Calling all stylish and savvy shoppers in the Melbourne metropolitan area: get your daily planners out and mark these dates as red-letter days: Friday 22, and Saturday 23 May 2009. These are the dates you’ll be taking trip to the 473 Malvern Road South Yarra Warehouse End of Line, Seconds and Samples Sale, where you’ll be able to score premium designer baby and kids fashion and accessories from Dwell Studio, Littlehorn, Minti, Edenstar, Petunia Picklebottom, Edenstar, Ducky Beau, Claesens Jnr, and Snugglebum from just – wait for it! – *$5.00*!!!!!

OMG. Seriously – this is making me dizzy!! (If you live interstate let me just say that flights are so cheap at the moment (try Tiger, Jetstar and Virgin) that now might just be the time to go on a little retail-therapy excursion to stock up for winter!!)

Ok, let me fill you in on all the details.

The stock is coming direct to you from the designers and distributors, some of whom will be present on the day, so you can meet them – many are Mums just like us! -  so the prices (did I say they start at just $5??!!! Crazy stuff!!) are the lowest you will find, and there will be plenty of current season’s designs available with overstock runs, samples, and seconds at unbeatable prices, with stock levels replenished daily. Each brand will have their own area and pay station within the venue, which will be spaciously laid out to to make your experience pleasant, easy, and quick.

Here’s a taste of what you can look forward to:

• Claesen’s will be selling their current Winter Fashion Sample Collection at wholesale prices, as well as summer fashion and underwear starting from $5.  Spend $100 and get a further 10% discount or spend $150 and receive a 20% discount!
• Ducky Beau from the Netherlands, specialising in newborn-12 mths will be offering a full range of current season’s winter clothing up to 50% off RRP.
• Edenstar, for girls and boys from 2–10 years,will be clearing seconds, samples and end of season stock at prices to make your eyes pop!
• Littlehorn is re-launching Summer 2010, and are clearing all previous season’s stock including winter 08 which is being shipped from overseas.
• Minti from New Zealand (now in their 10th season, and now entering the Australian market with a splash) will be clearing samples and end of season stock at super low prices.
• Nesting will be clearing a bounty of Dwell Studio soft furnishings and bed linen, Petunia Picklebottom nappy bags, and Moses baskets (these retail at $250, and will start at just $80 for first quality items).
• Snugglebum, makers of gorgeous 100% cotton  pyjamas, are clearing samples, seconds and previous seasons stock from newborn to size 14 years at incredible prices (some below cost!)

Other essential facts for planning your outing:

• Dates: Friday 22 May 2009 (10am-6pm) and Saturday 23 May 2009 (10am-2pm)
• Payment is by CASH ONLY
• The venue is on the first floor of 473 Malvern Road, South Yarra and there are a couple of short flights of stairs to enter
• Pram storage is available; please park under the stairs
• A children’s playroom and entertainment will be available
• Toilets are available on-site
• There is ample on-street parking on Malvern Road, and an abundance of great cafes in the area so you can make a day of it, and treat yourself to coffee and lunch after you’ve scooped your bargains!

Kounia-Bella – www.kounia-bella.com.au – is the name of a Greek lullaby, but it may as well mean “good taste lives here” as this is all you’ll find at this divine store.

I love the Tip Toey Joey shoes. All-over leather except for the non-slip rubber sole (for the six months + sizes), these little shoes have an extremely nifty elastic back which makes it easy for parents to get the shoes on but difficult for babies to pull them off again. Genius! And they are so CUTE!

Have you seen the HOTmilk maternity and breastfeeding lingerie before? Designed in New Zealand by a pregnant mum who – like many of us – didn’t like the range of maternity lingerie she saw in shops (“I’m pregnant not ninety!”) set out to design a range of maternity lingerie that was practical and beautiful and sexy.

The result is just breathtaking, and it’s gaining quite a cult following! You don’t often see it at discounted prices, and Stork Baby have a great range so snap it up here while the going’s good!
