Baby Jane Booties & Bows

A month or so ago, my friend Candy aka @cuckoo_sing told me that her friend Marie makes baby shoes and wanted to send something for Xavi. I was excited of course, but more so when I opened her package and realized she makes the cutest baby shoes ever! 

 

These 100% cotton baby booties from her line, Baby Jane, are reminiscent of the Robeez ones that Berry wore when she was still learning to walk. Since Robeez are made of leather, and a bit too warm for our weather here in Manila, these cloth baby booties are just perfect. Plus, the prints are too cute!

Baby Jane also has bow ties for boys, that doubles as a hair bow for Atchi Berry!

Marie is an interior designer by profession, so it comes as no surprise that she has a finely tuned eye when it comes to prints and color. Every piece she makes has a fun, preppy vibe and look simply super chic and adorable on the little ones!

There really is a special quality in her booties and bows. Maybe because everything from Baby Jane is handmade with love, the booties are thoughtfully pre-washed using biodegradable detergent and come in canvas dust bags complete with care instructions.

I think these make great baby shower, christening or birthday gifts for baby boys. Receiving one makes you feel like much thought and care was taken in choosing that particular piece given to you, much the same way when Marie sat down to make that one special piece with her own loving hands.
