About babye



How babye was born
We launched babye nearly six years ago in Ealing, West London overlooking Pitzhanger Manor and not far from Ealing Studios after finding that we couldn't buy stylish maternity and baby products locally. The online shop was launched in August 2006 and is going from strength to strength. Our customers love what we do and nothing makes us prouder than seeing the same customers come back time and time again. Now we have expanded and have a second shop in Chiswick in the lovely Devonshire Road.
We look for the very best luxury baby products from all over the world including designer brands but also including products produced by mums just like me who have launched their own businesses as a way of managing the constant juggle of having a family. The products these creative mums come up with are truly inspirational.
We are passionate about what we sell and our brands and suppliers subscribe to ethical manufacturing policies which include:
We are also sourcing suppliers who subscribe to organic raw materials and will actively look to link up with brands that offer organic products. We also do our best to recycle our packaging - often used to pack our online orders.
babye really is a family run business, so special thanks to Nick, Pat & Bill & of course, to Rad & Lula for making me a very proud mummy indeed. Thanks to John Day for providing our original photography and to CJ Williams for doing our new photography, not forgetting our lovely baby e staff - Kristine, Katie, Anna, the two Rachels, Clare, Hannah, Clarissa & Francesca for all their contributions and finally, not forgetting the thousands of customers who visit us and continue to support babye locally, thank you everyone.
Any comments gratefully received and if you have anything that you would like to see being sold online or are a supplier, please contact us - we do take time to consider every idea or proposal.
Many thanks and happy shopping!
Best wishes
Elizabeth
