🏆 WE’RE A FINALIST! 🏆
We honestly still can’t believe we’re writing this…
Hidden Valley Clothing has been named a FINALIST in the 2026 Australian Women’s Small Business Champion Awards – Specialised Retail Small Business category! ❤️
And with more than 3,500 entries from across Australia, being selected as a finalist is something we are incredibly proud of. 🥹
Nine years ago, three women — a mum and her two daughters — took a tiny shop in Dungog and decided to give it a go.
Nine years later, we’re still here. We’ve grown into a 180m² store, built an incredible customer base, created our own handmade range, introduced brands we believe in, supported our community and somehow survived the highs, lows, risks, stress and very long hours that come with running a small business!
But this achievement isn't just about us.
It belongs to our customers, our staff, our families, our suppliers and our amazing Dungog community who have supported us every step of the way.
From every purchase and recommendation, to every like, share, kind word and friendly face walking through our doors — you have helped build Hidden Valley Clothing. ❤️
To think that our little family business that started in a tiny shop in Dungog is now being recognised on a national stage, alongside so many incredible Australian businesses, is pretty special.
3,500+ entries → FINALIST! 🏆
We are proud.
We are grateful.
And we are definitely not finished yet! ❤️
Thank you for being part of our journey.
