The Story Behind LM Bambini: Why We Do What We Do
Hi, I’m Nat - founder of LM Bambini, and mum to Lucas and Markos (yep, the “L” and “M”). When I first became a mum, I wanted to dress my boys in good quality pieces - something a bit different, a bit special - but I kept hitting a wall. The designer kidswear I loved was either impossible to find in Australia or took weeks (and weeks and weeks!) to arrive.
So, I did something a little wild (and pretty exciting). I started my own boutique. I had no business experience, just a vision, a love for fashion, and a big dream: to bring the world’s best kidswear to Aussie families - minus the wait and the guesswork.
But why kidswear? And why luxury?
Let’s be real - kids grow out of everything in five minutes. I get that. But there’s something magical about those pieces that become part of a memory: the dress your little one wore to a wedding, or the tiny blazer they proudly rocked at Nonna’s birthday lunch.
LM Bambini is about those moments - the ones where fashion feels fun, a little fancy, and full of heart. We believe kids should get to wear pieces that are as special as they are (yes, even if they immediately spill gelato on them). We believe fashion should be fun. They’re only kids once, so why not let them express themselves through FUN pieces that show the world who they are?
I've learned that when you invest in well-made pieces, they actually last - they wash better, wear better, and can be passed down to siblings (or cousins!) without falling apart. The fast-fashion stuff might be cute for a minute, but after one playground visit or pasta night... it's game over.
The European fashion connection (AKA, our happy place)
Every season, I hop on a plane with our amazing buyer Alejandra, and we head to the style capitals - Paris, Milan, Florence - on the hunt for the most beautiful pieces from the world’s best kidswear designers (it’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it).
We’re talking mini Moschino, tiny Fendi coats, dreamy Tartine et Chocolat dresses… it’s heaven. But we don’t just pick anything. We hand-pick every piece to make sure it ticks all our boxes: quality, comfort, and a whole lot of style.
More than just cute clothes
LM Bambini might look fancy (and it is), but at the heart of it, we’re a family-run business. I’m in it every day - choosing collections, packing orders, chatting with customers. We’ve built a team that cares just as much as I do, and we’re obsessed with making your experience easy and fun.
We know that what kids wear becomes part of their story. So we’re here to help you find pieces that make memories - whether it’s for birthdays, holidays, special occasions or just dressing up on a random Tuesday.
