In 1991 Pumpkin Patch began with a mail order catalogue and the opening of 1 retail store. Over the next few years we continued to open stores in NZ and in 1994 entered the Australian marketplace with our mail order catalogue. 1997 saw us open our first Australian store and then in 1999 our Urban Angel girls brand was introduced. In 2000 we opened our first store in UK and in 2005 USA.
Pumpkin Patch is Australiasia's leading children's fashion company, and is increasingly recognised as an international brand representing innovate design and quality product.
The entire Pumpkin Patch collection is designed by our in-house design team who ensure each garment is fresh and stylish with a distinctive design signature.
The company employs over 3,100 people, produces more than 2,000 styles per season
and sells products through more than 250 stores worldwide. The collections are currently available in numerous countries and regions including New Zealand, Australia, United Kingdom, USA, South Africa and The Middle East.
We value relationships in our workplace, where the culture is inspired by family values. We’re proud to support working parents by providing a creche at our head office in East Tamaki in Auckland, NZ. We also employ many husbands, wives and other loved ones in different areas of the company. Many of our foundation employees can still be found in varied areas around our company and contribute to the “family” atmosphere at the Patch.
Pumpkin Patch is committed to supporting the community through its focus on child related charities such as CureKids (Child Health Research Institute) and Make- A- Wish. We also support the Children's Hospital Oncology Wards at Starship in New Zealand and Westmead in Australia with a gift for children who have to spend their birthday in hospital. As well as that we are involved at the “local” level with many schools and kindergarten fundraising fashion parades and other events.
Our strong mix of unique, quality product, marketing expertise, strong customer focus, enthusiastic people and innovative technology has created a unique brand. A brand that is the leader in its market. The loyalty we receive from you, our customers, makes the hardwork so worthwhile. Our company continues to grow and we are well aware none of it would have been possible without your support.
Thanks and see you in store soon!
