About Us

Run by potter and retailer, Shelley Panton, and her husband Arron Crombie. The Panton store was established in Melbourne in 2009. The store relocated to the quaint tiny town of Toora, South Gippsland in 2023.   The Panton Store is a destination store in South Gippsland that blends urban sophistication and rural charm with it's practical and well-though-out curation of products.

As a working potter, Shelley understand the value of pieces made with quality materials, care, and intention – which is why she champions small-batch makers and quality manufacturers. Based in a nearly century-old former hardware store, Shelley and Arron share the running of the business, while the pottery studio is located at the couples farm near Foster.

When Arron is not managing the online dispatch or doing a days work in the store, you'll either find him volunteering at the Toora CFA, or you'll find him in his shed making his own range of wood wares for the store, including hardwood coat racks, bootjacks, boot stands and porch chairs.

The Panton Store celebrates the art of slow living through carefully selected homewares, handmade ceramics, and artisanal goods.  

Be sure to visit The Panton Store on your next road trip through South Gippsland.
