What our experts say...
The pattern I received is sooooooo cute – little palm trees! The wrap is super soft and I can’t get it off my little one. He has grown a huge liking to this wrap and it even helps him drift off to sleep. I love the generous sizing, the way the fabric feels – very luxe indeed. Minimal packaging and it arrived in perfect condition.
I love that the brand is a member of Sedex, working to improve working conditions in global supply chains. I think that’s wonderful. I also love that their goal is to leave the smallest footprint possible and encourage others to do the same by making useful eco-parenting products that are sustainable but still stylish and fun.

I loved the funky pattern of the Designer Bums swaddle, I have not seen anything quite like it. The swaddle itself is very large, which makes it versatile in its use. We mainly use swaddles for spit-ups and blankets on our many picnic trips. The swaddle was used by both my newborn son and toddler daughter and is currently a staple in our baby bag.
I appreciate that Designer Bums sources ethical and environmentally friendly materials for their swaddles, as well as limited packaging which are recyclable.

Silky soft to the touch and vibrantly colourful, this is an absolutely gorgeous muslin. I love that it is extra large – not only does it create a cosy swaddle but it’s also so wonderfully versatile becoming a portable play mat, sun cover for a pram, towel for an impromptu swim, breastfeeding cover and so much more. Being so beautiful and versatile, it will stay in use and be enjoyed for years to come. Highly recommended.
