Meet De Vidina Designs: The Creative Team Behind Kuddli Koala Jewellery

In the vibrant world of Australian jewellery, few brands capture the spirit of fun, creativity, and local pride quite like Kuddli Koala. But behind every adorable koala pendant and sparkling bracelet is a story of innovation, collaboration, and a vision to share Australia’s charm with the world—this is the story of De Vidina Designs.

The Spark Behind Kuddli Koala

The inspiration for Kuddli Koala was ignited through a unique partnership with Solvar Irish Jewellery—a brand with over 80 years of experience in crafting iconic Celtic symbols such as the Claddagh and Tree of Life, admired by jewellery lovers worldwide. Their heritage of artistry, quality, and storytelling provided the perfect foundation to create a new jewellery collection that celebrates Australia’s own beloved icon: the koala.

Creating a Unique Australian Experience

Recognising a noticeable gap in the market for authentic koala-themed jewellery, De Vidina Designs, in collaboration with Solvar Irish Jewellery and the team from LagardereAWPL (a leader in travel retail), set out to develop a brand that would offer travellers and locals a meaningful, lasting keepsake. The result is Kuddli Koala—a collection that combines playful, kawaii-inspired design with meticulous craftsmanship and genuine Australian spirit.

Every Kuddli Koala piece features 3D sculpted koala details and is crafted with the same care and expertise that has made Solvar’s Celtic collections so cherished around the globe. Our jewellery is more than just a souvenir; it’s a wearable memory of Australia, perfect for gifting or treasuring as a personal memento.

Expanding Beyond Travel Retail

Kuddli Koala’s appeal quickly caught the attention of other iconic Australian destinations. Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary was the very first to embrace our designs outside the LagardereAWPL network, proudly showcasing our high-end collections in 9ct Gold and Sterling Silver. This partnership allowed visitors to take home a truly premium piece of Australian craftsmanship—whether as a keepsake of their sanctuary visit or a gift for someone special.

More Than Just Jewellery

Kuddli Koala is about more than adornment—it’s a celebration of the iconic koala and everything it represents. Our mission is to give voice to the koala’s spirit of stillness, nurturing, protection, and deep connection to nature. Each piece is thoughtfully crafted to embody the importance of slowing down, setting boundaries, and finding inner peace.

Through our jewellery, we aim to offer both local and international visitors a cherished reminder of Australia—not just as a destination, but as a place that encourages mindfulness, care, and connection. Every Kuddli Koala creation is designed to be a meaningful keepsake, symbolising the values that make Australia and its wildlife so special.

Looking Ahead

The journey doesn’t stop here. De Vidina Designs, together with partners such as LagardereAWPL, Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, and Australia Zoo, continues to innovate, with new collections and collaborations on the horizon. Our goal is simple: to make Kuddli Koala the go-to for genuine Australian jewellery, spreading smiles and Aussie spirit around the globe.
