Heathcote General Trader - Merchant of Handpicked Home Goods

HANDPICKED HOME GOODS AND APPAREL FOR SLOW LIVING

Welcome to the Heathcote General Trader, your destination for thoughtfully curated clothing and homewares that combine style, sustainability and purpose. Nestled in the heart of the renowned Heathcote wine region in Central Victoria, we take pride in offering unique, high-quality items that elevate everyday living.

Our store is built around a simple philosophy: your home should reflect your values and be filled with beautiful, functional pieces that stand the test of time. With a focus on sustainability, we handpick many items that are ethically sourced, made from recycled or eco-friendly materials and crafted with care. We believe that the items you use every day, whether for cooking, cleaning or decorating, should be both functional and beautiful.

FEATURED IN COUNTRY STYLE MAGAZINE

Our Tooborac home is featured in the November edition of Country Style Magazine. The story celebrates the simple rhythms of country life, the way we live, decorate and create.

Just ten minutes from the store, our home reflects the same ethos that inspires everything we do: natural materials, timeless design and a slower, more intentional way of living. It’s a space where old and new meet, where nature finds its way indoors and where every corner tells a story.

HANDMADE POTTERY

Locally sourced and handcrafted pottery from around the world that brings an artisanal touch to your home. Each piece is unique, celebrating the beauty of slow craftsmanship.

CLOTHING FOR A SLOWER LIFE

Garments made to last, crafted from breathable natural fibres in classic, versatile cuts. Pieces to live in, season after season.

HOUSEHOLD ESSENTIALS

We believe even everyday tasks deserve beautiful tools. Our range of well-crafted, sustainable household items makes chores feel less like work and more like an opportunity to appreciate quality design.

ONE-OF-A-KIND PIECES

From unique decor to limited-edition fine art, we’re dedicated to offering items that add character to your home and reflect your personal style.

CURATED WARES & HOUSEHOLD PROVISIONS

Rooted in the vibrant community and natural beauty of Heathcote, our store is inspired by the landscape around us... its shifting light, earthy palette and quiet rhythms. We are guided by a deep respect for nature, traditional craftsmanship and the belief that a well-made object can bring meaning to the everyday.

At Heathcote General Trader, we specialise in natural textiles and enduring home goods that speak to a slower, more intentional way of living. Our carefully curated collection includes pure linen, organic cotton and handwoven fibres, all chosen not only for their beauty and function, but also for their minimal environmental impact.

We invite you to explore our collection in-store and rediscover the quiet joy of living simply, sustainably and with intention, without ever compromising on style.
