BON MAXIE

Calming your farm since 2015.

What started as a custom portrait and nursery decor business (a wee-bit-bored mum on maternity leave) quickly turned into handmade earring holders after Clare, our founder, discovered she was overly stressed. Due to earring mess.

Over 1 million hand-drilled holes later before the machines took over, Bon Maxie's unique mix of function and aesthetics has made our earring holders Australiaā€™s go-to with over 100,000 accessory collections, now organised 'with a Bon Maxie'.
BON MAXIE

Designed from theĀ inside,Ā out.

9 years on, Clare has fully realised her passion for finding a handy fix to repetitive frustrations, designing a full suite of feature-filled bags, wallets, accessories and life essentials thatĀ reallyĀ mean business. But also look pretty.

Obsessing over details and quality from the inside out is where we're different. Sounds simple, yet it's not common that brands focus on things other than seasonal aesthetics.
BON MAXIE

This isnā€™t just fashionā€”itā€™s a movement.

Our customers are all inā€”some own one of everything we make.
'Cos once you experience accessories that work as hard as you do, youā€™ll never
go back.

Time to see if the grass (bag) is, in fact, greener (better with function)?

A bit about our founder.

Clare Speltaā€”almond croissant connoisseur, special needs mum, maker, and master of making life easier.

Based in Queensland (despite disliking the heat), Clare is mum to Max, who has a rare genetic condition yet continues to defy the odds, and a recent addition, who brings joy to the unpredictability of a life touched by disability. This community has been a lifeline for Clare, initially allowing her to leave her corporate job to care for her son and channel her energy into creating a business that could work around her life. Realising the power of creating a remote-working environment with a specialised team, Clare always strives to uphold her values of kindness, quality and integrity in both her designs, her operations and her life.

Ā about-bon-maxie-handbags-wallets

Clare Spelta (thatā€™s me!) started Bon Maxie in 2015.Ā After having a baby, Max, I realised Iā€™d lost my creative outlet after spending 8 years in a corporate advertising and marketing, so started a business painting portraits and selling nursery art prints.

Things changed.Ā A few months in, I was back at work and our new baby started having seizures, then later, horrible brain spasms. I quit my job to care for him and he was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition. We spent most of 2016 in and out of hospital.

Time became quite precious. I realised that I didnā€™t have as much time to spend painting detailed portraits, so sought to create a product that I could duplicate so I could work more efficiently while caring for Max.

It was then that I realisedĀ I was overly stressed.Ā The culprit? Earring mess. So,Ā I created myself an earring holder. Realising there wasnā€™t anything at all like this on the market, I shared my creation on Instagram. The response was overwhelming, and Bon Maxie quickly became synonymous with earring organisation.

Now?Ā I've let some machines take over making my earring holders (I stopped at 1,000,000 hand-drilled holes with epic RSI) and Bon Maxie'sĀ evolved to become Australia's favourite earring holder brand. We'veĀ expanded the range to include handbags, wallets, home, and travel accessoriesā€”all thoughtfully (read: obsessively) designed to bring a sense of calm to your daily life.

And Max?Ā Heā€™s now seizure free, walking against the odds and weā€™re hearing promising signs of communication. While life isnā€™t easy, weā€™re choosing to focus on the little wins that we do have. He was the reason why I started the business and now, heā€™s the reason why we work so hard in it. Plus,Ā we recently added a little daughter to the team. We canā€™t thank our loyal customers enough for your ongoing support.

The Bon Maxie team is based in Brisbane, Australia.
