Hi Elizabeth
I have three favourite products which I’ve bought from LaToriana!
1. Baa Baa Sheep & Sophie sheep by Citta.
Baa Baa sheep is my daughters favourite toy, she used ‘lamby’ to get to sleep every night & he is now getting grey and worn (lucky we have 3 of them!)
2. Cheecky Little Soles Flower Patch shoes! Eva has lived in these shoes since before 6 months, she is now almost 1 and they only just fit - everyone comments on how gorgeous she looks in her lovely shoes! they fit perfectly and never fall off.
3. Eva’s Tea Princess white tutu leggings
These are just the cutest little pants! I love the ruffle at the ankle - she certainly looks like a little princess in them!
Thanks for your great store we love it!

We bought a few pairs of shoes from Cheeky Little Soles. I think their designs are just gorgeous and really funky. We’ve loved them so much that we’ve even bought some for friends overseas and they love them. A perfect gift for a newborn - something parents don’t really think to buy for themselves at first.
Hi Elizabeth,
I absolutely LOVE your Playschool Stacking Blocks by Jasnor.
I have never seen anything keep my 18-month-old “tornado” so quiet and occupied for so long. He builds them up and knocks them down; he puts cars in them and tips them out; he hides things underneath them and “peekaboo” he finds them again; he gives teddy a boat ride and “oops” tips teddy overboard; he stacks them all inside each other and takes them all out again…the list goes on and on!
And he’s just so delighted to turn them upside down and all around to find Big Ted and Little Ted over and over again. “There he is!”. “There he is!”
What a fabulous product!
Cheers,
Sarah :o)
I live in the country 750kms south of Perth WA. I have finally got a little girl who has turned 1 one week ago. Her name is Rebecca. I have two older boys 10 and 8 so all of us are just loving our little girl including dad. I love The tea Princess range and are finding it hard to choose anything out of the range. I have brought the frill pants and crotchet top for when she is a bit older because they are just gorgeous and such a beautiful little girl outfit. My children also agree how pretty there little sister will look in such a lovely outfit.
Your range is just lovely and such a variety. For people such as me that is so far away from the City shops I love what you have to offer.
Thanks Latoriana!
What a great competition! Good luck to all that enter, it’s a fabulous prize for all mums.
Hi Elizabeth,
Oh, if you have a little girl, then you are in candy heaven by shopping at La Toriana! Of course, there is lots for little boys too, they just don’t come in pink
We love Oobi for the hip, fresh and modern look. We love Eternal Creation for the gorgeous fabrics and pretty designs BUT our all time favourite for the last 2 years HAS to be Tea Princess!
Gosh, the Tea Princess range is just devine to say the least. The look is very vintage romantic and we just can’t help coming back for more season after season. The crochet, the lace, the vintage charm, oh how I wish it all came in MY size!
Don’t be surprised if you are walking down the street with your little Tea Princess and a little boy stops and asks her out for a “babycino”…shhhhhh….don’t tell dad!
Thanks again for providing us busy mums with the most wonderful shopping experience.

Hi Elizabeth,
I LOVE the Vanchi carry all nappy bag. Mine is in choc tudor, and it rocks because it doesn’t look like a nappy bag but it still has all the features I need: insulated bottle holder, clear ziploc bag for wipes etc, change mat, loads of pockets inside and so on. I always get compliments on it!
Thanks for stocking such a great product - it’s nice to know that becoming a mum doesn’t necessarily mean a style lobotomy!

We absolutely adore the “AnnieB” Play Place and are looking at getting one for the kids for Christmas. Stunning!
My absolute favourite label at La Toriana has to be Eternal Creation. This company is truly inspiring. Not only do they create beautiful pieces with gorgeous prints and fabulous little details, but they do everything in such an ethically aware way. Their factory, in the foothills of the Himalayas, provides employment for over 70 people with the most fantastic working conditions. Lots of space and light, excellent pay rates, paid maternity leave, and an on-site creche. It gives me great joy to know that my retail therapy is supporting other families
Hi,
I just found your gorgeous website on the nappy hunt! I absolutely LOVE the Eternal Creation dresses - they are so pretty and unique! Ingrid
Hi Elizabeth
I’ve never actually bought anything from La Toriana, but I do ‘window shop’ alot LOL I have 5 kids, so window shopping is usually as far as shopping goes with me!
Anyway…. I’ve had such a good look around this time (usually the link on AFW makes me have to come look LOL) with the nappy hunt going on (loved the mini hunt btw). And awww I have so many I wants!! LOL
#1 is the fantastic “ANNIEB” PLAY PALACE. How wonderful would they make fantasy Princess games! My daughter would go nuts!
#2 The gorgeous Parents bags. Wow! They are fabulous! After 14 years of carrying around nappy bags I can’t wait to buy myself a handbag again once I no longer need to carry mine around. But those are so Mummy you could forget they are a nappy bag!!
#3 is the Yummy Mummy apron. My hubby calls me a Yummy Mummy when I’m cooking him coconut slice (his fave), so it made me giggle when I seen it!
There are so many more I want to list. You have such a beautiful range of products…. I think if my little girl was alot littler I wouldn’t be able to help myself LOL
Please don’t be alarmed if you see two little boys traipsing along in the beauuuutiful Tea Princess creations… it will be because one day I just won’t be able to resist them….
I have just found your amazing site with the nappy hunt and my close second favourite would have to be the Anamalz toys (specially the elephant!) and thirdly, those awesome costumes for kids dressups!
Hi Elizabeth
After drooling over your range for a while I’ve recently made my first purchases and was more than satisfied with the service I received. I (like many others) love the Eternal Creations and Tea Princess range for producing such beautiful garments and continuing to allow little girls to look like the feminine little princesses they truly are. I also love the mod and very durable line in Finnigan Finn.
Thanks for stocking such beautiful garments at reasonable prices (Go Bendigo!!)

Hi Elizabeth,
My favourite item on La Toriana has always been the ‘Ava’ princess bracelet from Mon Tresor. It’s such a delicate, beautiful piece of jewellery and would be just perfect for my baby girl, Zoe. I could not believe it when I saw it was the prize you donated for the GDUNH. I guess I have as good a chance as anyone of winning it, but if not I hope I will be able to come and buy it from you when things are a bit brighter for us! Her 1st birthday is in February and I think it would make a perfect keepsake gift so maybe then.
Love your store. You have all round excellent taste! I actually first discovered you on http://www.kidstylefile.com. Congratulations on becoming so successful in your very first year.

Dear Elizabeth,
My FAVOURITE item of yours has to be the Nana Huchy Bears! I love them and so do my friends! Great size and so gentle: great to cuddle. They are one of a kind and everyone wants to know where I get them from!
Thanks Elizabeth,
Love Emma
Dear Elizabeth,
I love so many things in your online store. You stock great stylish products for babies and kids.
One thing that caught my eye was the BABUSHKA LAVENDER DOLLS by Oopsidaisi. I have not seen anything like them before but I know my daughter would love it! The recommendations from other buyers are something I find very helpful when buying online. Also just love the name of the designer. Something I say alot with an active toddler!
The Annie B puppet theatre is also gorgeous. I could go on & on!
Congratulations on your first birthday!
Rosie
Dear Elizabeth
I love the Baby moisturiser from Gaia Skin Naturals as it helps my little granddaughter with her very dry skin in this weather.I love your web site with all the lovely products.
My favourite latoriana product is the Lambykins organic range and in particular I like the 3 piece set. It looks soft, comfortable and uncomplicated. I think it is important not to burden babies with fussy clothing which not only looks ridiculous but is a nightmare to get on and off.
Hi Elizabeth,
Having just sent my third order I obviously ‘love’ La Toriana’. My favourite designer is Finnigan Finn. I love it because it is well made, simply designed and different . As a mother of 3 toddlers on a farm, I love to dress the children up when we go out (great to not smell like the cows). I now have some beautiful selections from La Toriana. Thanks again, Elizabeth. Keep up the beautiful packaging- I just love receiving my parcel and unwrapping it is as much fun as the items themselves.
Happy Birthday.
Vicki
