What happens when you become a mum? Sleep goes out the window, as does privacy, an ability to finish a sentence and any serious ideas of romance. But that’s the negative side, and for many women I meet it’s actually a jolly good excuse to try something different. For somehow having children makes you look at life differently.
This was the case for Slovak born actress, and mother of three, Madla Zimová. Stuck in a cycle of nappy changing and feeding she said “and the urge came to something […] creative so I could escape from that circle for a moment.” Whilst surfing the internet one day she came across a shop that sold beautiful Fair Trade and organic fabrics and Cuna Vulnami was born.
Unsurprisingly, being an actress, the inspiration for the name Cuna Vulnami actually came from a theatre play that she used to act in. Madla describes the play as being “[…] about [a] children’s world, their fantasy and imagination, so it seem[ed ….] precisely [the] name for our brand.” Cuna Vulnami provides imaginative childrenswear for boys and girls aged 2-10 years.
All the designs are handmade, which is something, as a poor seamstress myself, I have the utmost respect for. They also have lovely details. The skirt Daisy is wearing is lined with 100% organic cotton and has a gorgeous rope belt detail. It also has two real pockets with a cute button detail. I really like simple graphic print as you could easily style it with both a plain and striped T (the stripe T being a wardrobe essential no matter what your age or sex). For this shoot, I’ve styled it with a slub cotton/silk mix relaxed T Shirt with a pleated V at the front, also from Cuna Vulnami. The fabric is very cool which is great for the lovely weather we’ve been having. Clearly Madla has picked the loveliest of fabrics, but they are still all, essentially, machine washable.
