Waterproof Ugly Duckling nursery bag

The Ugly Duckling spreads its wings on this waterproof bag, surrounded by its grey siblings among daisies, for the dummy, lunch and a change of clothes. The white duck with the orange beak takes centre stage in the design, looking happy with the little ducklings who did not understand him in the story, beneath a blue sky with clouds.

It is a newborn gift that can be used from the very first day. The dummy bag leaves hospital with the dummy and clip; when nursery starts, the lunch and changing bags join it, and the set remains useful through primary school.

The fabric is very lightweight waterproof microfibre that keeps moisture from reaching the rest of the backpack: a wet bib or dirty bodysuit can be carried inside without making a mess. It fastens and hangs from the drawstring at the opening.

If you are giving it as a gift, order it with the baby’s name embroidered inside a fabric cloud, in brown or pink: that is what makes it truly theirs.
