Delighting in perfect, tiny details, Marian particularly enjoys working with fine fabrics, hence the christening gown range and special occasion dresses.

Poppet's organic baby cotton sleepwear is made from 100% natural fibre it is grown without the use of any chemicals or pesticides and is procesed here in New Zealand to international standards. Cotton being a natural fibre it will absorb body moisture & allows the baby's body to breathe which keeps the body cool in the summer, dry & warm in winter.

Merino sheep's wool, of which there are several different varieties. The softest wool is from super fine merino – and super fine wool is used by Poppet Baby Wear to create this exquisite range of designer babywear & clothing.
