Steampunk.au is Australia’s home of steampunk — a vetted marketplace of independent makers, plus a hub for events and community. Every shop here is run by a real Australian creator, hand-picked and approved before they open.

Independent Australian makers, artists and traders. Each storefront is its own maker’s shop — you’re buying directly from the person who made the piece, not a faceless warehouse.

Browse the marketplace, open a shop that catches your eye, add what you love to your cart and check out. Many sellers, one easy checkout.

Yes. Payments are processed by Stripe, a world-leading payment provider. We never see or store your card details.

Each maker posts their own creations, so times and costs vary by shop. Many pieces are handmade or made to order, so allow a little extra time. See our shipping page for the full picture.

Your rights under Australian Consumer Law always apply, and many makers accept returns beyond that. Because pieces are often handmade or one-of-a-kind, change-of-mind returns are at each maker’s discretion. See Returns & Refunds.

Every shop has its own contact details — email, phone or WhatsApp — on its storefront and contact page. Reach out any time; makers love hearing from people who appreciate their work.

No account is needed to browse or buy. You can also become a free community member to be part of the wider steampunk world — events, makers and news.

Tell us about your craft and we’ll build you a beautiful steampunk storefront. It’s $100 one-time setup + $25/month — less than the cost of a single day’s festival stall, open every day of the year. Start at Open Your Stall.

Not at all — that’s the whole point. Send us your details and we’ll make it. No web design, no software, no technical knowledge. We design and assemble your storefront by hand so it looks its best.

Absolutely. However you’ve got your stock — a photo of a handwritten inventory, a spreadsheet, a catalogue, or even your Facebook page — send it over and we’ll build your catalogue for you.

Yes — every build includes three rounds of changes. Once your storefront is ready, tell us what to tweak (colours, wording, images, layout) and we’ll refine it until it feels like yours.

The essentials: your shop name, what you make, the style and colours you like, a logo, and your products (with photos). The more you share — your story, a hero image — the more characterful we can make it.

$100 one-time setup, then $25/month for your stall. The setup builds and styles your shop and uploads your products; the monthly keeps your storefront live and supported.

Many of our makers do both. Your year-round shop here is the perfect companion to your festival stall — customers who meet you at an event can keep buying long after the gates close.

Your shop takes payments securely through Stripe, and you fulfil and post your own orders — you stay in control of your craft and your customers. We’re here to support you the whole way.
