Following recent Instagram posts from Harry and Meghan highlighting there past year in photos with Baby Archie we look into the outfits worn by the young royal and ask the question of whether gender neutral baby gifts are proving more popular with new parents.
Prior to this highlighted post we have seen Archie only a handful of times since his birth we have seen the young windsor donned in primarily neutral white tones from his christening to recent polo match event also attended by his cousins Prince George and Princess Charlotte further confirming both Meghan and Harry’s intentions in keeping the gender neutral theme.
Many parents are now more conscious of natural items that are versatile, sustainable and most of all of quality giving that extra durability and a clear shift away from fast fashion adopted by their younger peers.
Inspired by these trends at Willow and Cole we have curated The ‘Royal Archie’ collection which includes luxurious cashmere baby blankets, cardigans and soft toys which have been designed for new parents or as baby gift set at celebrations, christenings or baby showers following the neutral and timeless themes that compile our new baby gift collection.
Crafted in neutral shades of grey and cream, the gifts in the collection are an ideal match for the ‘Auro’ grey vegan paint used in Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor’s new gender-neutral nursery at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor. The soft toy and blankets have also been selected as nod to some of the stunning newborn baby gifts that baby Archie received from members of the Royal Family and the British public earlier last Spring.
