Eco-conscious designer Amy Powney on why hand-me-downs and borrowed pieces make the best baby clothes.
’s Amy Powney has found herself at home over the last few weeks, waiting out the after-effects of the coronavirus pandemic. While time spent indoors with a little one is inherently joyful, an unprecedented crisis presents new challenges. As a designer, Powney has always. Since the birth of her eight-week-old daughter Niamh, those concerns have been amplified. The childrenswear market is brimming with cute, teensy items that most infants will grow out of in a matter of weeks.
As such, Niamh’s wardrobe, which Powney regularly shares on Instagram in adorable updates, is composed of hand-me-downs and borrowed items. “gave me boxes of things from her baby girl, including a crib. The plan is to have the same bundle back on and we can circulate until they are worn out,” says Powney of her model friend. “I’ve also been looking into renting to try and avoid buying too much as I know she will grow out of everything so quickly.
