OUR STORY

Meet Kalanni, the artist behind every KJH 5-panel

KJH stands for Kalanni Joyce Hurrey. She's 13, she lives on the Gold Coast, and every KJH 5-panel hat starts as one of her drawings.

Six years and here we are

Six years ago, when she was just seven, Kalanni started drawing hats with a pile of pencils and markers. Six years and more than 200 customer reviews later (rated 4.8 out of 5), she's still the one drawing every single print.

How a KJH hat is made

1. She draws it. Every design begins by hand, with pencils, markers and a big imagination.
2. She picks the colours. Kalanni mixes and matches from colour cards until it feels just right.
3. It goes digital. She finishes the design on her computer, and it's turned into a high-resolution 600 DPI print file.
4. It becomes a hat. Her artwork is printed onto cotton and made into caps by our hat maker in Indonesia.
5. It's packed with love. Our family packs every order by hand, and every one gets a handwritten thank-you note.

What we sell

5-panel hats in Kalanni's prints and in corduroy, plus surf bucket hats, sports hats and sunglasses. Our 5-panel hats come in Mini (10 months – 2 years), Kids (2 – 7 years) and Adult (7 years – grown-up) sizes, so the whole crew can match. Surf bucket hats come in XS to L (52–58 cm), and our sports hats are adult one size.

Inspired by the beach

Growing up by the ocean, Kalanni takes her ideas from salty hair, sunny days and endless adventures outdoors. Her designs are fun, bold and full of personality — just like the families who wear them. Each hat is a little piece of how she sees the world: colourful, carefree and made for play. Designed for kids and loved by adults.

Come and say hi

You'll find Kalanni and the family at the Gold Coast beachfront markets every Sunday. In December we'll be at Stockland shopping centre (near Big W) for the two weeks before Christmas, during normal centre hours. Come try on a hat, meet the designer, and see her latest drawings.

Thank you for supporting a young Aussie artist and our little family business. Every hat you buy helps Kalanni keep drawing. 💛
