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 ordered three acorn bucket hats and they are all fantastic; the quality really is amazing. Favourite features include the adjustable size toggle and the brim which has the perfect stiffness so you can manipulate it to be out of your child's eyes but still shading their face, with no floppy fabric in sight. Don't go anywhere else!
I've just bought my second bag from Acorn, this time I got the medium size.
I already have the small one for getting my keys, purse, phone (small stuff) etc from the car into the office, and I decided I also wanted a slightly bigger bag for taking my weekly breakfasts & lunches etc into work on a Monday. The bags are sturdy and have a flat bottom so the contents don't fall all over the place and are protected whilst on the move.
Everyone comments on how pretty and cute these bags are and I just love them. You absolutely need to get one - You will love yours too!!
The bucket hat style, the pattern, the big brim and how cute my daughters look in them! What’s not to love!! These are my all time favourite hats for my two girls and presents!
This are so sweet looking. Got them for our new baby niece.
Can't fault it! Beautiful fit, tie mid head to fit perfectly, wide brim, great quality, beautiful pattern, kid loves it.

I love this hat, it's soft and fit perfectly... My son looks amazing in it and it's fully adjustable..would not buy any other !
Bought this hat for my grandsons 1st birthday. Fits him perfectly and he looks so darn cute.
Bought as a gift for our little niece and she loved it so much bought another 2 in bigger sizes love the side braids and so soft and comfy such a good fit perfect for cold winter mornings
I'd been looking for ages for EXACTLY this type of little recycled plastic bag for work! Just to take my purse, phone, keys, bits and pieces from the car to the office.
It has a flat bottom nothing is sitting on the top of each other - and I can actually SEE what I'm looking for in there - unlike it was in my previous tote bag.
It is exactly the same as the picture and I'm absolutely delighted with it.
Fast delivery, great packaging and great correspondence - well done Acorn!!
You need to get one of these - they are GREAT and you'll love yours too!!
This is my 4th summer buying Acorn hats i absolutely love them, my kids seem to be the only ones with their hats still on after a beach morning. They stay tight to the head, no flop over the eyes when wet and are double lined so last forever!
Cutest little hat! It’s nice, soft and flexible material. The back part of the hat is really good and protects the sun from the neck, would really recommend! It’s perfect (:
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.
