Australian by Design

This is a beautiful gift shop based in the block arcade in Melbourne Collins Street. I absolutely love the gifts they have here, havent purchase anything here lately the last I was here was when I purchased a gift for a friend abroad. They have all great Australian art/monuments for those looking for a gift for someone overseas. Its also great for Tourist looking for something to bring back home. What I like about this shop are the arts/craft sold are genuine Australian art, unlike the others stores that stock cheap made in China products labelled with Australian flags, symbols, flowers, animals. They seem to stock everything from coasters, boomerang ranging from $40 with beautiful art designs. The prices are a premium but they are genuine products that youre paying for. One of the items I had purchased in the past as a gift was an emu leather pen, havent seen anything like this in other stores, beautifully handcrafted and comes in a case.

The best gift shop in Melbourne. Australian Gifts and such friendly staff who try very hard to help you. Nothing Chinese in here!

Fantastic little shop with local, handcrafted Australiana, art and souvenirs. A refreshing change from the "made in China" shops on Swanston st. Nice staff.
