Moore’s Department Store has a deep history, first established in 1914 (but officially opened in 1916) on the grand streets of Adelaide, and was known for its commitment to craftsmanship and elegance - a trio of art, beauty, and commerce. We honour that legacy with a modern twist, bringing you a curated selection of clothing and accessories that celebrate both the timeless and the contemporary.
While our heritage is rooted in the storied past of Moore’s, we are not a continuation of the original business. Instead, we pay homage to the quality, design, and customer experience that made the name Moore’s a household staple for decades. Discover a range of styles that are inspired by the past, but made for today.
The original Moore’s Department Store at 241-259 Victoria Square - known as Moore's on the Square - was a beloved icon in Adelaide, known for its grand architecture and a shopping experience that was unmatched in its day. From the elegant central staircase designed by William Lucas to the expertly curated departments, Moore’s was synonymous with quality and style.
Now, we bring you a new chapter. While we are inspired by the craftsmanship and values of the past, this Moore’s Department Store is a modern brand, built on the same ideals of timeless quality and service. We don’t claim the legacy of the original, but we celebrate the spirit it embodied—one of elegance, attention to detail, and a passion for fashion that transcends trends.
Join us in reimagining the legacy of Moore’s, where classic meets contemporary, and where every piece tells a story.
At Moore’s, we believe in the enduring beauty of well-made clothing. While we look to the past for inspiration, our focus is firmly on creating pieces that stand the test of time. Our collections reflect the elegance of yesterday and the innovation of today, offering you clothing that’s made to last and designed to inspire.
We take pride in our heritage, but we want to be clear: Moore’s Department Store today is a fresh take on a time-honoured tradition, paying tribute without pretending to be the same. Our goal is to create a shopping experience that reflects the values of the past while catering to the needs of today’s discerning customer.
