A little about Knuffle Kid

Knuffle loosely translated from dutch is “to cuddle” – Kid is a baby goat or small child.IMG_0129

Knuffle Kid is all about the joy of being a child – it’s about the time in your life when memories first form – it’s about having a favourite dress that gets passed down to your little sister or eventually to your own child.

Designing and sewing had always been a big part of Knuffle Kid’s creator Emma Strybosch’s world. Her Barbies always had new couture, then she started to fashioned her own outfits from second hand clothes and hand-me-downs at the age of five.

With creative hands and a need to make, the perfect opportunity arose after the birth of her first daughter Ava. With time at home caring for munchkin number one, the sewing machine started to get a work out. By the time number two – Little Ruby – came along. The market scene began and soon after trade shows were being attended.

Now in shops all over Australia, Knuffle Kid has grown from a couple of girl’s dresses to a full range for both boys and girls.

A strong emphasis is kept on the need to produce within Australia and Strybosch is constantly searching for Australian made and vintage fabrics, she also designs a fabric for each range with the help of screen printers Ink and Spindle. Making Knuffle Kid truely a unique brand.

A little about the summer range

0O6Y7456“Aloha Hollywood” for summer 2010/2011.

A tip of the hat to the style and fun of classic Hollywood movie-stars, the Aloha Hollywood range is all about lounging around the pool in a shady spot with your friends, catching the speckled rays of sunshine and sharing icy-poles.
Stylish vintage fabrics teamed with organic cottons, denim, light modal tops and stripes, all embody the ease of cool, that stars from the goldern age of screen oozed.

The signiture fabric this time around lends from the kitsch fabric of a Hawaiian shirt. Hand drawn pineapples, flamingo’s and palm tree’s swaying in the summer breeze are sure to take you to another relaxing place.
