ONLY the Harry and Zayn dolls are left in Chapel St’s pop-up One Direction shop, 1D World.
In the latest example of Melbourne’s One Direction mania, the boy band has opened a temporary shop in South Yarra.
Young fans lined up for hours before the opening on Saturday, and screamed when they saw they could buy 1D dolls ($50), T-shirts ($30) and hooded windcheaters ($70).
The shop is billed as having the “greatest array of official One Direction merchandise under one roof in the world’‘.
But by Sunday afternoon the only dolls left in the South Yarra store were Harry and Zayn, with the mini versons of the other band members all snapped up.
Fans were happy to fork out for posters, photo sets, wristbands, photo frames, phone covers, bags and notebooks.
Shoppers tweeted about their shopping spree, some saying it “was so worth the camp out’‘.
Hannah Horan said it was the “best day of my life’‘.
The shop follows in the success of the Pitt St, Sydney store that was during the band’s visit last month.
1D World will be open until Sunday, May 27 at 576 Chapel St, near the Jam Factory.
Trading hours are Monday to Wednesday 10am-6pm, Thursday and Friday 10am-9pm and 9am-6pm on weekends.
