About Spencil:

We put a lot of thought into what makes kids happy, thriving little human beings… the confidence to be themselves, connection to love and belonging, a sense of wonder about and enthusiasm for the natural world, friendships, feeling capable and validated for who they are.

We think about the things occupying your mind because, like you, we’re parents. We’re a family business located in the hills of Pine Mountain in South East Queensland, where we balance planning how to make your and your kids’ world a brighter, kinder, more connected place… with school pick-ups, sports days and play dates.

We’re parents who are building a brand by talking to and listening to other parents about their needs and what they want for their kids.

We’re continually adapting and evolving but some things (our core beliefs) will always remain.

We reject and rail against the idea of ‘exclusive’ kids brands that can be used for status. At Spencil, we strive to foster ‘inclusivity’. We price our range to be as affordable as we can and we make products to last.

We celebrate diversity and individual differences by providing a range of styles that, hopefully, offer something uplifting to every child.

We love collaborating with our customers and want to hear your ideas (One mum said her kid suggested sloths. Love it! Stay tuned; they’ll be here in their own good time).

As for ‘using a brand for status’, it’s everything we are not. We have intentionally reduced the size and shifted the position of our Spencil badge to make it less prominent. It’s our reminder to ourselves about what we will never want to be.

Upon receiving our order of the Island Vibes Big Kids Backpack, I was immediately surprised by the practicality of the design and the quality of the materials used. The shoulders are padded and comfortable, the straps are sturdy and well made, the zips are easy to use and also seem sturdy. The bag has just the right amount of pockets for all that an Aussie Big Kid would need for school. The waterbottle pocket ACTUALLy FITS our BBox Waterbottle and the print is vibrant, playful and visually appealing. As for longevity, I cannot say just yet as we have never had a spencil backpack before but we look forward to seeing how it fares for our Preppie. Also I was very impressed by the black friday deals and also the very reasonably priced shipping. Sometimes companies seem to really charge extra for shipping to make up for any discounts on the item themselves. This was NOT the case with spencil and the items shipped very quickly.
