Where It All Began
Seventeen years ago, Coastalfunk opened its doors on the beachfront in Yeppoon, Queensland — a small but passionate store selling only our own handmade products. The salty sea air, the sound of the waves, and the warmth of the Capricorn Coast sun set the scene for what would become a 17-year journey of growth, creativity and coastal living.
Knocking Down Walls — Literally
It didn't take long before our little beachfront store outgrew itself. Fuelled by the love of our customers and a growing passion for beautiful things, we knocked the wall out and doubled the size of the shop. With more space came more possibilities — we expanded into stunning homewares and décor, curating pieces that brought coastal luxury into people's homes.
And then came the next chapter: Luxe Italian fashion. Hand-selected pieces with effortless style, quality fabrics and timeless appeal — a natural extension of the Coastalfunk philosophy of bringing the very best to the Capricorn Coast.
A New Chapter in Rockhampton
Three years ago, we made our biggest move yet — relocating to Rockhampton and tripling the size of the store. More space, more products, more of everything you love about Coastalfunk. Our Rockhampton home has allowed us to bring together all the things we're passionate about under one (much bigger!) roof: handmade candles and wax melts, essential oil blends, reed diffusers, stunning homewares, décor, and our beloved Italian fashion collection.
Made Right Here. Every Single One.
Every candle, every wax melt, every essential oil blend and every diffuser is made right here in our store — by hand, by us, with the maximum passion possible. We use only premium ingredients for the longest longevity possible, and we pour 17 years of artisanship into every single product.
We also love bringing your vision to life with custom orders. Whether it's a personalised candle for a special occasion, a custom scent blend, or a bespoke gift — we'd love to create something just for you. Get in touch to discuss your custom order.
