With a background in children’s fashion and a natural aptitude for creating exceptional customer experiences, Tessa’s dream of opening her own dedicated children’s store was one she spent years visualising. When she had the opportunity to partner with her parents, Julian and Robyn, her dream came to fruition as they opened their first retail store, Bambini, in 2017.  Combining their talents with Tessa’s creative vision, Julian’s technical experience and Robyn’s flair for retail, their Wellington based store opened in the iconic Capital Gateway complex; a custom-designed emporium of quality, hand-picked goods coupled with expert advice from their extended Bambini family of staff.

Their store has become a one stop shop for high quality baby, toddler and kids fashion, footwear, books and accessories, with a loyal customer base from the Wellington region and across New Zealand. Bambini is a stockist of leading children’s brands including Nature Baby, Minti, Rock Your Baby, Band of Boys, Huxbaby and many more.

The Bambini team understand that gift giving is not always an easy task. Maybe you are a relative living abroad wanting to send something home for a new member of your family, or perhaps you and your colleagues want to pitch together to celebrate a milestone for a little one but don’t know where to start. You could just be a busy parent who needs a new wardrobe for the kids to prepare for the season ahead. While our in-store experience has been thoughtfully designed to make shopping for kids easy and fun, we understand that not everyone has the ability (or time!) to come by in person. We have created BambiniBox to be your solution. Simply complete our easy 3-minute online quiz to specify who you are buying for and what sort of items you are hoping to include, and our team of stylists will put it together for you! Your custom-made, beautifully presented BambiniBox will be delivered right to their door, filled to the brim with some of our favourite Bambini pieces for them to delight in.
