Hello, I’m Chris – the heart behind KoalaBlu.

I live on 11 acres of beautiful Gold Coast land with my husband, three horses, two dogs, and three cats. Originally from Sydney, we relocated to the Gold Coast seven years ago due to unforeseen medical challenges.

Life has had its ups and downs, but I’m grateful for the blessings it has brought – including being a proud grandmother to my children’s families in Sydney and Melbourne.

I started KoalaBlu in January 2024 during a time of renewal and healing. Creating something meaningful that aligns with my values became my mission, and sustainability and personalisation have always been at the core of my vision.

  

The Inspiration Behind KoalaBlu

Raffia Bags

Our woven raffia bags are more than just accessories – they are meaningful, useful, and versatile pieces for all ages and all walks of life. Each bag is designed with purpose and individuality in mind, offering a unique touch through personalisation. I love seeing the creativity and joy these bags bring to people’s lives.

  

TaraWolf Jewellery

Before KoalaBlu, I poured my heart into designing TaraWolf Jewellery, a line that promotes positivity and balance. Made from .925 Sterling Silver and 24k Gold Vermeil, TaraWolf pieces embrace wellness and individuality. The collection includes designs inspired by the seven chakras, reminding us to strive for balance in our busy lives, and zodiac bracelets, which celebrate confidence, character, and spirit.

Each piece is designed for elegance and well-being, with an information leaflet to deepen the connection. I’m proud to share that TaraWolf was once featured in many retail stores across Australia and New Zealand, a testament to the love and intention behind every design.

 

KoalaBlu: My Silver Lining

Life has thrown its share of challenges my way, but KoalaBlu has been my silver lining. It’s a blend of everything I value – creativity, sustainability, and positivity. Through KoalaBlu, I’m able to share meaningful products that inspire connection and bring joy to everyday life.

Thank you for supporting my journey and being a part of KoalaBlu’s story.

With love,
Chris
