About Us — My Story Behind HerShield Essentials

I started HerShield Essentials because I know what it feels like to move through the world with a little bit of fear in the back of your mind. Whether it’s walking to your car at night, travelling alone, or simply wanting the people you love to be safe, that feeling stays with you. I wanted something small, simple, and reliable that could offer real peace of mind — not just for me, but for anyone who’s ever wished they felt a little more protected.

What began as a personal search for safety quickly turned into a mission. I realised how many people felt the same way I did, yet didn’t know where to start or what was actually legal to carry in Australia. So I created a safety keychain that wasn’t bulky, intimidating, or complicated — just practical tools that could genuinely help in an emergency. A 180 dB alarm, a whistle, a window breaker, a seatbelt cutter — essentials that fit in your hand but can make a life‑saving difference.

I built this business because I believe safety shouldn’t feel scary, overwhelming, or out of reach. It should feel empowering.

Safety, Styled — and Legal 🇦🇺

One thing became clear very quickly: not all safety keychains online are made with Australian laws in mind. That worried me — because the last thing anyone needs is to carry something they think is protective, only to find out it isn’t allowed.

So I made a promise to myself and to every customer who chooses HerShield Essentials:
Everything we offer is compliant with Australian legal requirements. Always.

That means you never have to wonder if what you’re carrying is allowed. You never have to second‑guess your safety choices. And you never have to trade style for legality or peace of mind.

HerShield Essentials is built on three pillars:

• Chic — because safety can look good

• Considered — because every tool has a purpose

• Compliant — because legality matters

Peace of mind is the ultimate accessory.
So next time you see a safety keychain, ask yourself:

✨ Is it legal in Australia?
With HerShield Essentials, the answer is always yes.

💗 Designed for your safety. Styled for your life.

Why I Do This

I didn’t start this business to sell keychains.
I started it because I wanted people — women, men, teens, parents, travellers, commuters — to feel safer in their everyday lives. I wanted to create something that could make someone feel more confident walking out the door. Something that could help in a moment that matters.

This isn’t just a product for me. It’s personal.
It’s about giving people the reassurance I once wished I had.
