Meet the Merchgirls
Hello, 👋🏼 we’re Hannah and Pippa, the co-founders of Merchgirls.
Together we founded Merchgirls in 2015. Armed with experience in Design (Hannah) and Production (Pippa), and after many years working in fashion together, we combined forces to provide creative merchandise to the wider market.
You could say from fairy wings, come big things. What started with one client; The Australian Ballet, has grown to a stellar list of some of the best companies Australia-wide. The demand for ‘merchandise that’s twice as nice’ is real.
We have had a lot of fun building our colourful business these past 7 years and have made almost every product from tutus to 2 metre tote bags and everything in between. We remain passionate about creating a next level merchandise experience for all our customers and thank you for stopping by.
Meet the Team
We are super proud of the amazing team we have formed over the past few years. With our powers combined, we are poised to make your merch dreams come true.
Together we have built a team of talented creatives, customer service and production experts that bring a unique style to the way we do business. With backgrounds in product design, graphics, account management as well as production and logistics, the Merchgirls team will exceed your expectations of a promotional merch company.

When you work with Merchgirls, you get more...
First and foremost
WE ARE A CREATIVE AGENCY.
Our purpose is to evolve corporate merchandise beyond the ‘slap a logo on it’ mentality and instead create products with design integrity and innate appeal.
We dive in deep with your brand to find fresh, engaging ways to bring it to life with products that will be used, loved and kept out of landfill.
We can create
ALL KINDS OF COOL THINGS.
Our latest product catalogue, Menu 4.0, is a showcase of our most popular core products, all available for customisation. Our designs and products go beyond the traditional merch catalogue offerings. We hone in on the details, from fabrications to custom labels, to make the finished product shine.
If you don’t see what you want in our extensive Menu, we can likely make it happen.
We know our stuff
BRINGING YOU THE BEST SKILLS AND EXPERTISE.
Together we have built a talented team with a collective background in graphic design, fashion design, styling, product development, production, QC, sales and logistics.
Merchgirls is based in Melbourne, Australia but we spread the joy worldwide. We live to create products that get attention for all the right reasons.
Collaboration is key
EXTEND THE POTENTIAL OF YOUR BRAND.
We love collaborating with our clients to help you extend the creative potential of your brand and find unique ways to connect with new audiences. We start our process with a meeting that enables us to take a deep dive into your brand and understand your needs, your target audience, your resources, your vision and we get to understand the purpose of your merch, the easier it will be to make your marketing goals come to life.
Vision & resources
EQUALS A CREATION OF YOUR DREAM MERCH.
We have the vision and the resources to make anything you can envision a reality. Yes, we can pop your logo on a T-shirt (no brainer) but we can also dream up an entire capsule range, create unforgettable designs and slogans, and shoot the slickest flat-lays to start an avalanche of likes (and clicks).
