Hello!
 
So much is happening here at Far Fetched since our last newsletter..
If you missed it, we celebrated our first birthday in June, and we marked the occasion with one of our trademark shopping nights with bubbles, nibbles and prizes - and we also repainted the front of the shop a very festive (and bright!) yellow!  We love it!  
Thanks to everyone who came along and helped us celebrate.


We'll be announcing an exciting competition for August and the Handmaker's Factory are working on a surprise too, to be announced very soon... but more on that in our next newsletter :)

For now, we felt it was about time we introduced you to one of our newest makers - Mami and Babi!  

We love that this is a family team (mother, daughter and all important Grand-daughter!).  Everything they make is amazing, and one of a kind, check out their story below...

FAR FETCHED DESIGNS MAKER PROFILE


Mami & Babi is a 3 generation family business -
Alena – Creator, Designer (right)
Monika – Marketing, Customer Service (left)
Bianka – Ambassador, Chief Wellbeing Officer (centre)



Mami & Babi is run by a mother, daughter, granddaughter trio based in Melbourne, Australia. They strive to create beautiful & modern handmade knit and crochet creations with a focus on natural, breathable, quality yarn & modern style. 

Their range consists of pieces for babies, kids, adults & the home; including toys, baby blankets, knitwear (beanies & scarves), and home décor items (pillows and crochet plants).

"We are Australian, but our heritage is from the bohemian part of the Czech Republic.
In the Czech language mum is called "Mami" (pronounced Maa-mi) & grandma is shortened to "Babi" (pronounced Baa-bi). To give respect to our heritage & honour who we are & what we create, Mami & Babi was born."




Alena has always loved to knit and crochet and has over 40 years of experience. With all the positive comments and praise her baby grandchildren were receiving when wearing their handmade knit or crochet pieces, the mother/daughter team decided to start making her craft available to everyone – and so Mami & Babi was born in 2017.

"Knitting and crocheting is my form of meditation and helps me relax. There is nothing better than the joy of someone’s face when they receive a handmade knit or crochet creation and the positive feedback from happy customers. It’s so rewarding."



The Mami & Babi range is handcrafted locally in Melbourne and their pieces are constantly being refreshed in store at Far Fetched Designs - but if you see something you like - be quick! Their beautiful and unique pieces don't hang around in store for long!
