Kind Curations.

Kind Curations is the considered little lifestyle boutique at the heart of Cornerstone Stores in Tugun, on the southern Gold Coast. Founded by local Kasey, the shop runs on a simple, generous philosophy — “nice things for nice people” — and it shows in every corner. This is a calmly curated, coastal-influenced space of natural fibres, soft palettes and objects chosen with real care: contemporary fashion, homewares, ceramics, fragrance, books, jewellery and gifting, gathered from labels you won’t find on every other rack. Tucked into the boutique precinct at 570 Gold Coast Highway — directly opposite Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary — it’s the kind of shop you wander into for a card and leave with a whole new wardrobe staple, a hand-thrown mug and a candle for a friend.

The fashion offering is genuinely well-edited, spanning women’s and men’s clothing, swim, footwear, eyewear and accessories. You’ll find sought-after labels including Paloma Wool, St Agni, AGOLDE, Matteau, Hunza G, Kowtow, Deiji Studios, Baina, Le Bon Shoppe and Lady White Co., alongside hard-wearing favourites like Patagonia, Carhartt WIP, Gramicci and OrSlow. Swimmers from Hunza G and Matteau, sunglasses from Velvet Canyon, and easy everyday pieces sit beside the store’s own in-house line, Kind by Kind Curations. The range rotates with the seasons and with what the team falls in love with, so there’s always something new to discover — well-made, ethically minded, and chosen because someone here genuinely wanted to wear it or live with it.

Beyond the clothing rails, Kind Curations is a treasure trove of homewares and gifting. Hand-formed ceramics from makers including Kim Wallace Ceramics, Kleyn Ceramics and Kelly Bignell Studio share shelves with glassware and candles by Maison Balzac, woven pieces by Mayde, Baina towels, Toyo Steel toolboxes, and a beautifully chosen wall of books and magazines spanning design, fashion, photography and cookery. Home fragrance — candles, incense and room sprays — fragrance for the body, jewellery, vases, planters and sculptural objects round out a homewares offering built for both everyday living and thoughtful gift-giving. Complimentary gift wrapping is part of the deal, and the team are always happy to help you find exactly the right thing for the right person.

Golf lovers, this one’s for you. Kind Curations is also home to The Golf Shop — a tightly curated corner for the modern player who cares as much about how they look as how they swing. Expect elevated apparel, headwear and accessories from labels like Manors, Metalwood, Walker Golf, Angus & Grace Go Golfing and the sun-smart performance pieces from OROS. It’s golf style with a design sensibility, the same considered eye that runs through the rest of the store, and a genuine point of difference on the southern Gold Coast.

Don’t forget your four-legged friend. The boutique stocks a lovely little range of pet goods — considered accessories for dogs who appreciate the finer things — which suits the wider Cornerstone precinct beautifully, as the whole courtyard is proudly dog-friendly. Bring the pup, browse at your own pace, and make a morning of it.
