Bright Stripes kids are captivated by crafts, constantly going on creative tangents as they adorn, accessorise, and enrich their lives one project at a time. They see colours, shapes, textures, and beauty everywhere, with a new favourite activity every couple of weeks—there’s just so much to explore! Driven by curiosity and imagination, they are hands-on creators, building the world they want to live in through the joy of making.

 

After years in the toy and craft industry, friends and fellow crafters Sabre Mrkva and Eric von Stein launched Bright Stripes in 2019, united by a love for DIY and a belief in creative play as a way to empower kids to shape their own world. Sabre, an industrial designer and permaculture enthusiast, blends business acumen with eco-conscious values, steering the company toward sustainable, heirloom-quality crafting tools. Eric draws on his love of quirky vintage toys and nostalgic camp crafts to fuel the brand’s imaginative spirit. Together, they aim to spark kids’ enthusiasm for screen-free, hands-on activities that nurture both skill and character.
