Our Story

Welcome to The Bower Tasmania – Where fabulous meets colour and creativity!

Hi, I'm Mel, and this is 'The Boss'. The Boss’s arrival was anything but ordinary—arriving 16 weeks early and given only a 50% chance of survival, we count our little miracle as a blessing each and every day.  After spending 5 months in NICU and then coming home on oxygen support, I had to rethink my work-life balance. The Bower Tasmania was born from my need for flexibility, allowing me to support him while building something meaningful.  What began as a small family-run shop in Cygnet known for quality footwear and locally crafted treasures, has blossomed into a celebration of creativity, colour, and self-expression. 

Today, The Bower Tasmania is more than just a shop—it’s a showcase of vibrant design, personality, and originality. While we still offer our much-loved shoes, boots, Ugg Boots, sheepskin slippers, and our special 2 in 1 beanie-scarfs, our boldest step forward has been in the world of fun, vibrant t-shirts and hoodies that bring joy to everyday life.

A Splash of Colour, A Whole Lot of Fun

Our graphic tees and hoodie designs are all about playfulness, personality, and colour. Whether it’s a quirky highland cow, a stunning mountain landscape, or a whimsical unicorn, every piece is designed to make a statement. We love experimenting with new ideas, testing what people love, and bringing fresh, exciting designs to life.

Our online store brings that same bold, feel-good energy straight to you—wherever you are, whenever you like. Explore our T-shirt Collection, Hoodie Collection, and Kids' Tees to find your perfect splash of colour.

Rooted in Community, Growing Online

What started as a way to bring flexibility to our family’s life has grown into a brand that embraces fun, freedom, and creativity.  While our little red shop in Cygnet, south of Hobart, remains a hub for high-quality footwear and Tasmanian-made treasures, our online store lets us share our passion for bold, feel-good fashion with the world.

So, whether you’re after the perfect pair of boots, a handmade 2 in 1 beanie-scarf combo, or a t-shirt or hoodie that makes you smile, The Bower Tasmania has something for you—ready to wear, anywhere.

We look forward to seeing you— online or in-store. And remember…
You are A Whole Lot of Fabulous
