Summers here - leather bib needed!

2009-06-29T10:31:00.007+01:00

The warm weather seems to come and go with annoying unpredictability, but I would say that summer is definitely here! For many of us summer will be a chance to get away and recharge the batteries, but prior to that is the bit we all hate - packing! Many people make lists - loud shirt, trashy novel, suntan lotion, MP3 player, tummy tablets etc..., but for many mums we talk to it can also include dozens of bibs! So why take loads of bibs on holiday when you can just take the one? Why not take a gorgeous and highly practical leather bib with you and save yourself the time, money, hassle and space in the suitcase.

Here are a few summery designs that you might like to have a look at -

Why not buy this lovely leather bib with gorgeous summer flowers - http://shop.sarahjane.uk.com/daisies---pink-34-p.asp

Let our gregarious grasshopper spring into action to keep your baby clean and dry - http://shop.sarahjane.uk.com/grasshopper-24-p.asp

Big Brother in Leather Bib Heist!

2009-06-05T11:57:00.003+01:00

As Big Brother hits our screens for the 10th series the producers have finally realised what rubbish this program is and will be dropping it after this series (or so I've been told!) What started out as a social experiment is now a competition to find the most mentally unstable or morally bankrupt set of misfits available in the UK! (Can you tell I'm not a fan!)...

Anyway at Sarah Jane (UK) we've had our own problems with Big Brother - well to be exact big brothers wanting to get their hands on their little brothers leather bib! That's why we do a toddler size bib so their is no need for jealousy or fighting! It's been great to solve a family dispute - check out the toddler bib on the Mod Dots page shop.sarahjane.uk.com/

The blue Mod Dots Bib - available in baby & toddler size! (Also available in pink & citrus colours!)

Britains Got Talent - Leather bibs included!

2009-06-01T14:15:00.005+01:00

Finally, after months of blood, sweat, tears and auditions we have found a winner to perform in front of the Queen. Well done to Diversity, not only for being very talented, but for all the hard work that they had put in. Amazingly, the Final was the most watched non-sport TV program in the last 5 years, with an estimated 19 million people tuning in!

It feels like a bit of a Talent show when we take the bibs to the Baby Show - which one's will be popular and which one's go home with us! Well, the winner of this talent show is most definitely the monkey bib! http://shop.sarahjane.uk.com/monkey-8-p.asp

However, it is always great to hear back from customers and we received these very kind words from Mrs. E, from Colchester, Essex.

"Thank you so much for a superb delivery speed and service. The bibs were beautifully packed and it was almost a shame to open them. We met you at the excel baby show and had bought 2 bibs from you then, but our 3 - 4 year old kept stealing them for her dinner! hence the order of the toddler bib plus a spare one for our youngest. The bibs are brilliant, worth the extra cost as they always look like new and we have one stored in the changing bag and one at home so they are in constant use. Many thanks again. I am sure we will be ordering more soon as we have decided they make perfect presents for new babies."

Mrs. E bought 2 lovely bibs the fire engine and the 'Toddler' size Mod Dots Citrus (toddler size bibs are a third bigger than baby bibs.)

Leather Bibs mum's favourite!

2009-05-21T09:31:00.008+01:00

We have just had a great time at The Baby Show in Birmingham. It's always a pleasure to meet so many new people and to see how excited people get about the bibs! What's better than that is when they come back and tell you how thrilled they are with a bib they have had for some time...

Here is a comment from a mum that is totally unsolicited and came out of the blue along with the lovely picture of her son Jake (well done to Jake's grandpa, who took the photo!)

"Jake's rocket bib is still going strong - it gets used at every meal and he's now nearly 17 months' old. Thank you very much - we think it's a wonderful product and recommend it every time anybody comments on how ingenious it is."

Check out the gorgeous rocket bib at http://shop.sarahjane.uk.com/rocket-4-p.asp

Leather Bibs first visit to Scotland

2009-04-20T10:45:00.004+01:00

Later this week we will be unveiling our gorgeous leather bibs in Scotland. We will be in Glasgow for The Scottish Baby Show - http://www.thebabyshowscotland.com.

If you live in Scotland please come and see us on stand 407F.

This is the first time we have taken the bibs north of the border so we are very excited to see if they get the usual reception. We will also have some of the gorgeous leather shoes from Daisy Roots - http://www.daisy-roots.com.

Our leather bibs are still one of the very few unique products and there are over 30 designs to choose from - so if you can make up your mind which one to buy you will not be disappointed!

There is a special discount at the show so come and talk to us and we will tell you all about it.

I'm told that Scotland is home to some of the best Golf Courses in the world; so we are expecting quite a few 'golf widows' to be at the show. Check out our golf bib, which might come in handy for your special baby and his dad!

Sarah Jane goes to the Oscars

2009-02-23T14:34:00.010Z

"And the Oscar goes to..."

How many actors, writers, directors, producers, technicians and other assorted film hangers on waited with baited breath, last night, to see if they would pick up one of the coveted 34cm, gold plated statuettes!

Well, I thought we would have our own 'Oscars' - for the bibs... so here goes

Best bib nearly in a film - TIGER!

http://shop.sarahjane.uk.com/tiger-12-p.asp

I'm sure our tiger was just out of camera shot in Slumdog Millionaire!

Best supporting actor - CATERPILLAR!
http://shop.sarahjane.uk.com/caterpillar-23-p.asp

Best Actress - BUTTERFLY! (actually the Caterpillar played both parts!)

http://shop.sarahjane.uk.com/butterfly-20-p.asp

Best Actor - MONKEY... for his excellent follow up to 'Gorillas in the Mist' - Monkey in the Kitchen!
http://shop.sarahjane.uk.com/monkey-8-p.asp

Anyway, you may have your own thoughts on which of our bibs deserve an Oscar! If you make us laugh we might even send you a bib - give it a go!

Leather baby Bibs - No words needed!

2008-11-20T15:14:00.006Z

Selling leather bibs takes a lot of thought and time... You need to think carefully about the right messages and images but sometimes there are images that need no words or explanation!

However, I couldn't help thinking that this would be a good image to convey how useful a leather bib is compared to some other methods people think of... Or, you might re-think asking a small child to 'put the kettle on...'

I also thought that this would be a good image to convey how painful it is to keep washing, drying and replacing other types of bibs but that would be making light of this poor young person's pain!

Finally, it was leather bibs or rubber socks / gloves. After extensive field trials (well, this one child was all it took) we went with the leather bibs!

Leather bibs a big hit in Manchester!

2008-11-20T14:42:00.002Z

Last weekend we exhibited at The Baby Show - Manchester & it was a huge success! This is the first time that the Baby Show has come to the North West and we did wonder how successful it would be - but it was brilliant! The turn out from people from all over the North of England was fantastic and you loved the bibs.

It still surprises us how many people have never seen or heard of a leather bib despite our efforts this year. It is always a pleasure to talk through the unique benefits and then sell a bib, or usually two. In fact more people bought two bibs than the people who just bought one.

As usual our best selling bib was our Cheeky Monkey - http://shop.sarahjane.uk.com/monkey-8-p.asp

Please take advantage of our Christmas 'special offer' of FREE P&P!

Sarah Jane at The Baby Show Manchester

2008-11-13T09:32:00.003Z

Yes, we are taking the short trip down the M56 to sunny Manchester (well, I can but hope) to be part of the very first Baby Show - Manchester http://www.thebabyshow.co.uk/manchester-central/. We had a brilliant time at Earls Court last month and we were just thinking "we must do Manchester" when a very kind guy from another stand offered us his place, as he couldn't go! (Thanks Adrian)...

So if you live anywhere near Manchester and fancy meeting up with us we will be at the GMEX for the next 3 days and we would love to see you - stand B10! There will a cracking discount that is available for the show ONLY!

If you can't get to Manchester why not have a look on our web site http://www.sarahjane.uk.co/. If you can't be bothered doing either then put your feet up and have a relaxed weekend - you probably deserve it!

Leather Bibs really are a great Christmas Present!

2008-11-04T11:20:00.005Z

What do you buy for the people who have everything! To be very frank - most of us don't 'need' anything - we are all knee deep in 'stuff' and if we do need something we usually just go out and get it! Nigella (I'm worth a cool £110 million) Lawson made her children give all their Christmas presents away, bar one, to teach them the true value of Christmas - actually it's not as cruel or crazy as it sounds - check out the article http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/celebritynews/3284939/Nigella-Lawson-made-children-give-away-Christmas-presents.html

So - what do you buy for the people who have everything - well if they have a baby under 2 - 3 years why not buy them one of our gorgeous leather bibs! www.sarahjane.uk.com

A leather bib is definately NOT in the catagory of more 'stuff' - they not only look fantastic but they definately save you time, money and effort. What a great gift! Not only do family or friends get something that appears great but will actually help them in lots of practical ways and make a tiny dent in the growing climate change problems.

So - which bib to buy! Well, you decide - have a look on our web site http://www.sarahjane.uk.com/ and see if you can pick a favourite.

My favourite, if your interested, is the Monkey bib http://shop.sarahjane.uk.com/monkey-8-p.asp

Sarah Jane at The Baby Show

2008-10-28T16:49:00.009Z

Yes, as previously mentioned we ventured south and exhibited at the massive and brilliant The Baby Show - Earls Court. Nearly 20,000 people visited our stand - well - they were there but it might be a slight exageration that they all came to our stand (but it felt like it at times!) Blimey, it was so busy, but fantastic, to get so many people telling us that they love the bibs and buying them! What was crazy was that so many people could not make up their minds and bought 2 - Fantastic!

Anyway here is the run down on the top 10 sellers at the show - no surprises here

No. 1 (yet again) The Cheeky Monkey bib http://shop.sarahjane.uk.com/monkey-8-p.asp

Practical Parenting loves LEATHER BIBS

2008-10-27T14:57:00.007Z

The UK's top parenting magazine (Practical Parenting) recently featured the very stylish and funky Caterpillar bib in their feature article about bibs! Even though I'm completely biased I was not in the least surprised to see us in the top slot!
http://shop.sarahjane.uk.com/caterpillar-23-p.asp
The Caterpillar bib also went down very well at our recent appearance at the UK's biggest Baby Show - imaginatively named 'The Baby Show'. In fact we had such a great response with the bibs we are also exhibiting at The Baby Show - Manchester! It's on from 14th - 16th November and is the first time that the Baby Show has been there! So come & have a great day out in sunny Manchester!

The funny thing about shows is that you never know what is going to be popular and what's not (the British public eh!) - for instance the first day in London we completely sold out of the Salamander bib http://shop.sarahjane.uk.com/salamander-15-p.asp and the following 2 days we only sold a few.

On the first day we didn't sell a single apple bib but on the following days sold loads!http://shop.sarahjane.uk.com/apple-25-p.asp

Anyway, it just goes to show... we all have our favourite bib so why not have a look at the full range and see which is your favourite

Myleene Klass "loves" leather bibs!

2008-10-07T09:14:00.005+01:00

How exciting - we were in Liverpool yesterday to meet up with Myleene Klass! She was launching her new 'Baby K' range of clothes and accessories at Mothercare and we popped along to say hi and talk about bibs with her.

Firstly, she is so lovely and beautiful - wow! Secondly, she loves the leather bibs! Myleene has been using one of our bibs with her baby daughter Ava and said

"I'm using it - I've tested it and I love it!"

Myleene has a butterfly and cupcake bib. Check out and buy the beautiful Butterfly bib at http://shop.sarahjane.uk.com/bugs-9-c.asp

or the delicious Cupcake bib at http://shop.sarahjane.uk.com/fresh-10-c.asp

Have a look at some more images of Sarah with Myleene on our Facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sarah-Jane-UK-Ltd/20778512590 and why not sign up as one of our friends!

Butterfly bib a big hit in Belfast!

2008-09-23T09:25:00.002+01:00

As I staggered out of bed at 4.15am on Saturday morning (yes, Saturday!!!) and headed off for 'Big in to Baby' in Belfast I kept wondering "will they like the bibs?" and the answer was a resounding YES! The top selling bib, yet again, was our gorgeous Butterfly bib - http://shop.sarahjane.uk.com/butterfly-20-p.asp but it only narrowly beat the funky boys Fire Engine bib into 2nd place http://shop.sarahjane.uk.com/fire-engine-5-p.asp

We could never have actually made it to Belfast for the weekend without the help from our new friends at Morrck - who were absolutely brilliant! They sell a gorgeous range of products - check out 'The Morrck Baby Hoodie', 'The Morrck Wrapture' & 'The Morrck Blanket' http://www.morrck.com/

If you missed us in Belfast but would love to meet us why not come to The Baby Show in Earls Court, London on 17 - 19 October 2008.

Sarah Jane at Big into Baby - Belfast

2008-09-15T10:22:00.003+01:00

If you want to catch a glimpse of our wonderful LEATHER bibs and you live in Ireland why not pop along to see us at Big into Baby next weekend!

Next Saturday we are getting up ridiculously early to catch the 7am flight to Belfast (don't ask it seemed a good idea at the time) and then meeting up with our new friends from Morrck who are helping us transport the bibs (THANKS!) -check them out they have some great products - http://www.morrck.com/. They are catching the overnight ferry from sunny Birkenhead so spare them a thought if the weather is bad! Actually, I've just remembered why we are flying - someone doesn't like sailing!!!

Anyway if you are in Ireland we would LOVE to meet you. You can check out the details for Big Into Baby at http://www.bigintobaby.co.uk/ or follow the link from our site http://www.sarahjane.uk.com/ or just give us a call on 0151 348 4252

691,013 Leather bibs!

2008-09-01T16:46:00.005+01:00

That's how many bibs we would need to supply if we gave every baby born in the UK, in 2007, a beautiful LEATHER bib. With over 30 different designs to choose from we could save a serious amount of time & money for all those new mums and dads!

Maybe the credit crunch has hit the contraception market because the birth rate has not been this high since 1991... Are we all staying in more! Anyway, whatever the reason it's always a good time to check out our current collection of the most adorable bibs. With all that energy exerted having a bib that saves you time and effort might be a big help! Have a look at the full range at www.sarahjane.uk.com or call 0151 348 4252

Sarah Jane - beat the rain

2008-08-11T16:29:00.004+01:00

No wonder we Brits talk about the weather - where has the summer gone! It's never stopped raining for the last 2 weeks... Actually, I think I'm to blame because the weather was lovely for at least a couple of weeks before that and I (foolishly) said "let's have a BBQ!" That was it - constant rain from that day onwards...
Anyway, if you need cheering up with some retail therapy, or you experience a break in the weather and actually go to a BBQ, the answer is the same - BUY this summer’s gorgeous must-have accessory for that special baby! Our leather bibs are not only super-stylish, have over 30 wonderful designs and if you’re at a BBQ you can just wipe it clean and pop it in your change bag.

Check out the full range at www.sarahjane.uk.com

In the unlikely event you still care – I did have the BBQ – in the rain! I’ve learnt my lesson – I won’t mention it next summer.

Holiday help!

2008-07-22T09:05:00.002+01:00

I read somewhere that there had been a survey that revealed 80% of mums have to do ALL the holiday planning & packing before heading off for the family holiday less than relaxed! Did we really need a survey to learn that one!

Now the school holidays are here I'm sure every mum in the country is busy thinking up things to do or planning for the family holiday or just gazing into her crystal ball wondering what the heck the weather is going to do in the next few minutes!

Well, here at Sarah Jane we can take one packing headache away. Instead of packing dozens of bibs and wondering how you are going to get them washed and dried why not buy one of our wonderful leather bibs that just need a wipe or a rinse under the tap. Mums all over the UK are getting one of our 30+ designs to take away - why not choose one now and save yourself at least one less job!

Holiday Essentials

2008-06-06T14:09:00.000+01:00

Is it just us or does everyone pack way too much stuff when they go on Holiday? Anyway our beautiful leather bibs would be ideal to take on holiday - not only would you have the funkiest baby but you don't have to worry about packing loads of bibs (as just the one will do) AND no washing and drying! How cool is that.
Sarah Jane has introduced a beautiful leather bib into the UK - hand made in Canada. It's a wonderful gift for that special baby and available in over 30 designs just check out our web site www.sarahjane.uk.com.
Have fun on holiday, keep safe and don't over pack!
P.S. If you replace all your bibs with one from Sarah Jane you can fit in an extra pair of shoes!

Crocs - leave me alone!

2008-05-23T15:14:00.000+01:00

My wife wants me to have a pair of Crocs - she keeps telling me how amazing they are but I normally like to wait until something's out of fashion before I want it! It doesn't stop her trying to 'convert' me!

Crocs have spent years becoming an overnight success - suddenly out of no where they have all these great shoes. Not only do they have a great product(s) but they've worked very hard on getting the message out!

At Sarah Jane we are just getting started in getting the word out about the revolutionary product that will change the way we do bibs! Our friends at Mally Bibs Canada have spent years developing a highly innovative and functional leather bib that in Canada & USA is a designer bib with bags of style.

PLEASE don't make me have Crocs - unless they are at least a year out of fashion & please help us emulate Crocs success - check out our full range at shop.sarahjane.uk.com

Unbelievable!

2008-05-22T10:18:00.000+01:00

Bringing children into the world and looking after them can be pretty daunting! Money can be a major stress for any family and if the media are to be believed it's all pretty gloomy but at SARAH JANE we are totally optimistic about the future. Sure, we might be tightening our belts a little bit but let's not get carried away - life in the UK is pretty good and if we shop smart our kids can look fabulous while we save money!
However, it might be time to be prudent and investing in a truely gorgeous Leather Bib is a cracking way of saving money! How much money do you spend washing and drying bibs every day only to throw the stained ones away on a regular basis. Our bibs just wash under the tap and wipe dry AND they don't stain. They stay as good as new as long as your baby or toddler needs it! What a great way to give your child a designer bib and save money!
