Choosing the right fabrics to decorate your little one's nursery or picking out the choices that will sit pretty in his/her first wardrobe is a something every parent does with utmost detailing. If you are looking for great options to pick for your newborn's bedding and clothing, here is a recent entrant to the market that you need to consider. Here's why.
About BumbleBee:
BumbleBee, started in mid-2017, focusses on making comfortable cotton bedding linen and clothing for your newborn that has some of the best hand-crafted designs and bright colours for your child's nursery.
The force behind BumbleBee:
Ayushi Natani- an MBA in Finance, the founder of BumbleBee, recollects her childhood and how she was exposed to a myriad of colours and designs right from a young age and aims at recreating the joy of "home-stitched" heart-warming clothing for babies and kids that will rekindle some lovely childhood memories for today's urban parents. When she noticed the glaring gap in the Indian market to cater to kids' bedding, she decided to specialise BumbleBee on the popular crafts forms such as Hand-Katha and block printing and other distinct desi craftsmanships.
"Every BumbleBee product hopes, not to be an expense, but an investment. We simply want to recreate some memories and pamper little ones with all the care & love that a stitch has to offer, and that is our single biggest differentiating factor."
Products:
BumbleBee deals with a range of mulmul Dohars, Hand-block and Hand-Kantha quilts and other clothing essentials for your newborn. Each of these products is made of 100% cotton to make sure your newborn is comfortable and feels cosy. They also deal with complete bedding sets, cot sheets, cot bumpers, pillows, bolsters, swaddles, bibs, frocks, collared shirts and angarakhas for kids. They have also launched their latest collection- crocheted toys for kids made from 100% Merino wool yarn.
They source their cotton fabrics from Jaipur and Jodhpur while the hand quilting and the hand Kantha are done by the local expert artisans from the neighbouring villages.
How to order:
At present customers can place their orders on their Facebook or Instagram page. Once you reach out on the desired product, after discussing the bundling options, the customisation applicable and the payment (net banking or even PayTM), you get your favourite designs delivered to your doorstep.
​​​Price range:
The quilts are prices starting from Rs 1299, while the Dohars are from Rs 999 onwards. You can also try out their complete bedding sets priced between Rs 1999 and Rs 3999.
What Kidsstoppress thinks of this:
- If you are a fan of the famous Jaipuri hand-block and hand-Kantha work-you are going to love this collection at BumbleBees. We love the desi touch it gives to our child's nursery.
- Also, the fact that this collection- with a unique craftsmanship- is easy to maintain for time-pressed parents, as they are pre-washed, can be customised and can also be washed in a washing machine is definitely a big positive.
- At present, you can place orders through their FB/Insta pages- but we hear that they are looking to tie up soon with online aggregators to help reach a wider audience. As a parent- it also will give us convenience to browse through their collections- comparing the designs and prices in one go- with the help of a site etc that aids shopping too.
- With the number off new bedding brands mushrooming in the Indian market- we will have to wait and see how BumbleBee aims to capture the young parent customer base with their delightful designs and superior quality products.
