Baby On The Way

Blauen designs high quality baby linens and accessories. Owner Margaret Scheff developed her passion for rich fabrics in her childhood in Switzerland. She has been in business for over 25 years creating classic and traditional linens for the bassinet and crib. She still hand cuts and meticulously sews all of the pieces which are created in soft pastel colors. — Clients can customize every aspect from the fabric to the trim and embroidery. Customers are also welcome to bring in their own fabric and materials, though Blauen uses only 100% Egyptian Cotton damask, which is designed in house and woven in Europe. Despite being known for baby linens, the company also designs and sells a host of baby accessories, such as bibs, music pillows, canopies and more. You can order pieces as an ensemble or separately, and they can customize them to fit any size bassinet, heirloom or antique. Another hidden secret? Blauen customizes adult linens too! Prices start at $30; www.blauenltd.com.
