Our Story

Life should be full of moments that make sweet memories.

Where it all began

Little Cactus opened its doors in Mc Adam Square, Croydon in 2017, the dream of founder Sharee. With a great eye for design and a love of colour and styling, Sharee created a shop that locals came back to again and again for Australian labels, beautiful homewares and the perfect gift. Over eleven years she built something really special, and a loyal community to go with it.

From Loyal Customer to New Owner

Hi, I'm Narelle, and in September 2026 I became the new owner of Little Cactus.

You might already know me from the other side of the counter. I've been a Little Cactus customer for eight years, and it has long been my go-to for a new outfit, a birthday present or "just a little
something" for the house.

I've lived in the area for the last 25 years. I'm married and a mum to three girls. For most of those years my life has revolved around school pickups and everyday mum life, I worked part time for a local candle company Frankie Gusti for the last 7 years. Now that the girls are getting older, it felt like the right time to do something for me. So, I'm
taking on my first business, and I couldn't think of a better one.

A huge thank you to Sharee for trusting me with the shop she built, and for making the handover so easy.

What won't change

Everything you love about Little Cactus is staying. We'll keep hand-picking Australian designers and labels that care about how their clothes are made, alongside the homewares, gifts and kids' pieces that make the shop a little treasure trove. I've always believed in shopping local and backing local makers, so that's here to stay too.
