Bathing Baby and Working with Mum and Dad

Working with mum and dad is an essential part of growing up, and the joy of bathing a new baby or making food for grandma (Little Swans have a vested interest as we love cooking - especially with chocolate) are just two ideas for our wonderful 'working together' clothes,  which Little Swans have delivered to Babye, Ealing this month.  

This wonderful range was originally designed to help keep little ones dry when helping with the care of baby siblings e.g. bathing baby.  The range includes a full length, two sided tabard in Liberty Art Fabrics with a practical waterproof liner. The garment has been designed to have a front and back which can be reversed. This tabard is coordinated with a full length apron for adults.  The Liberty Art Fabric adult apron has a full size waterproof liner and is supplied with a detachable corsage embellishment.

We were so delighted with the success of this range of aprons that we determined to extend the range by adding a more stereotypically masculine version for our little ones.  As a result we have created a macho version, a carpenters apron which is fastened at the waist and has three huge pockets to keep baby's bath accessories or little one's hammer and screwdriver in, depending on the activity at hand. Keeping to the more 'masculine' theme we have made the first of these carpenter's aprons in Tom's Jets, Liberty Art Fabric.  

Little Swan's is about coordinating Liberty Fabrics so we have also delivered a small number of our other ranges in mustard and grey Tom's Jets.

Buzzy Buzzy Buzzy Bees

With the fine weather over the last few days Little Swans have been focussing on our stock management processes and enthusiastically building up new relationships ready for our Autumn collections.  

We have just delivered the first instalment of our Summer 2012 collection to babye in Ealing, London.  For the first time we have matching headbands for all ladies 0-99 years. Originally we only made very large bow bands for Mummy's upon individual request but babye have asked for our head bands in three sizes - birth to toddler; toddler to child; child to adult.  They are on a universal band so although the designs and bow sizes differ the bands do fit universally. Also to give ladies a range of options the bow on their headband is moveable and re-movable.  For safety reasons the bands for younger females have fixed bows.

Babye have a good range of bibs, toy catchers, changing pads and waterproof 'hold it together' bags.  They have been made to co-ordinate in three Liberty Art Fabrics, Pepper (Red, White and Blue palate); Pepper (Pink and white palate) and Keiko (Aqua and Violet palate).  

We are in production on our latest lines for the males in the family - Liberty Art Fabric Bow Ties.  We will be supplying babye with our new bow-ties in the next few weeks ready for sale later in June 2012.  We are making bow-ties for: - babies to toddlers and toddlers to child's sizes.  We are currently testing the market and fine tuning the final product but pictures will be available to entice you next week.  We have not made bow ties for men but will do this on commission only, at this time.

If you are able to pop into babye please do so, they will be pleased to see you.  If not why not google them and see our items coming on line on their website over the next few months.

Remember if you have a desire for any item for a baby which Liberty fabric can produce please ring us and talk with us - we are keen to take on new ideas and commissions at any time.

Little Lent...How appropriate, it's Heavenly Headbands

Planning for a wedding day means paying attention to the littlest of details.  From table favours, to boutonnieres, to dressing your favourite Flower girls, an eye for detail is desired.  With friends and family recently enjoying their nuptials, we have been commissioned to make bridesmaid dresses, wedding favours and accessories for flower girls.

Breaking away from the more traditional flower circle, or tiara, we now bring to you our range of Heavenly Headbands.  Priced at a Little Swans steal of £6. (and with free postage and packing for Lent, with code, LENT), all headbands are made with Liberty Art Fabric and are adorned with a gorgeous and stylish bow.

The Heavenly Headbands fit most head sizes, from toddlers to adults and can be worn for parties, weddings, or allowing yourself a bit of everyday glamour!
Mosey on over to the Little Swans Little Shop for more details and to snap up a style.
