Hello, I'm Iris.

Welcome to Hatoessential – we're a family-owned, proudly Australian business! 🇦🇺 Hatoessential is a cherished dream inspired by my journey as a mother and the deep love I have for my daughter, Hazel. The background colour of this website isn't just a favourite shade; it carries her name, serving as a constant reminder of why I embarked on this venture.

Our story began with a simple idea: to create baby essentials that bring comfort, joy, and care to little ones, from head to toes. As a mother, I faced challenges finding suitable accessories for Hazel. I recall the frustration of socks with bumps and cords that left her tiny feet uncomfortable, leading to tears and constant adjustments. Similarly, finding a hat that was both practical and beautiful was a struggle. Hazel often resisted wearing hats in her pram, as they caused neck chafing and discomfort.

Here in Australia, where the sun shines brightly, hats are an everyday necessity – not just an accessory. I aspired to design products that reflect the beauty of our land, the warmth of our lifestyle, and the love we pour into parenting.

At Hatoessential, every hat and pair of socks is crafted with care, inspired by the little moments that make childhood magical – from first steps to sunlit adventures. Our commitment to quality ensures that each item is designed to provide both comfort and style for your child.

Thank you for being here and allowing Hatoessential to be part of your parenting journey.

With love,

Iris & Hazel &Wen
