MELBOURNE 2026 WINNER - KEPLER KEYCHAINS
MELBOURNE 2026 WINNER - KEPLER KEYCHAINS
Kepler Keychains was born from a real moment of fear and the realisation that women in Australia deserve better safety tools. After a terrifying personal experience, their founder Tyrelle created a product that’s legal and actually useful in different emergencies.
Each keychain features a 130dB personal alarm, a window breaker pen, seatbelt cutter, and more. Kepler is more than just a product, it’s a movement of women choosing confidence over fear.
Kepler Keychains have been featured in national media, on podcasts, and proudly partner with Escabags, donating a portion of sales to support women and children escaping domestic violence. Kepler is about safety and community and if your customers value those things too, they’d love to be part of your store.
