Founded in May 2011, Castlebaby is a unique label from Spain catering for the layette and special occasion wear market, they are a new sponser for me and I am delighted to give them some showspace here for their stunning traditional formal designs.

The garments are outstanding in quality, delicate and use traditional handmade sewing techniques. Items for the children range from a baby layette of soft knitted cotton to a full length elaborate christening or communion gown.

New in the range is the houndstooth print for fall 2013 while the sunshine brights will match summer baby outfits so well.
