How Yasashii Was Born.
Hello and Welcome Cool Friends!
I’m Tonya and the creative dreamer behind Yasashii Australia living in Perth, Western Australia.
Yasashii evolved after the arrival of my twin boys.
Let me share my why.

The moment we received confirmation we were having boys, I started searching for boys fashion and the current trends and colours that were available. I faithfully looked at all my favourite brands that I loved and wore and that’s when I really saw a significant gap in colour choice for boys. I began photographing the boys’ section in every store I visited, and very quickly my camera roll told a compelling story - our beautiful boys were missing out! Like many fellow parents I pondered the universal question - where are the colour options for BOYS?! The limited fashion options which provided a semi-satisfactory solution (for me) were one or two surf/skate brands who had a limited colour palette for boys, or a designer with a price tag that was far beyond my fashion budget. And so the seed was sown.
"Yasashii is a Japanese word meaning ‘gentle’ or ‘kind’
It completely resonates with me when I think about my children. I find that boys in general, rarely get the gentle or kind tag straight up - they tend to get labeled boisterous, loud and wild (my twins are all of these too!).
I am passionate about the impact of colour on our moods and emotions. Both my boys have been picking their clothes out for a little while now and always lean towards something colourful and vibrant which surprises me all the time. Don’t get me wrong they also wear multiple shades of blue, white, grey and black but it tends to feature less in their individual choices which I find completely goes against what you tend to see available in the boys section of a big brand store. My vision is to offer a diverse range of cool colour options for all kids, but give an unapologetic shout out to our boys. I hope it gives them an opportunity to freely express their self-confidence and personal style via some trendy and beautiful colourful additions to their wardrobe.

Our Hope For You
Yasashii Australia™ is a unisex brand that experiments with colour and whose oversize fit and style is suitable for everyone! As a mum of two busy boys I understand the need for comfortable quality fabrics that withstand regular wear and repeated washing, and also the need to last more than one season.
I hope that each jumper, hoodie or t-shirt is handed down to a sibling or a friend as a favourite piece.
