Just in time for winter and for the very first time the latest May Gibbs x Walnut Melbourne winter range for babies and toddlers has launched in Myer stores across Australia and online at www.myer.com.au.
Also available via www.walnutmelbourne.com and wwwhttp://www.myer.com.au.maygibbs.org/shop along with independent stockists nationally, the brand new and extensive winter range featuring 23 delightful pieces will keep babies and toddlers snuggly throughout the chilly months ahead.
The beautiful new designs showcase May Gibbs’ iconic characters and illustrations across a wide range of styles. The five prints – Morning Wren, Storytime, Whisper, Joey, Koala Cuddles – feature across blankets, onesies, bodysuits,
tees, leggings, dresses, jumpers and more.
Also included in the range are four gorgeous gift packs at $69.95 each – Joey Grey Winter Gift Pack, Morning Wren Winter Gift Pack, Storytime Winter Gift Pack and Whisper Winter Gift Pack – a lovely gift for new and expecting parents. Each beautifully packaged Gift Pack contains one winter onesie and one Brooklyn Bib in an exclusive May Gibbs print.
Born in 1877 in Kent, United Kingdom, May Gibbs arrived in Australia at the age of four. She drew and painted as a child and went on to study art in Western Australia and in the UK before settling in Sydney as a children’s books author and illustrator.
2016 marked 100 years of May Gibbs’ first children’s cook Gumnut Babies and 2018 celebrated the Tales of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie centenary.
On her passing in 1969 she bequeathed 50% of the copyright of all her works to The Northcott Society and 50% to Cerebral Palsy Alliance. Through her foresight and generosity, proceeds from the sale of May Gibbs products have supported thousands of Australian children with disability and their families.
