Dating at the Baby Show

May 17, 2022

Despite having two kids, it was my first time at the Baby Show last week. I wanted to look around and ultimately get an idea about whether it would be worth me exhibiting there at some point (as it's pretty expensive). I also decided to target a few of the successful small businesses there where I might be able to speak to founders and get some advice! Networking isn't my forte, but I decided to approach it like dating and just have a brief chat with them with no expectation of a second date! All of the founders I spoke to were also mums so it felt like we already had something in common and all of them were so lovely and gave me loads of great advice. Here's a few of the amazing companies I spoke to:

Natal Active

Fed up of exercising in your husband's old t-shirt? Why not try this range of stylish, supportive and colourful activewear, with each piece designed to see you through pregnancy, breastfeeding and years beyond. I love how this brand partners with For the Creators to resell old activewear that customers send in.

Hot Tea Mama

Award winning teas to support women's wellness - they have a great range of teas for pregnancy and breastfeeding with names like 'Milk's up' and 'The final push'. These women really know their tea!

The Nappy Den

An online boutique shop offering reusable nappies, toys and much much more for the modern eco parent. I was really interested to speak to these lovely ladies to find out if they've seen an increase in interest in cloth nappies as people become more concerned about sustainability.

Latched

Confidence-boosting activewear for pregnancy, nursing and beyond. This range of activewear is all about empowering you to continue exercising throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Here's to a potential second date with some of these great companies!

Why Borro clothes?

Renting means less waste, more wardrobe flexibility and no more piles of outgrown clothes. It’s a smarter, more sustainable way to dress your little ones.

With Borro, you get high-quality kidswear without the commitment, just what you need, when you need it. Helping you save time, save money, and save the planet.

What about stains?

Don't panic! Let us worry about the stains. Stain insurance is included. Obviously it's best to prevent stains if you can, or treat them as soon as possible. But we will never charge you.

If the garment can't be saved, it will be upcycled or recycled. Nothing ever goes to landfill, and we'll never charge you.

Subscription & exchanges

Subscription

All the clothes are individually priced and there's no minimum amount or set subscription - we're flexible!

Rent as many/few things as you like and you'll see at checkout what your monthly subscription will be. (If you want us to pick out a coordinated bundle of 10 items for you, it's £29/month).

Exchanges

We know little ones grow as fast as the weather changes! You don't need to return your previous order to order new clothes, so simply send back items whenever you no longer have a need for them, and add any new items to your subscription, by adding them to your basket and checking out.

Delivery & returns

Delivery

Your order will be packed and dispatched the next working day. Delivery takes 2-3 working days.

Returns

Pop them inside the bag/box they came in, attach the free pre-paid returns label, then drop off at your nearest Evri ParcelShop.

We only include one pre-paid returns label per order, so if you choose to send just some of an order back and the rest later, you will need to pay for the postage of the second return.

Once we've received your items we will amend your subscription so you only pay for what you've got.

We recommend returning items 4-5 days before your subscription renews in order to allow enough time for delivery and processing to avoid your next monthly payment going out. If you're a few days late, you can always cancel online (use the link in the order confirmation email). As long as we receive the clothes within the next few days, that's fine.

Sustainability

At Borro we maximise the use of each item of clothing by providing a service that ensures it's well maintained, repaired and enjoyed by as many families as possible.

So if a garment is used by 6 different users, the global warming potential is 49% less, with a CO2e (kg) per user of 1.18, instead of 2.29.
