Tame Teddy

Konges Sløjd

How cute is this organic cotton knit toy from Konges Sløjd? The Denmark-based company was founded by interior designer and stylist Emilie Konge. Now you can bag this from the tasteful Dubai-based design store The Bowery Company. It’s got a small bell inside for added stimulation, too!

In Bloom

Elodie Details

Pretty princesses will adore this floral bib, and so will time-poor parents. It features two layers of Oeko-Tex-certified and waterproof soft cotton, which means it’ll stay dry and it’s very easy to clean. It’s also super-simple to fasten. Double win.

The rush for stylish back-to-school products is on. One that’s caught our eyes is this pinkgold backpack with the adjustable straps and plenty of handy pocket space. It’s got an ergonomic design, ensuring our little ones’ spines are always safe. And let’s not forget that original furry monkey charm.

Did you know that Tzarina by Ollia, a brand beloved by Hollywood thanks to its colourful faux fur creations, has headquarters in Dubai? J-Lo, Mary J Blige and the Kardashians have been spotted in one. I think it’s time we were on that list, don’t you?

Bag It

ChildHome

Not only is there a Mommy Bag (sorry Brits, no “mummy” bag here), but there’s also a Daddy Bag up for grabs. This one comes in cream, peach and navy, while pop’s comes in black. It’s ginormous; great for big broods and weekends away.

Cool Cats

Okiedog

Okiedog has all sorts of fun, critterinspired backpacks available in its Wild Pack collection. We’re quite partial to this tiger. We think it’s cute, perfectly sized for littles, plus it’s a bargain when you buy it from Sprii.com.
