autumn already?

It's September 18th and it's raining here in Spain.

Now I know this is an unusual occurance because today is my wedding anniverary and I can categorically state that on September 18th 3 years ago it was very hot and very sunny. The sky was blue and there was a lovely warm breeze. The last few years have also been nice as I def remember celebrating my anniversary in the sunshine, so it's rather odd to find it raining this year.

All in all it's been a strange year weather wise. Here in Spain we had a very dull May and June followed by an exceptionally and often unbearably hot July and August and now we seem to be having a duller September.

All this rain is having an effect on our company though. It's no longer summer and autumn feel's like it's properly here, which means that at Indybel we can turn out attention to our autumn range which features some really lovely products.

The Buggy Brolly for example is a great product we found at last years Baby Show in London. It's a huge umbrella which fixes on the arm of your pram or pushchair and keeps both mum and baby dry. The idea really though is that this is a product to help mum, as believe me when you are pushing a pushchair, holding onto a bag or two or maybe even a dog, you don't have any means to carry a brolly ... so when it rains ... you get wet! The Buggy Brolly is a great remedy to all these things and is also a really nice looking and strong product. We are really excited to be one of the few stockists in Spain and are hoping that the Buggy Brolly will be really popular this autumn. We'll certainly be sporting ours!


Then there's our gorgeous Bambino Merino New Zeland Wool baby sleeping bags. These are so snug and the great thing about them is that they have cleverly positioned buttons to alter the size, meaning you don't have to buy lots of sleeping bags in different sizes. With these you can simply use one all the way through. We're so excited by them that as the autumn nights get cooler we are planning a special Indybel promotion for our customers who may like to purchase our Bambino Merino bags. Another of our autumn favourites is the lovely super stylish Seraphine Maternity range ... this includes fab bootleg jeans which Lesley ( who is 8 and a half months pregnant ) assures me are still comfortable right at the end of your pregnancy and lovely cosy but still very stylish pyjama's, perfect for snuggling up in when you watch TV.
We have many more lovely pregnancy and baby essentials to see you through the autumn in Spain. To see them simply visit http://www.indybel.com/

We had a great 'autumn' meeting this morning and came up with some great offers for the coming months, plus mapped out our advertising strategy. Hopefully this will kick in soon so keep an eye out for Indybel in the future ....
