Hello, I am Fiona the founder of Acorn Kids. We are a family owned business based in Melbourne, Australia. I started Acorn in 2009 after an elusive search for an ethical and cute beanie for my daughter.
We have a strong focus on ethical production and are proud to support a womens' collective who hand-knit much of our winter range as well as local artists such as Jacinta Weir from Two Little Ducklings who hand-draws many of our prints.

Such a beautiful made and comfortable hat. I love the wide brim that keeps the sun of her face great.
Really lovely hat ! Perfect fabric and great adjustable toggles on chin strap and head ; my exchange because of ordering a size too small was dealt with swiftly eagerly awaiting the new size to arrive just in time for my daughter to wear at her birthday celebration; the big 3 😌 lovely wide brim to protect in our strong sunlight here in Tasmania, I’m sure I will order another one as so many lovely patterns to choose from 😊
Bought as a gift so cannot comment on functionality but absolutely gorgeous and great quality.
Got these as a gift. Love the style and that it comes with a case!
This is so cute and great sun protection! The koala makes it a great Aussie gift for oversea loved ones
This is my 3rd purchase from here and I love their hats This Koala hat is very cute and will last a long time. It has a drawstring to make the hat larger as baby grows. Also has a string to go under the neck which is a necessity on a baby baby.
Nice hat, bought 3 different colours.
Perfectly made. My daughter is happy.
Only one little thing. The top elastic band on one of them came off. I sewed it back.
Love this for my 6 year old. Fits well, love the cord to tie it up as I live in windy Tasmania. Good coverage from the sun and love that it is reversible for my very fashion forward daughter who loves options.
Took me a while to decide on my favourite fabric in this style, but so happy with the one we landed on, and my daughter loves it too! The pink flowers and reversible pink with white spots are so sweet :) I'm glad I opted for a high quality hat for her as it fits her head really well with room to grow, it's nice to know that we'll have it for a while. Thank you, I highly recommend Acorn hats
I was initially only going to buy a wide brim hat, but I'm so glad I ended up getting one in this style as well! It's perfect for sitting in the pram as it means she can rest comfortably back against the seat and it won't get knocked off her head. My daughter is also obsessed with strawberries, so she absolutely loves this fabric and puts it on to wear around the house :D
Fits just right, beautiful material, gorgeous cockatoo motif and the chin strap keeps it from falling off! Glad I bought it for my grandson-will definitely consider buying for other kids we know.
Great quality as always and fits well. Love the print
Super cute hat that goes with absolutely everything my girls decide to wear. Lovely quality and a neck strap to stop it blowing off on those windy days. Just perfect!
Hat fits me perfectly. Largest size available. Looks great for a bucket hat. I have been turning up the brim and still have plenty of shade on my face.
We love these hats! The best fit I've been able to find for our toddler. Not too floppy and I love how protective from the sun they are!
Best gift ideas and such cute designs and colours!
