Avery Row make beautiful, luxury playmats. We have been using our Go Everywhere Mat since baby Violet was born and it has been super useful, this is what we love about it so far:
It looks gorgeous - the soft print, colours and quality of the trims - we get lots of compliments on it. A pop of colour leather strap holds it all easily in place when you roll it up. It can be used indoors and outdoors. It's unisex. It's padded and quilted for extra comfort for little bums. It's small so it doesn't take up too much room on your living room floor. When rolled up you can pop it in the bottom of your buggy or attach it to a buggy clip and take it to the park for a picnic. It has a hard wearing waxed cotton bottom making it water resistant but it's still machine washable, great for stopping muddy bums in the park. It's manufactured in the UK. It doesn't contain any harmful dyes or chemicals. It will be coming on holiday with us in a few weeks as a baby mat for by the pool, in the villa, on the beach, as a change mat - super versatile and useful.
I'm a massive fan of colour but there are some scary garish playmats out there, many which I would not want seen in my home - this one is super stylish and looks great in those all important Instagram photos. It is a little pricey at £65 however it is excellent quality and something that can be handed down as it will last. It would make a lovely baby shower or new mum gift.
We've also got one of their blankets which is made of super soft cotton, again in their signature pastel colours and geometric prints back with pops of brighter colours. At £40 this would also make a great new baby gift - perfect for the hospital or pram and a great summer blanket for naps outdoors and picnics. It's a great size and is going to be super handy for all our indoor and outdoor adventures this year.
The blankets are reversible, we have the 'Over the Moon' pattern but it also comes in 'Criss Cross' and 'Line up' as below and love the unisex colours that would look gorgeous with any new baby.
Avery Row was set up by two mums, Helen and Fiona, who were keen to leave the rat race of proper jobs when they moved from New York back to their hometown of London and had children. They are interiors obsessed and also make fabrics and cushions in complimenting mix and match prints and colours so you could deck out your nursery with all their products. They have lots of exciting new product and projects to come too so watch this space! Thanks for the beautiful blanket gift Avery Row x
