You can love kids’ design long before you have kids yourself. Then you have them – and suddenly, things that are only used for a few months make very little sense.

We’d rather buy fewer, better things. Pieces that last, look good and don't end up in landfill after one season.

Add our love for good design, our wish for less clutter and more quality, and the realisation that becoming a mum is also about finding yourself – and Finding Dodo was born.

But let’s start at the beginning.

When Ina’s son Ari was born, she received a cashmere blanket as a gift. It quickly became his favourite thing to sleep with and soon became part of everyday family life.

So we thought: why not make a blanket like Ari’s, but exactly the way we wanted it?

That’s where Fabian came in. He had spent years working as a buyer in the textile industry, with a special focus on baby and kidswear.

And just like that, the idea was born: cashmere for kids, but different.

Not for one season, but for years. Pieces that grow with your child, can be passed on and, ideally, shared with Mum, too.

And definitely not baby beige and grey. Colour. Lots of it.
