Bringing years of experience in children’s fashion, crafting premium apparel in New Zealand with thoughtfulness and care. Alongside a background in education and mother of three active children.

Mini Hoshi began with a simple yet powerful question: What if the sports gear we give our children wasn’t just made for play - but made for growth?

It started with three passionate parents - dreamers, doers, and lifelong sports lovers - who looked at their energetic, curious kids and saw more than just playtime. They saw potential, movement, and moments that matter. With backgrounds in business, product development and sport (and seven children between them), they wondered:

Could we design sports equipment that sparks a love for movement from the very beginning? Could it be beautifully crafted, thoughtfully designed and durable enough to grow with every wobble, swing and joyful giggle?

So they gave it a go. Prototypes were sketched, shaped, tested. And tested again. Honest feedback came from the most reliable critics (the kids themselves) and with every bounce, break and belly laugh, the collection evolved.

What emerged wasn’t just gear. It was a celebration of childhood - a blend of form, function, and storytelling that respects the journey of a growing little athlete.
