Correction (10 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026.
This is a walk through seven independent shops in and around Yarraville: three in Yarraville and four in Seddon. It starts at Ballarat Street, moves along Anderson Street, then crosses to Seddon’s Victoria Street and Charles Street.
Each shop was matched at two independent sources, OpenStreetMap and the shop’s own site. Hours appear only where a source names them, and we say whose listing it is. We found no prices for any of these shops, so we print none, and we describe only what a listing states.

Sun Bookshop — 10 Ballarat Street, Yarraville VIC 3013
Start at Sun Bookshop on Ballarat Street. Its own site lists Mon to Thur 9.30am to 7.30pm, Fri and Sat 9.30am to 8.30pm, and Sun 9.30am to 5.30pm. OpenStreetMap carries the same full-week pattern, which is why we trust the hours more than most. That makes it one of the later-trading stops on this strip, if the listings hold.
The strip: The walk begins here, at the Ballarat Street end, before it moves on to Anderson Street.
Green Collective — 71 Anderson Street, Yarraville VIC 3013
Green Collective is how OpenStreetMap names the Anderson Street shop. The shop’s own site lists a Yarraville Store at 71 Anderson Street, but under the trading name Green Collect, so look for that name on the signage and the site. Hours are not printed here because we have no source for them. We have not read a stock list, so we will not guess at what is on the shelves.
Go for: Check greencollect.org first, since the site is the only place we saw the shop describe itself.
Village Idiom — 34 Anderson Street, Yarraville VIC 3013
Village Idiom is also on Anderson Street. The shop’s own site and OpenStreetMap agree on the address. We are not printing hours, because the shop’s own site labels them winter hours that may vary, and the site carries no date we could find. We have also not seen a stock list, so this entry is about where it is, not what it sells.
Known for: We cannot say from the sources we read, so use villageidiom.com.au to see what it shows.
Seddon Book Alley — 107 Victoria Street, Seddon VIC 3011
Cross into Seddon and Seddon Book Alley is on Victoria Street. Its own site lists opening hours as Friday to Sunday from 10am. The OpenStreetMap tag differs, giving Thursday to Sunday, so the two sources do not fully agree and a call or a look at the site settles it. The address matches in both places.
Go for: Books, going by the name, and a weekend visit, going by the site’s listed hours.
Far Fetched Designs — 84 Charles Street, Seddon VIC 3011
Far Fetched Designs is on Charles Street. The only hours we found are the OpenStreetMap tag, which lists Tuesday to Saturday 10:00 to 17:00 and Sunday 10:00 to 15:00. That is a community tag and may be out of date. The shop’s own site confirms the address, and we have not seen a price list.
Price point: We could not find a published price point, so check farfetcheddesigns.com.au before you go.
Born West — 80 Charles Street, Seddon VIC 3011
Born West is also on Charles Street. The shop’s own site gives the address, and OpenStreetMap agrees. We are not printing hours: the shop’s own site names seasonal trading hours that differ from the OpenStreetMap tag, so neither is a safe regular timetable. The site is the place to confirm what is open before you walk over.
The strip: Near the Charles Street run of Seddon shops, alongside Far Fetched Designs.
Annette of Melbourne — 103 Charles Street, Seddon VIC 3011
Annette of Melbourne, also on Charles Street, rounds off the walk. Its own site and OpenStreetMap agree on the address, and the site’s web address calls it couture. We are not printing hours because we have no source for them, and we have not seen prices. Contact the shop through its site to ask about visiting.
Known for: Couture, going by its own web address, though we have not read a product list.
