Hi, I’m Shane — proud dad, storyteller, and the founder of Koala Kartel.

Koala Kartel was born from the simple, beautiful chaos of parenthood. Bedtime wasn’t just the end of the day — it became a moment of connection, of stories, cuddles, and the kind of magic only kids can spark. My own little dreamers, Bella and Linc, inspired me to create something more than just pajamas. I wanted to give families a reason to slow down, snuggle in, and make bedtime feel special again.

So I built the Koala Kartel - designed to bring warmth, imagination, and a little bit of cheekiness to every night.

Every detail — from the buttery-soft fabric to the bedtime stories — is made with care, comfort, and curiosity in mind.

Because I believe great sleep starts with feeling safe, seen, and a little bit magical.

Thanks for being here. From my family to yours — welcome to the Kartel.
