Explore the Benefits of a Personalised Kids Backpack Our personalised gingham backpack for kids is built for the beautiful chaos of daycare, kinder, and everything in between. Wipeable, lightweight, and embroidered with your child's name in our Melbourne studio — this is the backpack that makes drop-off a little smoother and your kid a little prouder 🎒 Made from durable gingham polyester composite, it handles spills, squished bananas, and whatever else the day throws at it. Wipe it down, chuck it in the wash, and it still looks good. Because a personalised kids backpack should work as hard as you do. Every name is embroidered to order by Steph — designed, digitised, and stitched on her own machine. No outsourcing. No bulk production. Just one name at a time 💛 And if you look inside? There's a hidden detail stitched in — you are so loved. Because some things are worth saying, even when no one's looking. Why Our Backpacks Stand Out:🌿 Personalised & Made To Order – Your child's name, stitched in Melbourne. Not printed. Not ironed on. Embroidered to last. 🧴 Wipeable & Machine Washable — Gingham polyester composite that cleans up easily. Fully lined. Built for the mess of real life with little ones. 🎈 Just Right for Young Explorers – Adjustable padded straps, smooth zippers, and a top loop for hanging on hooks at childcare. 🧴 Practical for Parents – Fully lined and machine washable, with wipeable interiors that handle daily mess with ease. 📐 Two Size Options –Small: 32cm (H) x 25cm (W) – perfect for toddlers, daycare, and light packersLarge: 40cm (H) x 32cm (W) – extra room for busy kinder days and bigger preschool kids. 🧃 Organised & Functional – Three zip sections and dual side pockets for drink bottles, snacks, spare clothes, or whatever treasures they've collected. Pair it with our matching personalised gingham lunch bag — same fabric, same colours, fits inside the large backpack. One bag, one hook, one name. 🎁 Perfectly Giftable – First day at daycare. A birthday. A new sibling milestone. It's practical, personal, and the kind of gift that gets a reaction. Their name. Their bag. Their thing. Made for daily daycare and kinder life, the gingham backpack is water-resistant inside and out, with sturdy, smooth zips, reinforced stitching, adjustable padded straps and enough structure to hold its shape in cubbies, on hooks and in the car. It's the practical one for lunchbox leaks, damp spare clothes and the general mystery mess that follows small children around. You can personalise it with your child's embroidered name, choose the font and thread colour, and add icons for $10 each if they're deep in their flower / dinosaur / train / one-very-specific-thing era. Gingham or Corduroy — Which One's Right? We get asked this a lot. Here's the honest answer. Gingham is your best friend if mess is a daily guarantee (so… always). The wipeable polyester composite means you can clean it without a full wash — perfect for the toddler years when yoghurt, mud, and mystery substances are part of the routine. Available in Rainbow Gingham, Sunflower Gingham, and Blue Gingham - designed for boys and girls. The corduroy backpack is soft, textured, and made from 100% cotton with a water-resistant lining. It's beautiful and tactile — and machine washable too. If you love that cosy, classic look, corduroy is your pick. Both have the same structure, same sizing, same embroidery options. Same hidden you are so loved inside. It really just comes down to which one makes you feel something when you see it. Which Size Should I Choose? Small (32cm H × 25cm W) — Fits daycare essentials without swallowing your toddler whole. Nappies, a change of clothes, a lunchbox, a comfort toy. Enough room without the bulk. Most popular for ages 1–3. Large (40cm H × 32cm W) — For kinder kids, bigger packers, or the child who brings half the house. Fits a full lunch bag, a water bottle, a jacket, and whatever else the day requires. Some parents use it as a daycare bag replacement. Most popular for ages 3–6. Not sure? The small fits more than you'd think. But if your child is already in kinder or you want room to grow — go large. Designed & embroidered in Melbourne. Made to Order. Every personalised kids backpack leaves our studio with a 5–7 day lead time (express available). Steph handles every order personally — from design to dispatch. It's a small operation on purpose. Because when someone trusts you with their child's name, you want to get it right. Designed with care. Personalised with love. Ready for whatever today looks like.
