Our Story

When we see ourselves through the prism of custodianship of the land & all its creatures, we are at our best.

On Valentine's Day 2015 a rustic little shopfront in rural Castlemaine opened its doors for the first time.

Founded on the desire to connect people with the work of local makers, contributing to a global shift away from corporate, mass produced consumerism towards conscious, ethical, sustainable living.

Connection to Nature is our foundation. Marveling at her beauty, tending and protecting her. Working creatively with her.

We bring you the creative work of over 50 artisan makers, many local, many overseas keeping traditional craft skills alive, ethically and sustainably.

We source homewares and useful things, tried and tested by us, so we can all tread more lightly on the planet.

We collect an assortment of natural craft materials and useful tools to inspire and enhance your own creative journey .

And for our little people, a careful selection of natural, handmade toys, with woodland folk and faeries connecting them to Mother Earth through imagination and play.

The value of connecting with Nature inspires everything I do. That connection comes when you make or own something handmade with natural materials, and when you make conscious decisions to buy natural alternatives.  

I hope you enjoy your journey with Tribe,
