The Summer Sets Letter
A letter from The Avero Melbourne Family · A family boutique
Melbourne, Victoria · October 2026
A letter from the familyThirty-Five Years of Dressing Women. Before We Close, This Is the Set We Could Not Stop Smiling At.
A lobster across the front, a little French on the hem, and a fit made for a long afternoon with a glass of something cold. If you are only going to add one thing to your summer, we would make it one of these sets.
Avero Melbourne began as a family boutique, built on a simple belief: what you wear should feel effortless, and it should still feel like you. For thirty-five years we have dressed women who value understated style, quality and comfort over trends. Understated, yes. But we have never thought that meant dull.
This is a hard letter to write, so we will say it plainly. After thirty-five years, our boutique is closing, and this is our final summer collection. We wanted to spend what is left of it on the pieces that make us smile, and nothing has made us smile quite like this one.
When the box was opened, we laughed out loud. A great red lobster, printed across the front of a soft coral shirt, with a little white confetti scattered around it. On the sleeve and the hem, a script ribbon that says homard, which is simply the French word for lobster. It looks like the best sort of holiday, and it comes with matching shorts.
It is part of our Summer Sets collection, thirty-two coordinated sets in all. There are six things we would tell you about them, in the order we would point them out if you were standing at our counter.
A print that starts conversations
Look at the close-up photo below. The lobster is bold and a little bit cheeky, printed in a rich red on coral, with that script ribbon along the sleeve and hem. It is the kind of print that makes the person next to you at the café lean over and ask where you found it.
MT★★★★★“Lovely quality for the price. It fits comfortably and looks very nice on. I've already had a few compliments.”
Margaret T., Brisbane, QLDCustomer review
A matching set, ready to wear
No hunting for something to go with it. Each set arrives as a coordinated pair: a shirt with shorts, a shirt with pants, or a tee with shorts, in colours chosen to go together. Put it on, and you are dressed from head to hip in one go.
SB★★★★★“I ordered two pieces and I'm very happy with both. The styles are flattering and easy to wear with what I already own.”
Susan B., Perth, WACustomer review
Soft, easy and made to move
A loose, relaxed cut in a soft fabric with a gently crinkled weave. The sets are made for all-day comfort, to move with you from a beach walk to a long lunch to a slow evening, without anything pinching or pulling.
LS★★★★★“My order arrived nicely packed. The fabric feels soft and the colour is exactly what I wanted. Thank you!”
Linda S., Sydney, NSWCustomer review
Machine washable, and it stays soft
The sets are machine washable, and they are made to keep their shape and softness wash after wash. You can wear them hard all summer without worrying about special care.
PR★★★★★“Everything arrived in good condition. Comfortable fit and very easy to style. I'd be happy to order again.”
Patricia R., Canberra, ACTCustomer review
Thirty-two sets to choose from
Shirt and shorts. Shirt and pants. Tee and shorts. Names like Xyla, Isla, Nova, Soleil, Marjorie and Kylee, each in its own colours and print. Most come in every size from Small to 5XL (US 6 to 20), at one price, with a size chart on every product page.
Free shipping, and a family you can write to
Shipping within Australia is free. And if you have a question, you can write to us at help@averomelbourne.com and a real person will answer. We are a family boutique, not a warehouse.
HW★★★★★“Such a nice piece. Easy to dress up or wear casually. I love how it sits and it doesn't feel tight anywhere.”
Helen W., Adelaide, SACustomer review
Our sets, against the ones you have been buying
You can find a summer set for eighty dollars almost anywhere, and most of us have one or two that never quite got worn. Here is the difference, laid out plainly.
- A plain print that looks like everyone else's
- A top and bottom that almost match
- Fabric that clings in the heat
- A fit that stops at XL
- Shipping that costs extra
- No one to write to when it is wrong
- Bold prints that start conversations
- Shirt and bottoms coordinated as a pair
- Soft, easy fabric made to move
- Small to 5XL at one price, on most sets
- Free shipping within Australia
- A family boutique that answers every email
A good summer is one you can dress for in a minute and still feel wonderful in at the end of the day. That is why we would put this set in your hands first.
Why our final summer sets are 70% OFF
We are closing after thirty-five years, and this is our final summer collection. Rather than leave it on the racks, we have marked every one of these thirty-two sets at 70% off, and the more you take, the more you save.
Stock is limited, and when a set sells out in your size, that is the end of that one. The sets go back to $267.00, and once the boutique closes, these prices go with it.
Extra discounts stack automatically at checkout. Take four or more and each set comes to around $55.97. We make almost nothing at that price, and that is on purpose.
We believe getting dressed should be simple, but powerful. We would far rather these sets went to women who will wear them than sit unworn when we close our doors.
The Avero Melbourne Family · A family boutiqueThank you to every woman who has been part of our family boutique's story. If you are going to add one thing to your summer before it ends, this is where we would start, while your size is still here.
