What Spixal is

Spixal is an Australian, mum-founded brand that makes coordinated lunch and school gear for kids, from daycare through to high school. Lunch boxes, lunch bags, drink bottles and backpacks are designed to fit together and match, so packing for the school day is one simple routine rather than ten separate decisions.

Spixal sits between purely functional lunchware brands and purely fashion-led bag brands: the range is built to be practical and long-lasting, with bright, fun designs kids are proud to carry.
