WHO WE ARE
THE GOOD STUFF
Band of Boys + The Girl Club is a design company, where our aim is to create well-crafted items that will be loved and used for a long time. We aren’t interested in selling loads of stuff, we want anyone who buys Band of Boys + The Girl Club products to believe in buying less but buying quality pieces that they know their minis will love and want to wear over and over. We are committed to being honest and taking responsibility for operating a business and maintaining a supply chain that respects the planet as well as those living on it. Our goal is to continuously improve and to treat everyone who interacts with our business with respect.
SLOW FASHION
We are all about slow and sustainable fashion, and this means that we offer pieces that will still be cool and wearable well after the season is over. We create clothing that is versatile in design with fabrics that are comfortable so that they will be worn over and over again. Each piece is created with integrity and kindness from the highest-quality materials we can source, while still trying to make our garments affordable. We take a mindful and slow approach to design, producing only what is needed. Learn more about our Slow Fashion Ethos.
DESIGNED IN NEW ZEALAND
Each season Susan Vaz, our Auckland based creative director, takes a considered approach to creativity, reflecting on how each piece might be worn, layered and styled before putting it into production. The upshot is a collection of intelligent designs that work superbly with each other and blend seamlessly into a person’s wardrobe for seasons to come.
WE KNOW KIDS
For over nine years we have been bringing something cool for kids to wear and the hallmarks of our garments are quality tailoring, hard wearing fabrics, comfort and attention to detail. With two boys of her own, Creative Director Susan Vaz knows that it is this formula that needs to form the basis of anything made for boys so that each piece will stand up to boys’ ceaseless energy. From this knowledge comes collections that have easy to wear options totally covered; we simply make stuff that kids want to wear.
WE KNOW FASHION
At Band of Boys + The Girl Club we believe fashion isn’t just about clothes. It’s about identity, creativity, self-expression and self-love; it lifts the spirit, boosts confidence and elevates us out of the everyday. This is our passion and is what drives us to do what we do - we want our kids to not only feel comfortable but to also always feel truly themselves.
FASHION UP TO 16 YEARS
Each season we put together three clever and very wearable collections: Band of Boys + The Girl Club (2Y - 10Y), with on-trend colours and bold styling this range is designed for the free-spirited younger boys and girls; Bandits + GRLFRND (2Y -16Y), the brand designed with the older kids in mind with an unapologetically cool and sophisticated aesthetic; and The Collectibles, our collection of standout accessories that are perfect for collecting or gifting. All of our collections work well together as capsules or mixed together they give each individual a wealth of options to build a wardrobe that’s truly them.
