About Us

This is us - Jo and Marika! Two grown up kids making fun fashions for small folk. Polka; wearables for small folk - first began in Summer 2008, the more widely known Polka; a 19th-century Bohemian dance with three steps and a hop, in fast duple time, has been around for, well… quite some time longer. Both are fun, happy & joyous. Our Polka took off like a Rocket and we’ve been chasing it ever since! We design what we like, which is a lot of things really! It’s no wonder each collection doesn’t end up looking like a dog’s breakfast (apologies to overseas readers - if that is one of those kooky Australian sayings?). We are Australian - though Jo is from Canada originally, and we kind of wish we were Danish, and perhaps should have be living in the 60’s or 70’s. We are lovers of  Tokyo & Scandinavian street fashion, and both vintage retro and modern futuristic. Bohemian Folk & Blacks and Brights. Pattern & Prints are king, and pastels are passé. We love kids and their boundless energy, which is why their fashions are just so much fun.
