OUR STORY

How Hadley Hampers Was Born

Hadley Hampers was founded by Claire Whitbread and Diane Belan with a shared belief that gifting should feel considered, personal, and genuinely meaningful.

The idea came from a simple observation. Too often, gifting feels rushed or generic. There was an opportunity to create something different. A modern approach to gifting that brings together thoughtful curation, beautiful presentation, and products people truly want to receive.

Claire, Founder of Hadley and Home, a boutique home and lifestyle store in Toorak, brings a refined eye for premium product, visual merchandising, and exceptional customer experience. Her experience building and curating a retail environment, and understanding what customers are naturally drawn to, plays a central role in every hamper created. Hadley Hampers takes its name from this foundation, building on a legacy of thoughtful retail and considered living.

Diane brings a career in marketing and digital across luxury fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands, alongside years as a senior leader within a global financial services brand. This experience has shaped a deep understanding of the customer and what makes a brand truly resonate. Combined with a strong instinct for storytelling and detail, it informs the brand’s creative direction and overall brand expression.

Together, Hadley Hampers has been built as a modern house of gifting. Every detail is considered, every product has a place, and every gift is designed to feel as special as the person receiving it.
