A lovely Gesture

Gesture is a beautiful word, meaning a “sign”, “signal” or “nod”. With a “nod” towards days gone by, Gestures is also the perfect name for a gorgeous second-hand shop located on Bay Street, Port Melbourne.







Gestures specialises in pre-loved delights such as crockery, jewellery, glassware and other charming bric-a-brac items. This unique specialty store was an unexpected discovery and every time I jog past there is always something new and eye-catching in the window. The favourite so far has been the china polka-dot teacups and saucers.

  2. This has to be my very favourite shop to find that special gift at a very reasonable price.
    Gestures used to be in St Kilda and is sadly missed by many. However it makes a trip to Port Melb worthwhile!
    The service with a smile is first class from the owner who has expert knowledge of her wares, offers great advice and is willing to do repairs and adjustments to fit.
    Go --see and buy!
