Choosing a gift for a new baby can feel like a guessing game — this set removes the guesswork. Three pieces come together in one box: a pom-pom hat, mittens, and booties, all keeping a newborn's most exposed spots (head, hands, feet) properly warm through their first winter.
Every piece is hand-knitted by women artisans in Bulgaria from merino wool certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100, banded in a geometric border rooted in Balkan folk knitting — a pattern once stitched by mothers and grandmothers into clothes made with care for their own children, now reimagined for the smallest members of the family. The mittens are simple, thumbless mitts (no separate thumb, as suits a newborn's tiny hands), joined by a connecting string so they're never left behind one at a time. The hat's built-in stretch means it isn't outgrown within weeks, holding its fit comfortably across a baby's whole first year, and the booties use Shooshon's Evergrow System with an adjustable drawstring that expands as tiny feet grow.
It's suited to the moments that call for something with more weight behind it than a standard baby gift: a birth, a christening, a first Christmas — occasions people want photographed, kept, and eventually handed down rather than outgrown and forgotten.
Arrives presented in a keepsake box, ready to give without any extra wrapping needed.
Care: delicate or wool-cycle machine wash, cold water (max 30°C). Use a mesh laundry bag. Reshape and dry flat.
