Let’s face it, everything that the Swedes do is good and cult label Fjällräven Kånken is no exception. Kånken backpacks were launched in 1978 as a solution to back problems appearing in young school children. The bags began to appear at preschools and nature schools, and now are seen on the backs of children and adults all over the world. Originally hailing from the small town of Örnsköldsvik, a place renowned for its scenic landscapes, Fjällräven has developed into a global company that is committed to making nature more accessible with innovative and functional products.

One-Stop Shop Baby Junction provides the kind of service and advice you just can’t Google. Baby Junction is a South Australian owned business that offers over 1500 products, both in-store and online for just about everything bub related you could possibly think of. Baby Junction owner Brooke Marett knows that the baby product market is saturated and that navigating through the maze of furniture, capsule, pram, toy and care options can be daunting for first time parents. Brooke is proud of the one-on-one service that her store offers every customer, ‘We start with general conversation about what you are looking for, and then with a few key questions we are normally able to guide you towards the products that match your lifestyle fairly quickly.’ ‘Parents love that we can take them from an overwhelming number of options down to a few quite simply, from there we find it flows easily through all the essentials.’ When selecting stock, Brooke looks for high quality, heirloom style products from all around the world that you can’t necessarily find in big department stores. Her main three requirements are safety, versatility and longevity. Many of Baby Junction’s furniture items are cleverly designed to grow with your child. One of the many great brands stocked by the store is ‘Leander’. Leander is a Danish baby furniture company that produces cots that convert to toddler beds and then couches. They also make change table dressers where you can remove the changer top in order to have a lovely chest of drawers as your little one grows. Baby Junction also offers a range of unique services, designed to make new parenting life just that little bit easier. Brooke knows that purchasing all new baby products can be a strain on parents so she has introduced a range of new items into the hire rotation. Baby Junction has always offered capsule hire, but now parents can hire car seats, prams, port-a-cots and bassinets. These items can be hired anywhere from 1 week to 6 months or more. There is also a professional car seat installer on site 4 days a week to install your car seat, adjust rear facing car seats to forward facings ones, or even just to check up that everything looks safe on your own installation. If you have a baby shower on the horizon, Baby Junction’s new online registry feature means that you can create a gift list at the click of a button and receive items that you actually need (and love) at your baby shower.

We spend one-third of our lives in bed so let’s make it count! Mini Rodini has just released a collection of organic bedding free from the hazardous nightmares normally found in conventional fabrics. The collection is also certified by GOTS and Fairtrade. The manufacturing of conventional fabrics often requires an enormous number ofchemicals that eventually end up in our bedrooms. This choice of bedding is not only better for our planet, but also our health. You can also get your ZZZ’s guilt free because GOTS is the strictest certification for organic material on the market today and includes rigid controls throughout the entire manufacturing process. The cotton farmers who produce the cotton used in this product have fair working- and living conditions. Having two independent certifications function as an extra safety and warranty that Mini Rodini’s products are both sustainably and ethically produced. Mini Rodini acknowledges that the clothing industry is one of the world’s largest polluters and consumes more water than agriculture. They take responsibility for their own industry, but also speak out against fast fashion and seek to educate their consumers. ‘How you care for your garment accounts for 25 % of its environmental impact. Let’s make the best out of those numbers.’ Mini Rodini And the best part is the collection is absolutely ADORABLE! Take our money please. @mini_rodini Available in Australia from kidostore.com

In the words of Chanel ‘Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live and what is happening’. This is why we must rid ourselves of the idea that fashion should stop once we become mothers, especially while we are breastfeeding. Motherhood is a celebration of life, so why not celebrate in style? We’re not talking designer gowns, we mean the kind of effortlessness and chic simplicity of Madri Collection. Their ‘ready-to-mother line’ empowers women to breastfeed everywhere and to remain stylish (and comfortable) while doing so. Madri Founders Ashley Melone and Danielle Walish were inspired by the Italian culture, which holds the mother on the highest pedestal and unapologetically celebrates style. They believe in superior garments, which allow mothers to nurse their baby effortlessly, whether at the breast or via pump. Madri pieces are made in New York City from quality textiles with the intention of feeling good against the skin for both mother and babe. Each design has been cleverly tailored to allow access without feeling overexposed. This aims to empower women to feel more comfortable breastfeeding in all situations, from their offices, to restaurants, to parties. madricollection.com@madricollection

From the ground up…to the street! Jag & Knox is a kid’s street-wear label designed by mum of 2, Jordan McCarthy. The micro label produces trendy gender-neutral garments with a raw edge feel. After previously owning a women’s fashion boutique with her sister, Jordan’s love of fashion never died. ‘As much as spending all day playing monster trucks and watching Cat in the hat 10 times a day is fun, we all deserve a bit of time out and time to do something we love,’ says Jordan. It’s easy to dream of creating the next best small business or clothing line, but Jordan literally picked up a pen and paper, began sketching and made it a reality. Now, as she describes ‘With a 10 month old hanging off my leg’ she singlehandedly runs Jag & Knox, designing the clothes, marketing and running of the social media and website. Here’s a clap and a cheer for working mums! @jagandknoxjagandknox.com.au
