If you’re searching for a gift with purpose for mum or your someone special this Mother’s Day, look no further than The Local at Peregian Beach.
Local fashion designer Dui Cameron is the driving force and founder behind The Local and her clothing brand Boom Shankar; of course, stocked in store year round.
“Our boutiques are a thoughtful and eclectic mix of apparel, homewares, gifting, retro vinyl and so much more,” Dui said.
Step inside the boutique on the Corner of the Village square – 6b Heron St, Peregian Beach to feel the airy, happy, sunny and colourful vibe. It’s a little bit quirky and a lot retro.
Here’s four gift ideas to grab from The Local at Peregian this Mother’s Day:
1. A decadent and delicious scent from Odesse. Try them all in store.
2. A stylish bathrobe from Sage and Clare and eye mask from Kip & Co.
3. A new piece from Boom Shankar’s latest collection – or a classic pair of Guru Pants.
4. A Pottery for The Planet tea/coffee cup along with a beautiful box of Love Tea.
The Local at Peregian is like a cool breeze on a warm day, and the store is a space that has something for everyone and where everyone is welcome and vibrancy rests in the air.
It feels like a small-town beachy shop from days gone by. There is a well curated wall of vinyl and retro record players, and a unique combination of retro-esque items contrasted by some of Australia’s most well know gift and homewares brands, fashion and accessories.
The Local replaced an old “Friendly Grocer” space that had been vacant for years and has kept that relaxed and laid-back vibe that resonates with the backdrop of the beach; and importantly delivered with a warm smile.
The brands stocked evoke joy and inspire the creative within.
“We are passionate about supporting Australian-owned brands and purpose driven products that encapsulate our passion for great design, fun, and our signature touch of retro-inspired quirk,” Dui said.
You’ll find a huge range of gifts to choose from in store, with popular brands like Boom Shankar, Kip & Co, Sage & Clare, Dinosaur Designs, Lorna Murray, Jones & Co, Fazeek, House of Nunu, Pottery for the Planet and Love Tea.
General manager of Boom Shankar and The Local Retail Stores, Liv Mills, says The Local has been warmly received and has quickly become part of the community’s fabric.
“It’s definitely evolved over the two years since we opened as we continue to hone in on our intention of product diversity within our offering and to integrate a sense of connection with our Byron Bay store that opened in April 2024,” Liv said.
“We’ve recently had a beautiful colour injection to our fit out and newly built cosy nook to house our growing offering of soft furnishings, cushions and bed linen.”
And, of course, The Local carries the full range of Boom Shankar each season – always adding a punch of colour and vitality.
“It’s always nice for our retail team to offer up the local success story of Boom Shankar to visitors in store,” Liv said.
“Our Head Office recently re-located to offices upstairs in the Village, so it’s quite unique to have a store close by for Dui to pop in and spread some good vibes and colour on her way up to the office – usually unable to resist the opportunity to play dress ups with shoppers instore.”
Find The Local Peregian at 6b Heron St, Peregian Beach. They’re open Sunday-Thursday 9am to 4pm and Friday-Saturday 9am to 4.30pm.
