Where did we begin?

Eckersley’s began over 40 years ago, in 1965, with its first store in Prahran, Melbourne that was started by two Eckersley’s brothers known as “N.S. Eckersley’s Pty Ltd”. Its success led to expansion around the country.

In 2005, five new retail stores called The Art n Craft Store were launched, which were then re-branded as Eckersley's in November 2007. Around the same time, more stores in Canberra were acquired called The Art Store and The Craft Store. In June 2008, these ACT stores were also re-branded as Eckersley's, bringing the current total to 22 Eckersley’s stores around Australia.
