When my kids were young I loved dressing them in clothing that wasn’t mainstream. I’m not talking alternative (Hippy) or anything right out there lol, just something a little different to the normal pink filly dress. They often had the funkiest gum boots or the brightest jackets and they loved it (although problem is I now have to grown girls that will never wear pink).

I’ve recently been introduced to an Australian store that sells uniquely Australian made products for the whole family. Belluca stock only Australian made products and have a fantastic range that caters to the whole family. One of my favourite items in the store would have to be the Bandicoat for kids. Bandicoats are a child sized version of our much loved Drizabone. The coat is a waterproof, wind-resistant, lightweight, full-length brown oilskin coat that is 3/4 lined with ‘Country Pink’ or ‘Navy’ cotton gingham lining. They really are stunning and protect kids from all sorts of cold weather.
