I AM A MOTHER

I have two gorgeous little girls. After the blessing of my firstborn, I was ecstatic to kit out my own real life doll in the latest trends and the best brandnames. This was until I came to the sobering realisation that, unlike the dolls from my childhood, this one grows - and at an attire alarming pace...



OUR STORY


I KNOW...

Like so many other mothers, I wanted to show off the youngest addition to our family in the best brand names on the market, at grownup costs for a fraction of the material. All of this only to, shortly thereafter, realise that my little doll outgrew her bespoke outfits.

Luckily my husband and I were bless with another little girl, so we had the opportunity to enjoy another phased use of the first born’s closet. Now that my second daughter is also outgrowing her outfit ensemble, it got me thinking as to how many other mothers find themselves in this position where they bought bespoke baby and toddler wear, only to have the young ones outgrow it too quickly.

This was when my third child, this platform, was born - kaNiNi. The name springs from combining my daughters’ names, as they were the real inspiration behind creating the platform. Their childlike excitement with everything they encounter serve as an inspiration and driving force to bring mothers, like myself, a platform where bespoke children’s wear gets up-cycled.

At kaNiNi, we pride ourselves on attention to detail., to ensure that our products meet the highest standards.
