YmamaY

In a world of so many labels, it is easy to become a slave to the trends. Here at Kids Fashion Review we find it so refreshing to see a brand that offers something a little different. 

YmamaY does the most exquisite range of babies and children's wear. Their stylish interpretation of classic style and modern design leaves them a cut above other labels. 

Their fabrics are unique and beautiful, reflecting the seasons and the styling of their garments. The colour palettes used are subtle and sophisticated, and the production of smaller more frequent collections means that each piece is even more special.

Each collection ties with the last allowing the wearer to integrate pieces. For the cooler months layers are added and for the warmer they are removed, meaning that pieces are truly trans-seasonal.

Collections from YmamaY range from Newborn to 8yo, and are available from their New Zealand Concept Store and Online at www.ymamay.com.

Heirloom Christening Gowns Ivy Emerald Our Website of The Week

Ivy Emerald was established in early 2008 by Janice Schmitzer, a grandmother of 3, after recognising a gap in the market for heirloom quality Christening gowns and rompers for baby girls and boys.


‘I realised there was a gap in the market on the birth of my grandson when my daughter had great difficulty in sourcing a special boy’s gown for his Baptism. My 4 daughters and 2 granddaughters had all worn the same gown but we wanted something special for a little boy.’

Ivy Emerald’s divine, hand made designer gowns are handcrafted in Australia. Gowns are made from intricate hand beaded laces and silks and can be passed on to brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, granddaughters and grandsons.

An heirloom gown is really something to be treasured. Heirlooms link generations in a deep and personal way. A grandmother’s christening gown passed down through the generations can provide insight into and a richer understanding of a family’s history.

A Christening is a special celebration to which family and close friends attend when a baby is taken for their baptismal and christened with their name. It is an important occasion – putting Christenings alongside Weddings as a lovely gathering for families. Following the ceremony can be a celebration ranging from a small gathering with cake and coffee, to a huge party with much food and entertainment.

Ivy Emerald recognises the importance of dressing your baby in exquisite dress – a Christening gown is as big a part of the traditional Christening ceremony as the bride’s dress is on her Wedding day.

Ivy Emerald now also stock an exquisite range of flower girls dresses up to age 8 .

Monte + Tex is the latest must have fashion label for babies that is non allergenic, environmentally friendly and stylish too!


The label, created by 28 year old Sydney based designer Alisha Oxley, was established after she witnessed first hand the frustration experienced by her family surrounding the birth of her baby cousin, who suffered from skin allergies and eczema.

“We had trouble not only finding clothing that didn’t irritate his skin, but that were practical too.

With the growing number of children born suffering from skin allergies, added to the heightened concern for environmental awareness, I decided I wanted to create something that was not only good for kids and kinder on the environment, but that was also stylish and funky”.

And thus, Monte + Tex was born, proving a label can have a conscience whilst, maintaining its cool.

All products are made of 95% bamboo and 5% spandex, allowing for practical items that are anti-bacterial, environmentally sustainable, super absorbent and just plain better!

Already a favourite of celebrity yummy mummies such as Nicole Kidman and Sarah Wynter, Monte + Tex is sure to be a hit with mums and bubs across Australia!

Maternal Touch

After working with babies AND wrapping babies in the many different and complicated wraps that are available to parents...Samantha designed her own baby wrap. The Maternal Touch Baby Wrap is made out of 100% NZ Merino. Merino is soft, comfortable and luxurious and is ideal as a baby wrap as it creates its own microclimate around the baby, protecting the body by drawing away heat in the warmer months and insulating the body in the cooler months. Merino also has a smooth non- irritating surface, making it suitable for a baby’s sensitive skin.

7 GREAT reasons to use a Maternal Touch Baby Wrap!

Designed by Samantha Ferreira leading baby expert the Maternal Touch Baby Wrap has a special pocket sewn into one side of the wrap. A pleat with a handmade bow is also sewn into the pocket. This is where baby’s feet go in and therefore baby can never kick the wrap off.

Unlike many wraps available, your baby will never grow out of a Maternal Touch Baby Wrap due to their size and weight. The wrap has been carefully designed to allow your baby to grow as much as possible, and can be used until 6 months and then under the arm wrapping from 6 months onwards.

The wrap helps prevent babies from waking themselves up when they come into a light sleep, as the wrap is secure enough to prevent the startle reflex, allowing babies to fall back into a deep sleep naturally.

Hassle free; no need to take blankets and sheets when out and about…the wrap is all you need.

Economical; after using the Maternal Touch Baby Wrap….throw it in the machine on gentle wash and it will come out looking brand new!!!

The Maternal Touch Baby Wrap is designed by someone who works with babies every day, giving her expert inside knowledge on how babies work.

And lastly………Proudly designed and made in New Zealand! The Maternal Touch Baby Wrap is one of the best gifts you can give to someone who is expecting a new baby, or buy one for your own wee bundle of joy. The Wrap is beautifully presented in a gorgeous white organza bag, with wrapping instructions.

The Maternal Touch Baby Wrap has been tried and tested by many KFR Members and we are always receiving amazing feedback on this product

MADE IN AUSTRALIA GENTLE & SAFE PRODUCTS FOR BABY & ALL THE FAMILY

Womb with a view

Keep baby feeling warm, snuggled and secure, much like they were in the womb! Is great for use in the day and also for sleeping. I recommend using a light wrap under the cocoon for sleeping so that little fingers and toes don't escape through the knit (although this is very cute!). Prevents startle reflex from waking baby as their arms are safely tucked away inside the cocoon.


I fell in love with The Womb with a View last year when we received two of them at our office.They are so soft just devine. Hand made in Australia by Edan Rose.

To use you simply roll the cocoon down and place baby in feet first and then roll the cocoon up and over baby making sure babies head is exposed. - Instant cuteness, I guarantee you will get so many comments when your baby is wearing its "Womb with a View"!

These cocoons are available in a Premmie and Infant size, they are also available in a range of wools.

These make the most gorgeous baby gift and are available from Edan Rose at http://www.edanrose.etsy.com/  or www.madeit.com.au/EdanRose  .
