Indigo Muslins
Our Indigo muslins make lovely new baby presents and can also be purchased as a trio in one of our tree free gift trunks.
All of our muslins are block printed by hand onto the softest 100% cotton muslin cloth. It’s very hard to describe just how soft these are but we're thinking somewhere between the very best velvet you've ever stroked and a new baby's bottom. Yep - that soft! They're all finished with a generous satin trim which means that they also double up as comforters or little light blankets for tiny babies.
Good to know:
All of our fabrics are block printed by hand by our artisans and cooperatives in India and Nepal.
Our muslins (like all of our pieces) stand up to rigorous machine washing - in fact the more you wash at 30 degrees the better they get!
Available in Feather, Tiny Rose and Chevron prints.
FAQs:
How big is each muslin? A generous 58 x 58cm
I’m buying a muslin as a gift - how will it be presented? In a lovely bespoke pink envelope with a window cut out in the shape of our logo. Each envelope is made of tree free paper (the paper is actually made from waste cotton scraps) and is finished with a branded wax seal.

About us
We are a small business making lovely things for small people
Willa and The Bear was founded by Hattie in 2014. Mama to Willa, Maud and Gus, Hattie knows a thing or two about the parenting journey and the stuff that helps make life a little bit easier!
We believe in quality and longevity
Every one of our pieces is designed by Hattie in Norfolk and made in small, female run studios in India or Nepal. Shilpa in Jaipur and Rojina in Kathmandu oversee our makers who are all true artisans in their field, block-printing and finishing each item by hand.
Ethical production only
We only use trusted makers and supply chains that operate completely ethically. No mass-produced, anonymous factory settings for us which means that our products are invariably more expensive to produce but we wouldn’t have it any other way. We know that our customers appreciate this important part of our manufacturing process too.
The Process
By Hand
Our female-led studios mix our environmentally-friendly dyes entirely by hand...
The Process
Block Printing
Hattie's designs are painstakingly transferred to specially prepared wooden blocks which are then carved by hand. The designs are then printed onto our fabric by skilled artisans who create perfect repeat patterns entirely by eye.
