I am so excited and proud to be sharing a fantastic business with you today. My wonderful best friend Emma, has today launched Violet’s Retreat; a bespoke range of gorgeous handmade crocheted hats, blankets and cushions with many more product ranges to follow.
Her prices are beyond reasonable, £15 for a bespoke, handmade owl hat with ear flaps and cords is just incredible value and you will not find these designs on the highstreet at this price!
Emma lovingly creates all her one off pieces from her Lincolnshire home, and can work with any colour or design to create something totally unique to you. I guarantee that you can throw {pretty much} anything her way and she will create something you love!
I am obsessed with my pink and grey owl hat and swiftly commissioned mother and baby matching owl hats for my sister-in-law and niece and they are adorable!
*disclaimer on the terrible quality mobile phone photos!
This matching mother and baby set, as pictured above, is the epitome of cute! I love it so much. You can of course have the same design, or alternate colours – whatever you want! If you buy a mother and baby set together, you benefit from a discount to just £22!
These hats make the most superb gifts and the recipient will be blown away by the attention to detail – especially if you choose colours you know they will love! Of course, feel free to treat yourself – I did and I love it!
The hats can be made to any size from newborn right through to adult so why not buy hats for the whole family?! The dog design below has to be a favourite, at only £10 for 0-12 months ranging to £15 for 10years to adults, they really are amazing value for money!
Looking for something a bit more basic but still cute? Why not opt for a panda design; again change the colours to suit, the price of a panda hat is just £8 for 0-12months, £10 for 1-10 years and £12 for 10years to adult.
If you’re not a fan of any particular colour, why not try something very simple with the design but still effective? I love this grey owl hat, only £15 for an adult size – perfect!
For those who want to be a little bolder with their owl; £15 for 10years to adult, £12 for 1-10years and £10 for 0-12months.
Another serious favourite of mine, so chunky and vibrant. A great eye catching design ranging from £8 for 0-12months, £10 for 1-10years and £12 for an adult.
For the photographers out there looking to expand your collection of newborn and child photography props and accessories, why not commission some bespoke hats for your clients? Guarantee that noone else will have the same photos as you by working on some truly unique designs. Emma can work with your ideas and suggestions to create something beautiful and bespoke to your business. Stand out from the crowd!
Plain beanies with ribbons or buttons start from £7 for 0-12months, £9 for 1-10years and £11 for 10years to adult.
Emma’s luxury blankets are really gorgeous; so chunky and cosy, the standard size for these is 3.5ft sq, but other sizes are available on request and they are priced at just £30. She has made me a humongous blanket to use as a newborn photography backdrop with the gorgeous matching hat you see below and I cannot wait to use it. For the photographers looking for something a little different and unique, choose your colours and get creative with matching blanket and hat sets and benefit from a discount to £35 for the set!
These blankets of course make beautiful gifts for a newborn baby and are perfect for prams and snuggles. Go for traditional pink and blue, or opt for something more adventurous and unique.
