Itti Bitti UK sale back on

This is probably the last time they will hold this to clear out any last remaining stock so if you missed it before Christmas then be quick as there isnt much left!! Postage is £3.95 – but I have a feeling it might be free over £60/£65 maybe? http://ittibitti.co.uk/

I fully recommend the sized D’Lish nappies – I like the all in ones (AIOs) best but others love the snap in ones (SIOs) but at less then £6 each you can get both versions to try! Not many colours left but they would be a great trim option to pad out any stash. And remember to get the next size up whilst they are at these prices!

The BTP Tuttos are all sold out but there are some of the BTP Ones & Twos nappies left. I wasnt a fan of them as I hate velcro but they are trim and come with a booster, being an AIO nappy they do take a while to dry though but again at just over £5 a nappy it’s a bargain.

There’s also Rockin Green nappy detergent samples with 20% off, I’ve used this before and thought  it was fine, a bit expensive to use every wash but good to have in the cupboard for every now and then or strip washes and the sample packets are perfect for this. This may be hard to get in the future so grab a few!

Itti Bitti ultimate wipes are in the sale with 45% off, love these, nice big wipes which are thick and bright. We also have a set we use for messy hands and faces at the table, they are lovely.

Happy shopping!

An Itti Bitti bit of sad news

I’m a bit late to the party and you probably already know this but Itti are closing down distribution in the UK and Europe. They’ve said that stockists will still be able to get hold of products, including the new releases but I dont think many places will be stocking them as the cost of importing direct from Australia is always high. Very sad news, we’ve always liked the D’Lish and Bitti Boos, but expect to see a lot of places selling the Itti stock of cheap, I know there was a big sale at the Itti uk website with big savings but that’s finished now.  It would have been nice if they’d have let us know before announcing all the new prints and things as like I said, now we probably wont be getting them or if we do it might be at a higher price, oh well.

In other news, we’re doing well and looking forward to Christmas!! Have a lovely weekend everyone.

New prints on the block

Well during my babymoon with Izzy it seems all the nappy makers have come out with new prints and designs – yay! So here’s a quick rundown on things, I’ll include links to the company’s Facebook page (as it’s always worth following them for giveaways) and to where I’ve ordered any of the new prints from or where you can buy them from – if they’ve been released yet that is!

Firstly Tots Bots have come out with not one but two new sets of prints, ‘Bum Voyage‘ builds on the old limited edition London print they brought out earlier this year and adds New York and Paris. They’re all very gender neutral but they dont really fill me with excitement, maybe they would grab me more if the backgrounds weren’t white or were bolder but still very cute and a nice idea.

But then they surprised everyone a few weeks ago with another line of prints called ‘Double Agents‘. Pooper Hero and Nature Girl – I love both prints but not the names so much. I’ve bought both of these already from Fill Your Pants, and they are really nice ‘in the flesh’ so to speak. They also have matching tshirts to go with them but with it now being virtually winter I dont see the point of a matching tshirt and nappy when the nappy will be hidden but still it is a really lovely idea, hopefully they might continue this for new prints in the future (roll on spring/summer).

Itti Bitti also showed us some previews of the five new 2013 prints, now as they are previews they are just artist’s impressions/computer generated so I’m sure they will look much better once made. Here are Hanako, Pow (my favourite) and Rebound – it seems with all the superhero films being made it’s rubbed off in the nappy world but I dont have a problem with that! And these will be out in the Tutto and D’Lish ranges, in the soft and lush minky fabric.

Then we have Seaweed and I think an as yet to be named ‘Gingerbread’ print. So a nice mix of girl/boy and gender neutral prints but I think we’ll only be getting Pow but as I said when we can see them actually made maybe the rest might appeal to me more.

They have also announced that they are updating the solid colour range, the new rainbow range of colours – although look similar or even the same as the current range are all new and slightly different, deeper colours etc. These will be out at the end of the year or early next year, will replace existing colours and be available in both the Tutto and D’Lish ranges. And you’ll also be able to just buy the shells of the nappies separately from the inserts, so you can decide if you wanted a Tutto shell with mf inserts, rather than having to buy it as bamboo and then buy the mf inserts on top.

And dont forget that Itti are also bringing out new Boo colours sometime soon, these will replace the old bright colours (which is a shame they cant run alongside them) and Boo’s will then also come with a booster, which is good news but I’m sure they’ll be a price increase to cover it! Here are Ivory, Seafoam, Papaya and Mulberry, I really love them all, well not such a fan of the Ivory but the others are lush!

Next up is the new prints from Blueberry and Swaddlebees, a lot of new nappies from them have arrived here in the UK lately, from prefolds, the AIO Basix, the AIO newborn Simplex, training pants, the Bamboo OS fitted, wetbags and of course the newborn Mini Deluxe, bamboo newborn fitted and mini coveralls. Reviews and possibly a giveaway or two to follow, but for now on to the prints! Here are the two new prints, Elephants and Monsters in the coveralls and the newborn Simplex nappies (so cute and tiny!). A bit boyish some might say but I love the Monsters print, I just wish the trim and poppers werent in brown but in the orange or purple which would make it more gender neutral and really pop in my eyes.

Then we have Rumparooz, who have come out with two new colours to add to the already pretty extensive range of colours and a new print. Here are Peacock, Phantom and Preppy. Have to save I’m not a huge fan of the Preppy, although it is something new and unlike anything else out at the minute, but the other two colours are great editions, Peacock is gorgeous. These are available now in the OS pocket, newborn nappies, wraps etc at Funky Monkey Pants and other Rumparooz stockists. How cute is this picture!

And lastly, BumGenius have branched out and are releasing wetbags at the start of next year, these are Glimmer (Twilight/Moonbeam) and Ballet (Blossom/Grey). I’m interested to see whether they bring these prints out in the nappy ranges too as well.

Okay so I think I’ve covered everything that’s happened, if I’ve missed anything then let me know!

Itti Bitti new prints for Oct 2011

It seems only a few weeks since I did a post about Itti Bitti’s new prints (here), actually it was the end of July/start of August they were released but still that’s only two months ago so not long ago at all. So I was surprised to hear that they have another set of limited edition prints ready to go!! This maybe answers my question about why there were only 4 released last time when the time before there were 7, I guess they want to release new prints more regularly so small batches must be easier to achieve. I cant see them releasing new ones every two months thought, I’d guess every 3/4 months would be more average but know knows?

From left to right: Gerry, Eton, Daquiri, Galaxy, and Wo-Bott

So anyway, to the prints, yay or nay? There are 5 new prints and I’d say these are more gender neutral/boyish then the last lot . But that’s not a problem as to be honest I think mostly those with little boys dont always get a fair deal in things like this. Gerry is nice although it does look a bit dark as does Eton but I do really like that one its a nice mix of rich colours, great for a boy. I’m not 100% sure on the Daquiri, I think it’s one of those you have to see in your hands and either love it or hate it type, It looks better I think on the blankets in a larger area and they are doing the matching wetbags in all prints too. Galaxy is again rather G/N I think and makes me think of Christmas! And lastly the Wo-Bott print, and name is super cute, I would snap this up if we had a boy!

But will I be getting any? I dont think so, I do like most of them but I’m not really taken enough to spend more money and get them. Especially knowing there might be a new range out in a few more months. I’m super impressed with the speed of Itti getting these out so quickly after the last lot but I’m thinking retailers might start to get a bit miffed, as if it’s always like this as they’d have to be constantly selling off ‘old editions’ to make room for the new!

Anyway these will be released 23rd October – I’m not 100% on whether that’s just in Australia and then we’ll have to wait a few weeks from that date till UK stockists get them but I’m sure all the usual places will sell them and start up pre-orders on them soon.

Other nappy makers take note – release new limited edition prints (or even just new colours) regularly and it’s a win. We like to feel that our nappies are special to us and unique (okay so they make hundreds of thousands in each limited run but still you know what I mean!). Oh the downside is please dont bring out yummy prints too quickly as bank managers everywhere will soon cotton on and we will have to start taking out ‘Fluffy loans’!

Itti Bitti – limited editions July/Aug 2011 and competition

http://ittibitti.co.uk/

Yes that’s right, summer is officially here and so is the new limited edition prints from Itti Bitti! This time they have released 4 new prints, I think Ponder and Ayannah are my favourites. They’ve also got matching change mats, which look fab but I think I’d have prefered a colour on the other side rather than white. I’m not totally digging the names, except Ponder – I think that’s very cute and fitting with the print!

I do think it would have been nice to have another print or two, I mean they are mostly gender neutral but last time they released limited edition prints (which I wasnt a fan of on first look but ended up buying 4 of them!) they had 7 in the line up. Here’s a recap of the now older limited editions to the right, you may still be able to pick some of the prints up at reduced prices in various places. Danube and Fleur were my favs but I also got a Spectra and Retro Bubbles!

So that’s me quick take on the new prints, I think I’ll *have* to get Chloe a Ponder and Ayannah tutto, they’re limited so it would be rude not to! Also if you fancy winning a limited edition Tutto nappy and change mat of your choice then head on over to Babi Pur’s blog and enter they’re fabby competition (I did!), closes 15th August, good luck!
