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.

I have bought several hats from the Acorn range. Excellent quality and these hats wash really well. So many cute designs to pick from it's actually hard to make a choice. Highly recommend these hats for your little ones.
Highly recommend the Acorn brand swim hats. Excellent quality and wash really well. I love all the designs plus the softness of the material. Also really impressed with how sturdy the rim of the hat is ie doesn't drop down into my toddlers face once wet. I just bought 2 more for my daughter who loves wearing her swim hat. A little more expensive upfront but 100% worth it as the quality is just so good.
Love these hats, this is the third one I've bought for my toddler's growing head. The hat appears to be comfy and cool to wear as it's the only hat that doesn't get ripped off immediately. The lorikeet print is colourful and a definite favourite of ours.
Love this hat. The print is great. I ordered up a size and it can be tightened to fit so will last a long time, that is if i can get her to ever take it off, she loves it too!
Fits my two year old's head perfectly. I didn't need to use the adjustable cord on the back. Bought a size M 52cm. I maybe could of bought a size L and used the adjustable cord at the back. So many cute patterns to choose from.

This Lucy hat is my daughter’s favourite!
The fabric quality is beautiful, just like the pattern. We purchased the Grace hat also and both hats have great stitching xx
Our new Grace bucket hat fits so perfectly on my 4 year old daughter. I’m so happy I decided to buy two hats. I will definitely be a repeat customer! Xx
I am really happy with this hat for my 6 month old. Great coverage and I am pleased that the toggle and chin strap allow for the fit to be adjusted.
My daughter is very keen to wear her new ACORN hat. She loves the design and I am very happy with the sun protection from the generous brim.
Our little daughter loves her new straw hat .. and so does her teachers and kindy friends! She’s doing bush home school so all learning is outdoors which means this tough little straw hat is bloody perfect 👌
I’m an adult with a small head , the acorn kids fits perfectly, thank you
Daughter loves it! It stays on during windy beach days and my daughter will wear without complaining so it must be comfy! Love it
Love this! My daughter will happily wear it for hours at a time and it doesn’t blow off in the wind! Terrific hat!
This is the second hat my daughter has had and they are great. Have tried many brands and these are by far the best and most durable.
