Whilst some plastic bags can be recycled, the number one way to reduce the impact of single-use plastic on the environment and our beautiful Earth is to use reusable alternatives. Designer Bums Wet Bags are the perfect alternative in any situation where you would otherwise use a plastic bag and are an easy switch to make with a big impact on the environment. With large companies making the decision to phase out the use of purchasable plastic shopping bags now is the time to stock up on a reusable alternative.
Many families want to reduce their reliance on single use products but are unsure where to start. The good news is that this is not an all or nothing approach, and there are many small changes that you can make that will have an immediate impact on how many single use items are going into landfill. You might find that you need to make a larger initial financial outlay when purchasing reusable products, but this pays off in the long run as these products can be re-used and upcycled reducing the need to make any ongoing purchases.

For Gigi Villaverde, a career in graphic design and illustration started with a need for self-expression. As a child, she loved painting and drawing the things around her. As she got older, that love grew into wanting to create pieces of design that would be beautiful and functional for other people as well as herself. She decided to study graphic design, but her love for patterns came after signing up for a course in stamping technique. Her curiosity for how an illustration could be repeated indefinitely and applied to any surface, made her realise that making people happy by embellishing everyday items with illustration was her true calling.
For some, the decision and subsequent transition to using cloth nappies on your children was a fairly easy road once you discovered the style that suited you and got some good quality information about washing them. However, being faced with the need to utilise cloth nappies away from home may be significantly more daunting. At Designer Bums, we know how much you like showing off those cute cloth nappies, so we have some advice on how to share the cloth love when you are out of your comfort zone. You will be pleased to know that just like the fact that you aren’t the only family using cloth nappies, you also aren’t the only ones who have contemplated travelling with cloth.
The story of Designer Bums started with a chance meeting.

Introducing the talented and gorgeous Artist Grace Vuetaki We are very excited to have her as an ongoing contributor to the Designer Bums team!
From the tropical aesthetics that come from the islands, to the men and women of Fiji with flowers and ferns behind their ears, it’s clear to see why Grace says she’s naturally drawn to colours and patterns - it’s in her blood.
Waste. At Designer Bums Modern Cloth nappies, we have your back while you work out whether waste is an unavoidable part of modern life, or completely avoidable by changing our mindset and actions. You can definitely live at either end of this continuum, or start a journey changing one element at a time until you find a balance that works for your family.
At Designer Bums, we think that the most important detail when using modern cloth nappies (MCN) is to get the right fit. This will ensure that your nappy gives you good performance, your inserts will do their job effectively and the nappy is comfortable for your child. Cloth nappies have a reputation for being very bulky but compared with other brands, Designer Bums ART POP All in 2 nappies are very trim and sit just like regular underwear.
I had to add this print to my collection, building my stash for winter, love the space and moon prints and the quality is like no other.
Dbs for life 💖
The quality of these blankets is evident just by touch. They’re the most luxurious blankets. Beautiful weight, excellent as an added layer in winter, a light summer blanket and my favourite, a snuggly couch companion.
I have 4 single blankets, one large and 2 basinet blankets in my house and my kids and I love them. My littlest takes one to childcare for her naps and all the educators ask where it’s from!
You will not regret your purchase.
So many pockets! Attaches on the buggy with ease, super pretty and convenient for everything we need when out with our baby! Highly recommend and great quality!
I purchased a few different prints for my daughter so one can be left in the car for those baby nappy change emergencies and the other in the nappy bag. I also kept one for myself as a toiletry wet bag. They are a great size and can be used for multiple purposes.

Great quality on first impressions.
Love the print, fits my 5.5kg girl perfectly. No more blowouts. Easy to clean but inserts do take a long time to dry so you have to make sure you have plenty of nappies.
