Popcorn Riot was born from a moment of carefree fun at the movies. After a spontaneous “popcorn riot” in a cinema where popcorn flew around the room, the name stuck—and so did the idea for a brand that celebrates joyful chaos and creativity. We wanted to take that fun energy and channel it into something kids (and their families) could wear and love every day.
Our Mission
At Popcorn Riot, we believe clothing should be anything but boring. That’s why we create bright, fun, and creative designs for everyone—starting with kids but expanding to anyone who loves a bit of color and playful flair. Why should kids have all the fun, right? Our mission is simple: to bring a splash of joy and individuality to every wardrobe and inspire people to be confident in their uniqueness.
What Makes Us Unique
The heart of Popcorn Riot lies in our hand-drawn designs. Each piece is inspired by the things we love most—our family, friends, childhood nostalgia, and a shared love for TV and movies. Our clothing tells a story, from playful prints to bold, colorful designs that stand out from the crowd. Whether it’s a nod to retro favorites or something whimsical, we make sure every item is made with creativity and passion.
Sustainability & Quality
We care deeply about the planet and want to ensure our brand reflects that. All our clothing is made from 100% cotton, produced ethically in Honduras, while our designs and decorating happen in our studio in Ashburton, New Zealand. We also use compostable and recycled packaging wherever possible because sustainability is as important to us as creativity.
Our Vision
Our dream is to see Popcorn Riot grow into something bigger—whether that means being featured in stores around the world or even opening our own retail space one day. But more than anything, we want our clothing to bring joy to kids and their families. We want people to feel free to express themselves, have fun, and be proud of their individuality while wearing our designs.
