If there’s one thing a snoozy 3am night feed taught me in the last year and a half, it was how to dig out a really brilliant baby brand on Instagram.
Whether that was for the ultimate pair of cute baby flares, the sweetest hand embroidered knit or a memory book to document those magical and hazy first twelve months; I like to think I’ve curated a pretty solid list of some of those best brands, so thought I’d try and create a little directory here to come back to and share (I know I’ve absolutely forgotten lots of lovely ones, so I promise I’ll keep adding back)!
So whether you’re after some pre-loved vintage wares for your little one, a gift for a special new arrival or some unique additions to their nursery, I thought I’d share a list of some of my favourite brands for little people that I go back to again and again…
For a little bit of everything…
Leiwood – My favourite place for… everything. Sandals, paddling pools, buckets and spades, jackets- the lot. It’s all beautiful.
Junior Edition- The home of pretty much every beautiful baby brand out there; from toys to clothes. Their store in Brighton is heavenly too.
Bonton- I mean, it’s French- it’s going to be cool. I love their homewear bits, and although the clothing is slightly more expensive, they have some beautiful pieces.
Sea Whistle- A small children’s shop in Hastings with the most beautiful curation of clothes and toys.
Buttercup- Although Buttercup do clothes, it’s their toys and books that melt my heart. It’s every little ones dream (and mine too).
Cam Cam Copenhagen – For the most beautiful nursery and bedding additions, the most heavenly prints and pieces for the early days.
Little Midnight- The most gorgeous basics, overalls and nursery additions.
Pine & Treasure – Everything from vintage interiors and knitwear for yourself and little ones.
Smallable – I picked up lots for Arlo’s nursery when he was first born from here, the most amazing selection of everything and some really special brands.
