Kaboodle started back in 2002 as a small side hustle while I was working a corporate job that never quite felt like the right fit. Like many creative people stuck in the office grind, I spent more time daydreaming about making things than climbing the corporate ladder. Eventually I realised the corporate world just wasn’t my cup of tea, but creating was.
With no formal training in the arts but a lifelong love of craft and design, I began making handmade jewellery and quirky accessories in my spare time. What started at my kitchen table soon turned into a small stall at Sydney markets like Glebe and Bondi, where I sold my creations directly to customers who appreciated fun, unusual pieces just as much as I did.
From those early market days, Kaboodle Designs has grown into a colourful collection of novelty earrings, jewellery, and playful accessories designed to add a little personality to everyday style. From bold statement pieces to quirky themed designs, every item is chosen or created with the same goal, to make people smile.
While the range has expanded over the years, the heart of Kaboodle hasn’t changed. It’s still about creativity, individuality, and celebrating the fun side of fashion. Many pieces are inspired by pop culture, food, animals, and all the wonderfully random things that make life interesting.
Today you can find Kaboodle Designs online and at various pop-up locations, sharing the same quirky spirit that started it all.
Thanks for being part of the Kaboodle story.
