Kids Clothes, Designed in Melbourne
We're Nick and Amy, and Minti is our kids clothing brand, designed here in Melbourne since 2008. Every print starts as a drawing by us (not a template, not bought in from somewhere else) before it goes on a tee, hoodie, dress or pair of trackies. We care about fabrics a lot, comfortable, durable and made to survive real kids (and the washing machine).
Sizes run from 2 through to 14, boys, girls and unisex, with everything from everyday tees and hoodies to dresses and swimwear. Free AU shipping on orders over $60, with pick up available from our Preston warehouse if you're local. Have a browse below, or scroll down for answers to some of our most common questions. Feel free to reach out to us any time! x
Minti : FAQ
What sizes does Minti come in?
Our kids clothing starts at toddler size 2 and goes right through kids size 14, for boys, girls and unisex styles. Check the size guide on each product page if you're between sizes.
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on your location. Orders over $60 within Australia ship free. Standard AU delivery takes 1–5 business days, or 1–3 business days with Express. We also ship to New Zealand or you can visit www.minti.co.nz to have your order sent directly from our Auckland warehouse. International shipping is also available to most destinations worldwide and free with orders over $90.
Can I return or exchange an item?
Yes. We offer a refund or exchange within 30 days of purchase, as long as the item is unworn, unwashed and still has its tags attached. Sale items are eligible for exchange only, not refund. Email hello@iloveminti.com to get a return authorisation number before sending anything back.
Can I pick up my order instead of having it shipped?
Yes, you can collect from our Preston warehouse (595 Plenty Rd, Preston VIC), Monday to Friday, 10am to 2pm. We'll text you when it's ready, usually same day if your order is placed before midday.
What makes Minti's designs different?
Every print you see started out as a drawing by us (Nick and Amy), not a template, not an agency, not bought in from somewhere else. We draw it all ourselves and always have, since we started in Melbourne in 2008.
It's more work doing it this way, but it means every collection actually looks and feels like us, not whatever's trending that season, and we're still hands-on with every single print that goes out under the Minti name.
What are our values?
At Minti, we design kids clothing we'd wear if we were small. We're not into fast fashion. We'd rather get a piece right and made to last. Every print starts as an original hand drawn artwork, not a template, so nothing in the range looks like everyone else's. We care about the fabrics holding up to real kids (and the washing machine), the fit actually working, and doing right by the process behind each piece, from careful quality control through to biodegradable packaging.
We're a small, family-run business (hi, it's Nick and Amy), designing everything here in Melbourne since 2008. We're not chasing trends or churning out new collections every five minutes, just trying to make clothes we'd want our own kids in, made properly enough to be handed down rather than thrown out.
