We’re all aflutter at Babyology with the fabulous news that Pottery Barn Kids is heading Down Under!
Babyology writer Anita has done some snappy news spotting this morning – she has been a devotee of the sublime wares of Pottery Barn Kids for longer than she cares to remember, but like many Australians, she has had to gaze from afar. No longer! Sydney will become home to a shiny, new Pottery Barn Kids in the first half of 2013… or around Christmas this year – we’ve heard two conflicting reports!
US homeware giant Williams-Sonoma will open its first store outside of North America in Sydney’s Bondi Junction – and it will house Pottery Barn Kids, Pottery Barn, Williams-Sonoma and West Elm. The outlet will operate out of the Exchange Building, which is currently under construction – opposite Westfield Bondi Junction.
Pottery Barn Kids has been one of America’s premier retailers for children’s wares since 1999. It’s a veritable haven for any parent, with beautiful decorator items and furniture for nurseries and play spaces.
The Sydney Pottery Barn Kids store will include furniture, bedding, bathroom accessories, window treatments, rugs, lighting, decorative accessories, classic toys, nursery essentials and gear like luggage and backpacks.
The Sydney store will also have specially trained associates for complimentary in-store or in-home design services. In-store monogramming and baby and gift registry services will also be available. We simply cannot wait for the moment the doors are flung open, and we’ll keep you updated on an opening date.

This has me so excited! FINALLY!!
So happy about this! Spent hours and a small $ there when I was in the US! Hope their prices are similar to US prices when they arrive here.
That’s it, I’m not buying floor rugs until it opens!
So excited!! *happy dance* really hope they ship to Melbourne or open a store here too! :-)
Yippie!!! Can’t wait. Just hope prices are good.
This is the best news I’ve heard all week! Im so so so so so excited!!!!
Hopefully they will sell some of their amazing nursery furniture (especially the rockers!!)
As an American expat living here, I am very excited – I hope they ship to Melbourne. I just hope they are aware that we can look online and see the US$ and don’t want to feel ripped off!
I have phoned and emailed these guys a million times to start a store in Australia and they always said NO! Good to see they have come to their senses – hope they open one in what is currently the richest state in Australia
When my parents went to O.S last month I sent them with a Williams Sonoma list of Star Wars items to bring back. What good news that I may not need to send another list with her next time!
Yayness!
