Proudly made in New Zealand

WELCOME TO OUR LITTLE UNIVERSE OF FUN

Shmants isn’t fast fashion in disguise.  Every detail of our brand is intentional — from concept to final stitch, we’ve collaborated with the coolest creatives, local makers and small industry suppliers to keep everything proudly rooted to being New Zealand made.

Made for the little rascals, the future icons, and creative visionaries. Shmants channels the spirit of childhood—where mess meets magic, and a playful rebellion is always welcome.

Designed to be lived in, loved and passed on.

Satisfied Dad
"My kid put these on and immediately started a band in the lounge. No instruments. Just yelling. 10/10 pants"

You betcha!!  We've added a seriously roomy pocket—perfect for stashing a couple of Hot Wheels, your harmonica, a snack, or whatever other magical treasure you’re carrying around that day

Pftt, no sweat. They’re made to grow with you. Shmants make getting dressed, bathroom trips, and growing easier. We’ve ditched the buttons and zips in favour of a super-stretchy, comfy elastic waistband. We’ve also added a 4cm cuff to our cotton pants you can unroll to keep up with those impressive growth spurts!

We hear ya!! There’s no flappy tags around here, the only tag is sewn flat onto the pants waistband (Shmants wearers don’t even notice it's there)

Yep! They sure can! Shmants celebrate kids being kids- we know how much fun getting dirty and messy is for active little bodies.  We’ve chosen easy-care fabrics that are all machine washable on a 30°C or cold cycle. Because really - who even has time for handwashing?

SHMANCY THAT

With high-quality sourced fabrics chosen for its durability and comfort, our designs are brought to life with big pocket personality and bold, maximalist prints for kids who were born to stand out. Shmants bring a disco-level energy to getting dressed everyday - where the only rule here is to have FUN!
