Embrace the whimsical, carefree aesthetic of Byron Bay and the world-renowned fashion icons that were born here by foraging for treasures to return home with at our pick of the top Byron Bay shops.<\/h5>\n

When planning a trip to Byron Bay<\/a>, it never used to be about the shopping. The beaches, the rivers, the surf, the nature, the beautiful walks and the waterfalls of Bundjalung country in the Northern Rivers of NSW<\/a> were always the greater appeal. But in recent times, things have changed. Shopping in Byron has started to stand up on its own. There are so many locally grown brands (that have always been there) and other Australian newcomers that have made Byron Bay their home.<\/p>\n

The shopping scene is not only better than ever before but quite inspiring as well. From wandering the main streets of town \u2013 Marvell, Jonson, Fletcher \u2013 to heading out into the Arts and Industry Estate and Habitat, or into the hills, there are many wonderful options. From clothes to furniture, op shop goods to surfboards, homewares, and flowers\u2026 there is something for everyone.<\/p>\n

We have collated a selection of our top picks in the best shopping areas in Byron and surrounds<\/a>. This is by no means an exhaustive list, it\u2019s just a few to get you started. We encourage you to use it as a starting point to find your own shopping treasures as you go.<\/p>\n

Shops in Byron Bay town<\/h2>\n

Vintage, consignment and op shops in Byron Bay<\/h2>\n

There are a few wonderful op shops and consignment stores to check out in and around Byron. Here are our top three.<\/p>\n

21. Global Ripple, Byron Bay<\/h3>\n

A not-for-profit store with all monies raised going back into the community. Expect to find very high-quality donations sold at good prices at Global Ripple<\/a>. Unfortunately, the shop\u2019s original premises in the Byron Art and Industry\u00a0Estate\u00a0were burned to the ground in a fire back in December 2022, so the charity shop\u2019s new home is just down the road, next to Bunnings, on Grevillea Street. This is not a church-run op shop, but a private charity that raises money for a whole host of other charities.<\/p>\n

\"shoppers

Shopping at Global Ripple is a great way to give back to the community.<\/p><\/div>\n
