LATCHED
Latched launched in 2018 by mum Natalie after the birth of her first child Harper. Frustrated by what was available for breastfeeding mums she launched her collection with 3 items. Before Harper’s first birthday she was pregnant again and with two under two and a new business she expanded the collection to include maternity activewear fit for purspose. The collection now offers breastfeeding sports bras and jumpers, maternity & postnatal leggings, shorts and vests plus accessories to keep you moving. Visit Latched and use code LSB10 for 10% off.
PATTIE & CO
Pattie & Co. is run by London-based mum, Cat Price, who discovered the joys of muslin fabric when her son was born in 2016. Having previously been a stranger to the multipurpose magic of muslin, Cat soon found herself unable to leave the house without a set of muslin squares for burping, wiping, drying, shading, peek-a-booing and all the other activities that everyday life with a baby involves! But she soon discovered that many of the muslin products she bought quickly lost their shape, colour and softness.
Feeling frustrated at the lack of good-quality muslin available, Cat set out to make her own! Fast forward to today and Pattie & Co. offers a range of muslin squares, blankets, swaddles and bibs featuring joyful rainbow patterns. Everything is made from planet-friendly organic cotton for second-to-none softness and kindness to babies’ delicate skin.
