When it comes to those all important accessories like blankets and bibs, the choices often boil down to one essential question: Do you want pink bunnies or blue? The cloying pastels and motifs offend your good taste, not to mention the innate stylishness you know your little bundle was born with. Would some rich colors and cool materials, like – just thinking out loud here – faux fur or snakeskin be too much to ask?
Not if you shop at Dapper Dumpling, a company that makes gorgeous, furry blankets and bibs in earthy shades and patterns such as paisley and, yes, snakeskin. It’s the kind of stuff that doesn’t scream, “This is for the baby!” And yet, given the irresistible softness and machine-washability, it was clearly created with tots in mind.
Now if only clothing manufacturers (and your mother-in-law) would get the subtle distinction. Actual animals: lame. Animal inspired details: So chic.
