Milk Belly Boutique

It all began with a lockdown baby & a cardigan, lovingly hand knit by my grandmother & gifted to Adelaide (the baby).

I loved all of Adelaide’s cardigans for the sentimental, practical & handmade qualities, but I wanted to add a little something extra …. cue Milk Belly & the personalisation of children’s knitwear.

With the birth of our second baby, Miss Margot I started to collaborate with amazingly talented ladies who have founded some stunning UK small businesses! (check out my latest collaborations) I have introduced a couple of new styles such as the embroidered muslin swaddle blanket, wrap knit jumpers & focused on ensuring I offered premature & newborn sizes - inspired by our teeny tiny 4.5Lb Margot.

Most importantly over the years of I have come to learn that a cardigan, or any knitwear really, is not only a staple piece of clothing in a babies wardrobe -especially when its handmade - but it is also a cherished keepsake & that fashion & clothing should be slow, sustainable, stylish & treasured forever pieces wherever possible. Which is why at Milk Belly I continue to champion UK handmade collaborations such as the beautiful blankei.

Whether you are looking for a newborn gift, a naming knit, a bridal party piece, sibling sets, a beautiful blankei, or a simply stylish cardigan all of the products at Milk Belly come with a little extra embroidered magic to create an heirloom piece.
