of Mitchell McCabe Menswear, located in the heart of South Melbourne, Australia. The store has been located at it’s current premises for 123 years, and we recently had the opportunity to go into the world behind the historic store for gentleman and those alike! The 8-minute short documentary was produced over a 5 month period, from August to December 2024 — and shares the story of how an incredible small business like Mitchell McCabe can have such a lasting impact on so many people over the stretch of generations.

Customers can find a variety of clothing pieces, accessories and footwear in a kaleidoscope of colours, shapes, patterns, sizes and styles. Ultimately, I set out to create this documentary because I simply love the store, it’s incredibly beautiful to both enter, and admire, when browsing the items available on display and especially the fixtures & fittings of the heritage store.

South Melbourne is a historic inner-city suburb just 2 kilometers south of Melbourne's CBD, known for its Victorian-era architecture, vibrant culture, and attractions like the South Melbourne Market and St Vincent Gardens. Originally called Emerald Hill, it has evolved from its working-class roots into a sought-after area with trendy cafes, diverse dining, and a thriving arts scene.
