Added on 28 April 2011 in Sales & Promotions, Twinkle LilyWho wants something special for Mothers’ Day?
With Mothers’ Day just around the corner, we decided to do avery special giveaway just for mums. So we conspired with Katerina from TwinkleLily and she has come up with something very special, just for us.
Katerina has pulled out the stops and created a fabulous setof cloth pads and a matching wetbag. There are 5 pads altogether, one in eachsize ranging from a Smallsie to a Postpartum pad with a gorgeous outer of lycradenim embroidered with blue cherry blossoms. Utterly luscious, wouldn’t youagree? And perfect for Mothers' Day.
We know you love to find out about the businesses behind theproducts we sell (you can find Twinkle Lily products here), so here’s a little bit about Twinkle Lily, straight fromKaterina herself.
Howand when did Twinkle Lily start?
Facedwith cloth nappies that leaked for my heavy wetting second child, and lots ofencouragement from family, I soon began to work on my own unique design. At the same time I dabbled in different versions of cloth breast pads andmenstrual pads and the business soon grew to include them, all of which are nowpart of the core business.
Afterselling primarily on ebay, Twinkle Lily started officially as a business onDecember 1st 2007 and has now grown to incorporate over 30 differentre-sellers.
Whomakes Twinkle Lily products and how/where are they made?
All ofTwinkle Lily products are currently made with lots of love personally bythe director/founder Katerina Sioulas in the South Eastern suburb of Mulgrave,Melbourne. Twinkle Lily enjoyed a brief 12 months in 2010 in a retailpremises which helped grow the business and lots of plant was purchased tospeed up production including industrial sewing and overlocking machines aswell as an industrial cutting machine.
CurrentlyTwinkle Lily is back to being a work at home business and has taken over themaster bedroom!
What'syour most important business principle?
Ourcustomers are extremely important to us so our customer service is our numberone priority. Without our customers, we wouldn’t have come this far.
Whatdo you love most about your work?
The bestthing about business is hearing lots of wonderful feedback, it gives us a goodinsight into how well we are performing as a business and is warming to theheart. Of course working on special items is also enjoyable as it breaksup the monotony and can help stir up some creativity.
Isthere anything new happening at Twinkle Lily in the future?
Lotsplanned for the future of Twinkle Lily, including a new OSFM pocket nappy whichis about to hit real soon. Over the course of 2011 will also see some newdesigns in menstrual pads added.
But ourbiggest challenge yet is to be able to stock some large chain retailoutlets making reusable cloth alternatives both accessible and acceptable tothe public.
Thanks, Katerina!
