About Us Jane Blakey founded Lou & Olly in July 2008, in Auckland, New Zealand. She named the company after her affectionate nick-names for her two small daughters, Brooke Lucy and Olivia (Lou & Olly). Jane has designed every item in the Lou & Olly range with Brooke and Olivia in mind (and usually on hand too). She meticulously researches and tests all her designs and materials - and the girls' take their jobs as the official test subjects for the blankets very seriously! It's important to Jane that each item not only looks great, but is also as comfortable against your baby's skin as it can possibly be. Brooke and Olivia love that the company is named after them and Jane is incredibly proud to be sharing both her designs and the purity and softness of merino wool with mothers and babies all around the world. About Jane Jane comes from a strong background in sales and market-ing.Since 2002 she has been importing and distributing boutique baby products under her successful brand Fine Lines. Her offer-ings have included such internationally renowned labels as OiOi from Australia and Aden + Anais from the States. Jane has a passion for beautiful accessories and clothing and has always dreamed of creating her own line of boutique baby gar-ments. Lou & Olly is the realisation of that dream!

Our Philosophy At Lou & Olly we are committed to providing parents and children with the purest, most beautiful and functional products made from 100% natural materials.

New Eco Dye Vintage Baby Blankets ease skin irritation in toddlers Owned children’s wear brand Lou & Olly has just released a new vintage-style Eco Dyed merino wool blanket. What makes the blan-ket special is that the dyeing process adheres to the stringent global textile standard, Oeko-Tex Standard 100. The Eco Dyed blankets are aimed at parents who want to wrap and dress their kids in all-natural fibres, free from the chemicals used to colour and treat most modern kids wear. Lou & Olly founder Jane Blakey says using an Eco Dye process that conforms to Oeko Tex 100 is a major step forward for the company and the intricate vintage blankets add a traditional flavour to their product offering. “Merino wool has always been linked to low incidence of skin aller-gies in children. But now that we’ve gone further and reduced the hazardous substances used in the dyeing process, which can cause skin irritations, even children with the most sensitive skin are ca-tered for. Plus the detailing on the vintage blankets makes them look like something grandma might have knitted,” she says. To attain the Oeko-Tex standard, Lou & Olly vintage blankets steer clear of harmful chemicals during the dyeing process. This reduc-tion of chemicals means less energy is consumed at the treatment plants and fewer chemicals end up in our waterways. Even the wa-ter Lou & Olly use for treatment is natural bore water, rather than chemically treated urban tap water. Blakey says that purity is the beauty of buying New Zealand made. “At Lou & Olly, we’re very proud of New Zealand’s clean, green image and we want to deliver a product that reflects that purity to our customers. Fewer chemicals in the finished product not only mean a healthier experience for the wearer, but also makes perfect sense on a product that’s delicate yet durable like merino,” she says.
