Check out the quaint stores giving Dubbo a retail facelift

Everyone enjoys a spot of shopping when they’re on holiday, and it helps when the destination has some stunning retail stores well worth your time of day. From local artisans to beautifully curated collections and even stationery; there’s so much in the world of shopping in Dubbo.

Frank & Enid

A concept store filled with modern pieces to wear and love for years to come. Shop for fashion, gifts, beauty, and all-round lifestyle pieces. The store is located right behind one of our favourite coffee spots in town, The Auctioneer, inside the historic Richardson and Sinclair building.

“Frank and Enid were born out of the need to provide purposeful everyday pieces, designed with an intention to be loved for years and years. We are proud to support both local and international designers whose offerings nod to both sustainability and thoughtful design.”

Saddler & Co

Established in 2010 the brand originally focused on hand-crafting high-quality custom saddles and repair work. Over the years, the brand evolved and transformed into the Saddler & Co we now see to with a huge range of leather products including totes and travel bags alongside the team’s original saddlery work.

Over the years, the duo has designed a unique collection of leather goods based on timeless design and craftmanship with pieces including belts, whips, briefcases, totes, bags, phone and iPad cases, book covers, knife pouches, and more.
