Why Buckets and Spades?
Buckets and Spades offer boutique kids clothing through thoughtfully curated, often limited edition collections from premium brands that prioritise quality, style, and sustainability. At Buckets and Spades, we hand-pick every piece from trusted Australian and international designers like Bobo Choses, Goldie & Ace, Huxbaby, Mini Rodini and Wilson & Frenchy to ensure your child wears pieces that last, both in durability and timeless charm. It's more than fashion, it's a children's boutique clothing collection built for real-life childhood adventure and impeccable style.
Why choose boutique over big-box kids fashion?
Quality that lasts: Our clothes are designed to survive playtime, naptime, and everything in between.
Unique finds: Standout pieces that won’t be on every kid at the playground.
Sustainability: Many of our brands use Organic Tee options, Organic Denim, and eco-friendly practices.
Support local: As an Australian owned business, shopping with us means supporting a passionate family run children's clothing boutique and baby store.
How do I choose the right size?
Each brand we stock has its own size guide, which we link on every product page. When in doubt:
Size up for growing room.
Look for pieces with adjustable features like elastic waists or shoulder ties.
