World renowned for fostering independent thinking and design, Melbourne is a hothouse when it comes to creativity. This rings true in so many spheres of life and design, and is especially true when it comes to beautiful and unique items for babies and children.  Have you ever wondered if there is a place online that brings all of Melbourne’s most beautiful and innovative designers of baby and infant clothing and accessories together? Well there is: introducing Baby Be Natural – www.babybenatural.com.au.

Proprietor Loene is passionate about top quality, innovative designer clothing and accessories for babies and toddlers. She has bought together an amazing array of local labels and products all made by seriously talented mums and dads.

WOW! When Mariana at Bubba Funk – www.bubbafunk.com.au – goes on the hunt for hot new products she always turns up some crackers!

Have a look at some of the new brands she has arriving in store as we speak: Samvara Kids is a fantastical blend of princess and cowboy chic, with uber trendy boots and oh-so-girly tutus combining to create a look that any girl would cheerfully sacrifice her My Little Ponies to achieve.

Chalk n Cheese is another lovely one. Proudly manufactured in Melbourne, thus supporting local industry, these products are designed to go into a washing machine and coming out looking brand new every time – and if that isn’t a mother’s dream then I don’t know what is! I’m really loving the Girls Coat in Chocolate; I can’t think of a snugglier, more stylish way of keeping a little girl warm this winter.

There’s also new stock from Tiny Mammoth, Marquise and Heavenly Creatures, and Mariana tells me that she’s had a waiting list as long as her arm for the Moppit Bluey Jeans to arrive: well you can all hurry in and snap them up as they have finally arrived!

As if you needed more reason to shop at Bubba Funk, lucky KSF readerscan take 15% off store-wide at Bubba Funk until the 31st of May 2009. This discount *includes* new season’s stock AND sale items. Yeah!!! Use the code ‘KSF222′ at checkout to redeem.
