Maria, a mum-of-three, who previously worked in children’s television programming, says she had always been inspired to run her own shop selling only the most gorgeous and well-made products for children. In 2009, she opened the doors to Hop Like A Bunny boutique, set in the leafy enclave of London’s Holland Park.
Every piece in the shop has been carefully handpicked to ensure for its authenticity and high quality. For Maria, cuts are very important, so are designers who use only natural, sustainable and organic materials, and brands with an ecological approach.
From duckling-soft Bolivian Alpaca babywear to cool eco-friendly nursery furniture, Hop Like A Bunny carefully curates its collection for style-conscious parents and hunters of cool, meaningful gifts.
“Shopping for children is as much an emotive process as it is a practical one” comments Maria, who has clearly understood the consumer’s mentality of her neighbourhood.
