The Smiley Bikkie Tote | The Pool Room

The Smiley Bikkie Tote | The Pool Room

My dad loves icing. He gets his fix in a semi-socially acceptable way by eating the most icingist smiley bikkie every time he comes across one in a cafe. It's usually my gift to him on the special occasions... A freshly iced batch of Arnotts arrowroot bikkies, plastered with lollies (and some smarties for eyes).

In fact, this is how this design came about. It was Father's day, 2025. I've given him so many smiley bikkies it feels like cheating. So I drew him one. I whacked it on a jumper. From there, this tote (and the Pool Room) was born. 

So enjoy taking this sweet, icingy bikkie of Aussie nostalgia with you every day to work, to school or even to the shops to pick up some arrowroots.

Enough of the story. This cream cotton tote features my hand-drawn Smiley Bikkie illustration with the coveted pink-iced, sprinkle-topped biscuit a kid (or Dad) could only dream of.

It's made from heavy 320 GSM cotton canvas, it’s sturdy enough for grocery hauls, beach towels, or your laptop, while definitely gifting you a smile or two.

Bring back the joy of the smiley face bikkie, I say. Let Dad's enjoy their icing proudly.
