The very first Smiggle store opened its bright red doors in Melbourne way back in 2003 and changed the face of stationery the world over. If imitation really is the sincerest form of flattery, then Smiggle can boast a host of admirers.
We can no longer imagine sending children back to school with a boring ol' tartan pencil case packed with nothing more than a grey lead pencil. Instead a rainbow of Smiggle options is set to inspire and delight, making school and homework opportunities for true expression and creativity.
John Cheston, MD of Smiggle is using the birthday celebrations as an opportunity to thank Smiggle's loyal fans. "Firstly, we want to thank our fans and customers for bringing Smiggle into their homes and hearts for the past twenty years," John said.
"We also owe our twenty years of success to our incredible team, from those who work behind the scenes in the Smiggle Design Lab to our retail superstars. They're all committed to creating an unforgettable experience that sparks joy, fun and happiness in the lives of our Smiggle fans across generations and the globe."
"Thank you for twenty inspiring, creative and joyous years. We can't wait to show you what we have instore for the next twenty!"
From that little Aussie stationery shop with the bright red doors, Smiggle now has over 300 stores - across Australia and the globe. Smiggle is actually available in over 20 countries, stretching from Asia through to Europe, so you will never ever run out of our rainbow of fun wherever you are in the world!
And while there's been stacks of growth, the core philosophy of Smiggle has remained the same - to inspire and help develop the creative spirits of children, with the ultimate colourful, fun, fashion-forward stationery.
The product range is huge! With the team in the Design Lab drawing inspiration from all over the world, Smiggle products are always about great design and innovation, bold colour, quirky graphics, great value and most of all, giving Smiggle fans the tools they need to have fun.
Two other key ingredients in Smiggle's recipe for success are their stores and their staff. Both are the same the world over - stores are styled with kids in mind, their footprint is small and always bright, staffed by really friendly and passionate people who get just how much time it takes to choose between a rainbow pen topped with a pompom or a spray fan drink bottle! Smiggle 20th Birthday Collection
To celebrate this momentous occasion, Smiggle has created a limited-edition collection of gorgeous 20th birthday goodies. In two different colourways, pink and gold or black and gold, and packed with celebratory bling, Smiggle fans may just want to collect it all.
The 20th Birthday Collection includes a tight but truly aaaammazing selection of bags, lunchboxes, bentos, drink bottles, pencil cases, gadgets and the cutest range of teeny tiny Smiggle favs on keyrings... think a glittery gold Smiggle backpack tiny enough to hang your RL glittery gold Smiggle backpack!
For the treat lover, there's the sweetest, prettiest selection in perfect pink and glistening gold. With embellishments galore! This collection is all about more! More gold, more sparkly reversey sequins, more bows and pom poms, more cute characters and more pretty!
For the sports fan, there's a rather cool range in smoking hot black and gold! And while there is the odd sequin here and there, it's more about an understated touch of gold bling and a great big soccer ball!
Available in store and online from 2 May through until 30 May - that's just a few weeks to secure a bright bit of Smiggle history!
Smiggle's 20th Birthday Collection is available from Smiggle stores nationally (and internationally!!) or online at http://www.smiggle.com. ;
