Di Lusso Living: Natural, Luxe and Whimsical
This season, I’m thrilled to introduce you to Melbourne-based children’s lifestyle brand, Di Lusso Living. With a strong focus on natural materials (like lambswool, merino and cotton) and adorable colours and prints, Di Lusso produces a large range of premium quality products for babies and toddlers.
A browse through the brand's glorious catalogue reveals the diversity of their collection, while also highlighting some common threads. Every Di Lusso blanket, piece of clothing, swaddle, accessory or toy has been inspired by everyday life, yet they all have a sense of luxury and joyfulness which makes them irresistible.
Patterns and prints are rich, tasteful and often whimsical - no primary colours and tacky cartoon characters here! We love the Australian animal prints, the earthy tones of the blankets and woollen babywear, and the little works of art which are their vibrant, lightweight swaddles. From knitted treasures which rival Nanna’s finest handmade creations to ingenious hooded travel blankets for toddlers; everything Di Lusso Living makes is destined to spark joy!
So who is the team behind this special Australian brand?
Meet founder Karen Di Lusso. A lifelong travel lover, she was inspired by overseas textile trends (as well as her own experience as a Mum) in creating Di Lusso Living. Karen and lead designer Sahil have drawn on their own lives as parents to create a range of practical baby products which are as durable as they are delightful. Premium quality materials, flawless construction and a bucket-load of homemade charm makes this range ideal if you’re sourcing ‘gift-worthy’ options for your store.
Think hard wearing padded playmats in gorgeous prints and bold colours, designed to hide life’s little accidents. Or thick-but-breathable knitted blankets which allow you to easily add layers of warmth to your sleeping bub. That’s even before we get to their knitted baby clothing line. Crafted from the finest merino and lambswool, the collection features adorable knit rompers, hats, booties and cardigans in natural hues from bright mustard to a soft Eucalyptus green.
Practical, luxe AND adorable - what’s not to love?
As a brand which prides itself on transparency, Di Lusso only works with small, family-operated suppliers, visiting them often. While the pandemic has made this more challenging of late, this has remained a priority for the Di Lusso team. As llead designer Sahil notes,
“By working closely together with them, we share a strong bond and they understand how significant ethical working and sourcing is for us.”
Di Lusso Living’s range is available to browse and order from February 2022. Get in touch to discuss today!
