First Babygrow! Why hide them when you can display them?

Babygrow Framing: How it all began

I think we’re all in the same boat here, even we’ve done it, put our loved ones’ first babygrow away somewhere safe. Then during a tidy up, or more likely changing to the next size clothes, you stumble across it at the back of a wardrobe or cupboard.

You can’t help but get it out and hold it up, remembering how small they were, how amazing an experience it was. Then eventually put it back in the box or bag to be returned to its place of safe keeping, not to be seen for a while. We actually did this, found it while changing Jasper’s wardrobe clothes to the next size up and then thought “why not hang it up and display it”! That way we can always remember how small Cody our Head of Quality Control was when he was born.

A quick scour of the internet and surprisingly there wasn’t much on offer, plenty of How-To’s for DIY mounting and a small handful of companies offering what looks like an amateurish offering. Neither the DIY options nor the ‘professional’ offerings matched the quality we wanted. A bit more research and we discovered that the cheap and amateur framers can simply staple or glue the garment to the mount. This would obviously cause damage to a babygrow during framing and worse if we ever wanted to remove it from the frame, it could cause even more damage, ruining that precious memory.

After searching high and low, speaking to loads of different companies, we finally found one that truly understood the quality we wanted. After months of collaboration, testing and design changes, we are now proud to offer what we would consider the most professional baby clothes framing service on the market.

There’s absolutely no staples or glue used in mounting your clothes! We carefully mount them using small tags and safety pins (if needed), which means no damage. If you ever wanted to take the clothes back out of the frame you can do so with no damage at all, not that we think you’d ever want to. This process does costs more in materials, in skill and in time, so if you are considering using a cheaper service, do check how they mount the clothing and specifically ask if they use glue or staples.
