Growing up, I spent so much time trying to fit in. Wanting to be liked. Wanting to be “normal.”
But here’s the truth: normal is boring. And the best thing we can give our kids isn’t conformity — it’s confidence.
At Sand + Salt Kids, that’s what we’re all about: raising wild little souls who feel good in their own skin.
Why Confidence Matters More Than Clothes
Clothes can’t fix self-esteem — but they can remind kids of who they already are.
The right tee, hoodie, or pair of shorts can give them the freedom to:
-
Run faster.
-
Play harder.
-
Laugh louder.
-
Show up as themselves.
That’s the magic of raising confident kids — helping them feel secure enough to express themselves, no matter what “normal” looks like around them.
Self-Esteem Starts Young
Every parent knows the heartbreak of watching a child feel left out or judged. That’s why it’s so important to remind them, early and often:
✨ You’re enough just as you are.
When kids grow up with that message, they carry it for life. And something as simple as what they wear every day can reinforce it. That’s why we call our range self esteem kids clothing — clothes that are comfy, fun, durable, and built for kids to feel good in.
Ethical Kidswear That Backs Our Beliefs
Confidence doesn’t come from fast fashion or throwaway trends. That’s why we create ethical kidswear in Australia that’s:
-
Designed on Phillip Island.
-
Made ethically in Bali by women paid fairly for their work.
-
Produced in small batches to ensure quality.
Because raising kids with strong values starts with the choices we make as parents, too.
The Sand + Salt Kids Manifesto
-
Normal is boring.

This isn’t just kidswear. It’s a reminder that fitting in is overrated, and being yourself will always be the coolest thing of all.
