11 of the best boutique shops in Orange

Your guide to shopping at the boutique shops in Orange and surrounds.

The romantic city of Orange is a top spot to engage in a bit of retail therapy. Be it a one-stop wine shop where you can have a tipple or two, a cutting-edge fashion boutique or a quirky antique store, here’s where to shop in Orange and its surrounds.

1. The White Place

Refresh your home and wardrobe with a visit to The White Place, where you can pick up everything from curated homewares, cushions, rugs, furniture and art to a diverse collection of clothing and jewellery.

Dedicated shopaholics can also stay at The White Place, with two self-contained houses available to book. Both houses are furnished in The White Place style and better yet, everything inside the house is available for purchase, from the bed you sleep in to the outdoor furniture.

Address: 100 Byng St, Orange

2. JUMBLED

This vibrant concept store is for design nerds, interior addicts and fashionistas. JUMBLED is housed in a charming, renovated Masonic Hall, which was built in 1864 and is all beams, exposed bricks and hardwood floors.

Grab a coffee as you wander the racks of colourful clothes and shelves of bright homewares, while taking in the shop’s personality. The staff are all passionate and willing to offer a helping hand whenever it’s needed.

Address: 33-35 Sale St, Orange

3. Mary and Tex Curious Emporium

Elsewhere in Orange, you will find the Mary & Tex Curious Emporium, which was built on the back of the success of the store House. Owned by – you guessed it – Mary and Tex, the unique furniture, homewares and lifestyle store is carefully curated to provide inspiration for homeowners.

Get good and lost in the wall decor, clocks and prints, shop for sleepwear, socks and undies or simply browse the kitchen section for pretty egg cups or patterned spatulas.

Address: 187 Summer St, Orange

4. The Corner Store Gallery

The Corner Store Gallery is located in a heritage building that was once a corner store. As any besotted art lover will tell you, the gallery, established in 2014, is a top spot to pick up an original work for your wall or a porcelain cup or vase for a souvenir.

The renovated gallery brings together both emerging and established artists and designers from all over Australia who specialise in a diverse range of mediums. Through exhibitions, workshops and community events, the gallery provides a platform for artists to showcase their work and connect with audiences from near and far.

Address: 382 Summer St, Orange

5. Martha’s Food and Home

There’s an inventive selection of artisan wares on offer at Martha’s Food and Home (previously called The Essential Ingredient Orange). Get a slice of Orange at this gourmet grocery store, which offers artisan products such as Marzano fig paste, Fish River Roasters coffee, triple-cream cheeses and paella burners.

As of 1 July 2024, Martha’s became independent and rebranded as Martha’s Food and Home. But rest assured, this much-loved Orange shop has the same owners and the same stock the locals trust, just a different name.

Address: 145 Summer St, Orange

6. The Bower

Another stunning Millthorpe local, you could spend days exploring The Bower, housed in a large shed off the main street. Look for the vintage car in Victoria Street and you’ll spot The Bower’s distinctive barn doors.

Address: 15 Victoria St, Millthorpe
