A Collection created in collaboration with Australian Artist, Michelle Turner🩀

Created in collaboration with Australian artist Michelle Turner, Old Port is a new collection of mugs inspired by a special place to the Gordon family - the small Victorian coastal town of Port Albert.

Featuring Michelle’s detailed illustrations of a Mud Crab, Trout and Mackerel, the collection looks back on days spent fishing, exploring and growing up by the water.
Michelle Turner is an Australian watercolour artist based in Yeppoon, on Queensland’s Capricorn Coast. Working from her Cape-Cod inspired cottage, Michelle’s work reflects her love of Australian wildlife, and waters surrounding her home.

THIS IS NOT OK.

Unfortunately, today we’re sharing something we should never have to share.

This footage shows the person in the pink jumper taking a handbag from our Allenstown News store and leaving without paying for it.

We are a local business. We employ local people, support our community and work incredibly hard to keep a great range of products on our shelves. Having someone simply decide they’re entitled to walk in and take something that doesn’t belong to them is both infuriating and incredibly disappointing.

Retail theft is not victimless. It hurts small businesses, our staff and, ultimately, our customers.

The incident and relevant CCTV footage are being provided to police.

If the person involved sees this post, we strongly encourage you to do the right thing and return the handbag or come into the store and pay for it. Or if anyone knows this person, we would greatly appreciate their name to add to the police report.

To everyone who continues to support Allenstown News, treats our team with respect and chooses to shop local — thank you. We genuinely appreciate you.

And to those who think stealing from a local business is acceptable: it isn’t.

Home isn’t built by the things we own. It’s built by the moments we create around them.

Morning coffee in your favourite mug. Long lunches with friends. A table shared with family. A quiet cup of tea at the end of a busy day.

The new Ritual collection is designed to celebrate those moments, with beautifully crafted dinnerware, serving pieces, mugs and teapots that bring warmth and character to every table. Paired with the timeless elegance of our new Anais cutlery collection, it’s made for homes that are lived in, loved and shared.

Because the best memories are rarely made in a hurry—they’re made around the table.
