Throughout my born anxious journey , from designing a few t shirts for my own personal use for Oscar, because I felt so short changed from the ones I bought online, and really needing a communication tool to the outside world sometimes, just because some reactions and behaviours are so big !
Throughout all of this, deciding to share my ideas and creating an Etsy shop, then starting to blog, then the final plunge, a website I had always been adamant my range would be gender neutral , any t shirt for anyone , being a mum of a child who doesn’t choose to acknowledge his own gender and many autistic children don’t because they have other stuff going on , my child hasn’t gender confusion, but his gender isn’t on his radar at all , he’s a child ,he watches whatever he likes on tv ,and plays with whatever he likes, we do not gender stereotype at all , I dress him in boys clothes but if he selects a dress out of the dressing up box there is no reaction from us, he’s exploring, that should be a freedom all children can have , so when designing my range we have a gender neutral collection accessible for all .
However with Mother’s Day in mind I’m launching a range called ‘something for the mummy’s why? Here’s why
I’ve been asked many times, would I be launching a baggy t shirt and a vest? as t shirts are great but I think everyone has their own style, and personally as a girly girl I don’t wear regular t shirts everyday, so I decided to do a small collection of vests and baggy t shirts just for the mummys ,and I hope this doesn’t offend the Daddies! (who can wear them if they wish) but I had mums in mind when I created them their questions inspired the ideas.
it’s a collection within our main range for the mummies to add a little something just for them , I feel they deserve it .
We have been lucky enough to be given the chance to stock our ranges in the high street this is something I never dreamed possible so I’m eternally grateful to have our message of be kind in the high street it is everything I aimed for ,and hope our army continues to grow
