Cute-ture staff spent the weekend working at the Los Angeles Fashion and Gift Market at the California Mart in downtown LA. The venue is normally the home of showrooms but they opened their doors to a handful of selected companies to show our ranges over 4-days.

One of the delights of these shows is meeting other wonderful entrepreneurs who run companies based on the same green and conscious principles that we live by. They inspire me and their wisdom and advice helps us continue to move forward as quickly as we have been.

Two such ladies – Deena Ramadan from an Australian company called Ramalama (pronounced rum-a-lum-a) and Ali Hui from Babu / Jubi based in New Zealand were also showing at the Cal Mart and have the most delightful ranges.

Ali is the most stylish woman and started her company in 2002. A mother and businesswoman, she is a wealth of knowledge on child safety and keeping dangerous chemicals from her product range.

Her baby bed wear and bathroom range is extensive and impressive. Based on neutral colors with a European influence, her sheets are made from 100% cotton using water based bleaching process! This makes them thicker and softer than the average t-shirt style sheets. Her range includes sheet sets, sheet separates, blankets, sleepwear, wraps, clothing, towels and face cloths.

Ramalama is a beautiful company that features sensible but sexy maternity lingerie and the most amazing diaper bags (I know as I bought one and am proudly using it as my handbag right now). All those pockets make it so much easier to find things in my big bag!

They also have a neutral baby range that modern minded parents will love. Available in Giggles and other stores, I highly recommend her bags!
