Made for real parents, by a real parent

I use my experience as a parent of two busy children to create products that nurture kids’ independence and creativity. I have a real passion for making products that will ease some of the stress on your journey through parenthood, so you can focus on making memories and enjoying the key moments.

Handmade Hippo products are designed and made by me. By combining my love of patterned fabrics and my determination to help protect the environment, I create products that are as individual and unique as your little one. When you shop with Handmade Hippo you are being kind to the planet as well as supporting your kids’ individuality.

You can always get in touch with me if you have any questions at all about Handmade Hippo. I will always respond to messages as soon as I can but please be patient if you don’t have a reply immediately.

Testimonials

  • "My youngest has started wearing his brother's first Handmade Hippo apron and Kurt is in his new one. I'm feeling a bit left out! They are lovely and Kurt wants me to pass on that they are beautiful and he thinks you are very clever."

    Katie

  • "We are forever using our muslin swaddle. As well as being handy as a muslin, we use ours as a light blanket and sun shade all the time."

    Annie

  • "My three boys absolutely love the 'special cushions' that Father Christmas brought them a few years ago. Each year since then he has left them a book in the pocket for the children to find on Christmas morning! However, they are much more than a seasonal thing in our home, the boys sleep with them every night and ALWAYS take them away with us when we go on holiday to keep a little bit of home close, at bedtime. Thank you for creating such a lovely thing and being so helpful when I was choosing the fabric!"
