Bajo and Big Dreams: A Story of Integrity, Courage, and Connection
At Big Dreams, every brand we bring into our store carries a story—a story of craftsmanship, quality and heart. Few brands embody this more than Bajo, the beloved wooden toy brand from Poland that has been delighting children and parents alike with its beautifully designed, sustainably made toys. But our connection with Bajo runs deeper than simply stocking their toys—it’s a story of trust, integrity, and shared values.
The Road to Bajo in Australia
When Bajo sought representation in Australia, they didn’t just look for a distributor—they looked for a partner who would honour their ethos and share their passion for creativity and play. They chose Agent88, a boutique agency known for championing independent retailers and ethically sourced brands. And behind Agent88, they found someone whose values aligned perfectly with their own: Mary, the heart and soul of Big Dreams.
A Partnership Built on Strength and Vision
Bajo knew Mary wasn’t just another retailer—she was a force for good in the independent retail community. Over 15 years of stocking Bajo toys at Big Dreams, Mary had built more than just a store—she had built a community. When Agent88 approached Mary to take the lead in showcasing Bajo to independent retailers across Australia, it was because they saw her dedication and her heart for the brand.
But this partnership is about more than sales. It’s about integrity, resilience, and standing firm in values.
Strength Through Adversity
The past few years tested small businesses like never before. Local government overreach, shifting regulations, and external pressures have pushed many independent retailers to the brink. But Mary stood firm—protecting her staff, supporting her community, and holding her business together through it all. She never compromised on her values, never lost sight of what mattered most, and never stopped fighting for the heart of her business.
Her resilience didn’t go unnoticed. Bajo, a brand built on values of sustainability and creativity, recognised that same spirit in Mary. They saw a partner who would represent their brand not just with skill but with heart and authenticity.
A Testament to Integrity and Trust
Being chosen by Bajo and Agent88 is more than a business milestone—it’s a testament to Mary’s years of dedication and her refusal to compromise on her principles. It’s proof that standing your ground and staying true to your values can forge the strongest partnerships.
Bajo in Australia—In Good Hands
Today, Bajo toys are available not only at Big Dreams but also through a network of independent retailers who have partnered with Agent88 to bring these cherished toys to families across Australia. It's a collaboration built on trust, shared values, and a mutual love for quality, creativity and play.
