Eco Living Homewares & Clothing Store

Note: This business is NOT located in Canberra.

This eclectic and unique retail store, which opened in August 2014 and is located in a beautiful seaside village approximately 1 hour south of Sydney, is now on the market to be sold.

Since its inception, the store has built a strong reputation as a premier curator of sustainable and eco-conscious homewares, artisan-made goods, and luxury French linen for the bedroom, table, and wardrobe. The focus for products has always been on quality, sustainability, ethics, and beauty.

It maintains exclusivity on a range of premium brands and is known for its beautiful, personal, helpful, and informative customer care, as well as its unique and niche products. It is a beloved, award-worthy retail destination with a loyal customer base spanning locals, day-trippers, and repeat visitors.

The store has a charming eclectic interior, with the main area a mid-century-inspired fit-out by Christopher Nicholson of Forrest Design, and is interspersed with rustic antique pieces from one of their suppliers. This mix has created a dynamic and capricious interior that is a perfect backdrop for this beautiful collection of linen, home goods, art and jewelry. Every product is selected against a clear brand promise: quality, sustainability, and ethical beauty - a positioning that has earned the store genuine trust and a distinctive place in the market.

Key strengths:

• Established brand equity: Twelve years of goodwill and word-of-mouth reputation in a high-footfall coastal village popular with Sydney visitors and locals alike.
• Exclusive brand partnerships: The business holds exclusivity on a range of premium eco and artisan brands, creating a genuine point of difference that's difficult for competitors to replicate.
• Signature interior fit-out: A striking, one-of-a-kind retail environment blending a mid-century-inspired fit-out by Christopher Nicholson of Forrest Design with rustic antique pieces sourced through supplier Orient House. The result is a dynamic, characterful space that serves as a beautiful backdrop for the product collection and a destination in its own right.
• Reputation for exceptional service: Known for warm, knowledgeable, and personalised customer care, a key driver of repeat business and strong customer loyalty.
• Niche market positioning: A curated, hard-to-replicate product mix (eco homewares, artisan brands, French linen) that sits apart from mainstream retail and appeals to a values-driven, design-conscious customer.

The owner is looking to retire and is very keen to find a motivated new owner to take the reins and continue her legacy. There is also an opportunity for additional income by continuing to sell stock at another nearby.

The business would be well suited to someone with an interest or background in design; however, this is not necessary as training on the design processes will be provided, along with introductions to suppliers and manufacturers.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire an established, beautifully branded lifestyle retail business with strong supplier relationships, a distinctive physical presence, and genuine eco-lux credentials.
