New Moccis designs

Hard to imagine during our mini heatwave, but the season of chilly tootsies is almost upon us. Here at BG, we don’t do cold feet, we do Moccis instead. We are huge fans of the ultra-toastie yet cool Swedish moccasins and so I was super-excited to spot that they have new designs in the shop. [...]

Hot shop: Big Blue Cuddle

You all know we at BG love a good shop. And a good shop that does good things? Hold us back. Say hello to Big Blue Cuddle. The concept is simple. Brands sell their excess stock to Big Blue Cuddle. Big Blue Cuddle sells it to you. You choose a children’s charity to receive a [...]

Woodchild blankets

Another discovery at MADE craft fair, was Woodchild – an exquisite collection of blankets, inspired by traditional nursery styles, designed in Brighton and knitted in Scotland.

Collégien slipper socks

We’re pretty loyal fans of Moccis (the super-cool Swedish-style moccasins) here at BG – both Natalie and I packed the adult star-spangled ones in our hospital bags – but recently our heads have been turned by Collégien’s slipper socks. Made in France since 1947, the ergonomically designed, patented footwear oozes Gallic chic, is suitable from [...]

Muji’s Linen Ballet Slippers

I admit. I was meant to be looking at Father’s Day gifts and had a swoon session when I spotted these fab-u-lous linen ballet slippers at quietly stylish Muji. Nice and light for summer, they’re only available in ‘ecru’ grey for a wallet friendly £10.95. Oh and if you’re due to have a baby, they’d [...]

New maternity shop on the block Cecily Plum know the importance of a good pair of slippers and have sourced the most luxurious [...]
