About Handworks

For over 30 years, Handworks has been part of Melbourne's story, bringing beautiful, high-quality stationery, gifts, and lifestyle essentials to our customers. We're a family-run, Australian-owned business, and everything you'll find in our stores has been handpicked with care. No mass-produced, forgettable stuff, just pieces that are made to last, designed to be loved, and chosen with thought.

Our two stores, in Prahran and Brighton, are more than just places to shop. They're spaces filled with inspiration, where every shelf holds something special. Whether it's a beautifully bound notebook, a heartfelt greeting card, a unique homeware piece, or the perfect gift for someone you love, we believe in finding things that matter.

Handworks is built on a love for quality, creativity, and thoughtful gifting. We believe shopping should feel personal and joyful, and that every purchase should bring a little spark of happiness. If you've been with us for years or you're discovering us for the first time, welcome. We can't wait to help you find something special.
