For KOALA PORTER sustainability is a mindset and a lifestyle.

We like to consider our environmental impact in everything we do. We want to do our best to minimize waste and we are proud to support this mission and partner with Hero Packaging for our products packaging. 20% of proceeds from the sale of these sustainable and eco friendly mailers goes directly to Children's Ground, a First Nation Organization in Australia.

WHY WE CHOOSE ECO FRIENDLY PACKAGING

Switching to eco-packaging is the most viable solution to minimize plastic pollution problem.

Fashion industry businesses have a huge role to play in putting environment-friendly packaging in the mainstream. With plastic pollution growing at an alarming rate, industries need to reduce, if not completely eliminate plastic use. The environmental effects of single-use plastics don’t begin and end with waste treatment. It’s only the tail-end of the entire process that most consumers are aware of.

A certain type of packaging can cause a serious impact on the environment in every stage of its production, beginning from sourcing the raw material, manufacturing, transportation, purpose, and all the way to its disposal. As the world changes rapidly, we must adapt and reinvent better ways to solve issues we have caused ourselves.

Sustainable packaging is important because it diminishes the ecological footprint in all the product’s life-cycle steps. It supports both producers and consumers to reduce their environmental impact.

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE!

Whilst living in Paris at the start of his career, Kenzo Takada was intrigued by the works of famous French painter Henri Rosseau. One painting in particular, The Dream - depicting a jungle flora and fauna scene - inspired the concept for his first store, named Jungle Jap. He painted the walls with a floral jungle mural which became his trade mark theme alongside a new, simpler name - Kenzo. Ever since, Kenzo's jungle theme has become a constant throughout the decades and is reimagined season after season especially within the Kenzo Kids' collections!

DISCOVER PUCCI JUNIOR!

Crowned “The Prince of Prints” by the international fashion press who were smitten by his bold, new designs and radical approach to fashion at the time, Emilio Pucci was massively influential in the creation of contemporary fashion for the 1950s and the decades that followed. His fashion story began completely by chance when in 1947, he created a new, revolutionary streamlined ski-outfit for a female friend during a skiing holiday to St Moritz where she was photographed by Harper’s Bazaar.

The image took America by storm; everyone wanted to wear Pucci! His dresses, trousers and tops were constructed with free-flowing lines that followed the natural curvature of the body and gave women unrestrictive couture-style clothing without a hefty couture price-tag. Combined with his luscious use of pattern and colour, Pucci clothes were joyful, vibrant and instantly recognisable, an aesthetic that is still celebrated by the brand today.

Emilio Pucci kids clothes celebrate the Pucci message offering fun vibrant colours and geometric prints in a range of mini-me styles. From cool, luxurious sportswear, to bright leggings and pretty dresses, choose Pucci kids for a real taste of the Mediterranean and a piece of fashion history.

If you ask us, the secret to the brand’s success is the element of surprise and delight that their collections bring season in, season out. If you are shopping for your little one, the Golden Goose’s collection is a sight to behold!

We LOVE MOSCHINO!

In 1983, the eccentric clothing brand Moschino made a huge entrance. The late designer Franco Moschino put humour and eccentricity at the centre of his luxury kids collection.

Since his appointment as creative director in 2014, American designer Jeremy Scott has revamped Moschino into a knowingly playful and fiercely contemporary incarnation of the Italian luxury label that Franco Moschino founded. His eccentric designs and satirical social awareness campaigns come in a colorful clamor reminiscent of pop art and modern-day street art. Supersaturated patterns and iconic branding reinterpreted as ironic kitsch bring a much-needed dose of humor to the design landscape, while innovative techniques rev up classically cut garments and accessories. With a unique vision and a commitment to quality, Moschino continues to make a truly novel statement in the world of high fashion.

The designer kidswear collection is sleek with a street style edge encompassing tops, jumpers, sweatshirts and hoodies, dresses, trainers, and more, making it ideal for independent, adventurous kids. Light-hearted, fearless, fun: the Moschino kids’ collection is packed with personality. Spanning three decades, this celebrated Italian fashion house is loved for its playful take on clothing design, bringing childrenswear into the spotlight with vibrant prints, graphic slogans and colour-pop palettes. The collection also includes pieces that sport the brand’s iconic Teddy Bear Moschino character.

If there’s one common thread running through the Moschino Kids collection, it’s a sense of fun. While Jeremy Scott has propelled the brand’s playful design sensibilities to new heights in recent years, Moschino has actually been known for its colorful outlook since its ‘80s launch. Our Moschino Kids edit comprises the boldest, brightest styles from a label that never takes itself too seriously – and your little one will love it for that reason!

Originally conceived as an annual publication, Sporty & Rich label has steadily shifted modes from print to garment design.

Oversized crewnecks, retro sweat shorts, and slouchy T-shirts rendered in faded, pastel hues conjure images of ‘90s era country clubs and vintage track-and-field attire.

We all need a (not so ugly) Christmas sweater!

The inside joke that everyone is in on: tacky, yet encouraged and celebrated. Yeap, we’re talking about the ugly Christmas sweater. But first, let’s take a brief look at its fashion history.

Originally called “Jingle Bell sweaters,” the first Christmas-themed sweaters were mass produced in the 1950s when the Christmas holiday was becoming increasingly commercialized. It had modest popularity until the 1980s when the sweaters became mainstream. The 1989 movie, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, highlighted the example of self-aware ugly Christmas sweater-wearing.

The Christmas sweater’s popularity faded in the 1990s until it was revitalized in the 2000s. Little did anyone know that would spark a cultural phenomenon that would eventually hit the high fashion runway. In 2011, the ugly Christmas sweater gained so much traction that Dolce & Gabbana unveiled a collection of so-ugly-it’s-beautiful sweaters. Today, the ugly Christmas sweater has become a mainstay of holiday attire with major retailers offering a range of designs from modest to corny!

What is it about the ugly Christmas sweater that draws people? Whatever it may be, it seems that the ugly Christmas sweater will be a closet must for years to come.

Is your kid asking for a Christmas Sweater? Well, forget the kitschy, one-time only, novelty piece. Why not opt for something stylish that’s just as statement-making instead? Try a pared-back version with ornamental embellishments or designs. From bubblegum-pink cashmere and aprés-ski-inspired knits to intarsia turtlenecks, at KOALA PORTER you can find the best ugly-chic sweater picks!

The Rain Boots comeback!

When rain boots were initially introduced, they were created solely for water resistance. Since been defined in the most clichéd terms, rain boots have stood firm, surviving season after season.

Built to prevent water from soaking our feet, rain boots, throughout the course of history were worn mainly for downpours and then quickly replaced after walking indoors. Rain boots however, are unquestionably as chic as they are serviceable! Over the years, rain boots have grown to become an It-item, surging in popularity. In the last 2 years, the popularity of this unlikely trend has continued to boom.

While your kids may already be covered with stylish rainy day essentials, umbrellas and raincoats, be sure to add these unique, designer rain boots to your cart and be prepared next time weather warnings get raised!

ZIMMERMANN KIDS!

You can tell at a glance which swimsuit or dress is Zimmermann. Established in 1991 by sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann, this upscale fashion label has remained faithful to its initial concept, which emphasized refined femininity, an obsession with detail, and a love of color and pattern. Zimmermann pioneered the daring act of introducing swimwear and fashion to the world at an early stage in its development. It quickly gained popularity among the elite of fashion, setting a new standard for attractive, feminine, and fashionable resort attire. Although the swimsuit helped Zimmermann become well-known worldwide, its continuously popular Ready-to-Wear and Resort collections have increased its appeal to a wider audience. Despite having its headquarters in Sydney, Zimmermann maintains a selection of standalone locations across the globe that embody the brand's unwavering optimism.
