Babies in Sheep's Clothing is handmade in rural New Zealand 
(22/07/2009)
Lambskin and sheepskin clothing looks set to be 'the next big thing' because it allows the body to breathe and regulate its temperature naturally whatever the time of the year. Unlike plastic or oil based clothing it is not man made and doesn’t make babies and toddlers sweat.
Babies in Sheep's Clothing is a new range of lambskin and Merino clothes, booties and accessories made in New Zealand, that are guaranteed to prove popular with your little flock.
After Babies in Sheep’s Clothing founder Lysette Parbhu’s searched for a range of lambskin booties in the UK similar in style to a pair given to her first child proved fruitless, the brand was born and everything they do is underpinned by the passionate belief that natural clothing is best for everybody but particularly babies and children.
From baby wear and hats to fantastic Ugg-style booties and slippers, the ranges are designed specifically with babies and toddlers in mind and are completely handmade in rural New Zealand with all the materials ethically sourced and each piece made of natural fibres.
The company are also proud to be the exclusive stockists of Weebit hand-made merino ranges in the UK and there are no synthetics or polyesters in any of the Babies in Sheep’s Clothing ranges so they can go right next to your child's skin from birth – you can literally wrap them in a merino blanket and pop a pair of our lambskin booties on their feet for the journey home from hospital!
”I was given a pair of sheepskin booties by my mother in law for my eldest child when he was 8 weeks premature and just wanted to put them on him as soon as I could and thought that other parents would feel the same way,” says Babies in Sheep’s Clothing founder Lysette Parbhu. “Merino wool is as rare and sought-after as cashmere, but can be washed and is affordable so is one of the finest natural fibres available and all our lambskin products are produced with vegetable dyes that don’t impact on the environment.”
The Babies in Sheep’s Clothing ranges are classic styled and beautifully made with the intention of them being hardwearing, fun, organic and unique and children love the feeling of Merino and lambskin on their skin because it’s natural and doesn’t itch.
The material’s unique properties also mean that they allow your child’s body to breathe so they don’t overheat and lead to sweaty feet or heads!
“All the items are unisex so can be lovingly passed down to siblings and my children Jacob and Sam are very much the inspiration for the ranges,” adds Lysette. “Today people are much more aware of what is good for us, and putting natural, sustainable fibres to our skin is just the next step.”
