Lambykins and La Toriana join forces for Premmie Babies
Organic Premmie Baby Clothing from Lambykins
Angela owner of Lambykins™ and Elizabeth owner of La Toriana® two country Mums, have been friends for over 20 years. Angela supported Elizabeth through three premature babies, two of whom became angels. Elizabeth vividly remembers the emotional rollercoaster ride and how it was traumatic enough without being able to find clothing made specifically for premmie bubs. She was told by a nurse to go to the toy store and purchase “cabbage patch” dolls clothes or have them specially made.
“It was the last thing I needed: my babies were vulnerable enough without seeing them in dolls clothes or oversized hospital-issued garments. I longed to have some nice clothes for my baby that actually fitted and were suitable for the NICU,” Elizabeth explains.
Angela from Lambykins and Elizabeth from La Toriana.
Lambykins™ was established in 2004 and is renowned for producing a luxurious range of Australian-made merino blankets and baby clothing. After seeing what Elizabeth went through Angela was inspired to produce not just a gorgeous Organic Premmie Collection but a collection with meaning.
Each garment depicts a unique hand-drawn design and comes with a special poem on its swing tag that offers support and understanding for the parents of precious premmie bubs.
The designs, style, quality and attention to detail portray the core of the Lambykins™ brand. The Organic Premmie Collection of pants, jackets, sleeveless tops, bodysuits, hats and wraps come in 3 attractive ecodyed colours of blue, pink and ecru. The garments are safe to use in the NICU and come in true premmie sizes from 800 grams to 7kg (up to 3 months).
Elizabeth, a volunteer and sponsor of local and national premmie baby groups, donates a % of sales from her Premmie baby category.
La Toriana is fast becoming renowned for quality, stylish and affordable designer collections as well as for providing exceptional customer service.
Just released is gorgeous organic cotton `Premmie Nature Range’for precious premmie babies and newborns. Sizes will range from 800 grams to 00 (7kg)
Contemporary prints beautifully handcrafted on pink, blue and ecru coloured outfits will ensure a special garment for your baby. Prints include leaf, giraffe, butterfly, flower, bird and tree designs.
I have never before seen such gorgeous quality of organic premmie baby wear and I love the designs… and am sure you will too.
Lambykins has researched well, and as such are able to provide quality premmie clothing. Years before, premmie baby clothing was unheard of and we all were told to buy or make dolls clothes. “How inappropriate”
now there is choice… and not only that there are affordable designer collections for new born babies and babies born prematurely.
Lambykins understand the need for specialised premmie baby clothing, and clothing that’s eco friendly to allow us to give our babies the best possible chance to their early start in life. This new collection is great for newborn bubs up to 6 months, but also for small neonatal babies in isolette and cribs and have adapted clothing to suit the needs of specialise equipment in hospital and beyond.
Each garment comes with a heartfelt poem that’s so fitting of the moment and for our so precious premature newborns. A perfect baby gift.
This collection helps La Toriana premature baby clothing section become one of the largest, stylish and most affordable collection of premmie baby clothing online!
I remember when my daughter was in the nicu my mum went to the markets to a lady who made doll clothes and got her some cute dolls dresses there was really a gap in the market then and now look at this amazing product.

These are gorgeous
It’s nice to see a bit of a range for premmie babies.
Congrats on making top 100 again!
These are so beautiful and it is so nice to see a range for premmie bubs. My friend had a prem and I remember how hard she found it to find nice baby clothing that actually fit. Well done!
The premmie baby clothing is just gorgeous!! Well done to you Angela and Elizabeth on this heartfelt venture.
I remember doing on a story years ago on a lovely lady, Holly, who spent all her time making tiny clothing for premature babies. There was just nothing around for these little babies.
The Lambykins designer range will be an emotional boost to parents at a very difficult time.
Lovely!
You have put together a stunning collection. Congratulations and thank you for being such amazing business women!
