Meet Blade and Rose: The UK Baby Brand That Makes Adults Jealous
There is a subset of baby clothing that is so good-looking that you find yourself genuinely wishing it came in adult sizes. Blade and Rose sits firmly in that category. A UK brand with a devoted following across the world, Blade and Rose makes organic cotton baby and kids clothing built around bold character prints, excellent build quality, and a slightly irreverent spirit that sets them apart from everything else in the baby clothes market.
Here at Baby Goes Retro, we have been fans of Blade and Rose from the start. Here is a guide to some of our favourite pieces and what makes the brand worth knowing about.
Blade and Rose Hamish the Highland Cow Hoodie
Hamish the Highland Cow is probably Blade and Rose's most recognisable character, and for good reason. The illustration is genuinely beautiful: a detailed, affectionate portrait of a highland cow rendered in warm, earthy tones against a soft blue background. On the Hamish Hoodie, this print wraps around a beautifully made organic cotton sweatshirt with a cosy kangaroo pocket, a drawstring hood, and a fit that works equally well on a crawling baby and a running toddler.

Blade and Rose Maple the Dino Top
If your household has a dinosaur fan in it (and most households with small children do), the Maple the Dino Top is going to be a hit. Maple is a Blade and Rose original character: a friendly, colourful dinosaur that appears across a range of coordinated pieces. The long-sleeve top is made from soft organic cotton, has a neat round neck, and the print is bold enough to be eye-catching without being overwhelming. It pairs beautifully with plain leggings or with other Maple the Dino pieces.
Find the Blade and Rose Maple the Dino Top in our Blade and Rose range.
Miffy Busy in the Veg Patch Collection
Blade and Rose have collaborated with the iconic Miffy brand to create a range of organic cotton baby and toddler clothing that is genuinely one of the most charming things we stock. The Busy in the Veg Patch collection features Miffy in a garden setting: a soft, beautifully illustrated print in warm greens and pinks. The range includes tops, leggings and socks that all work together, and the Miffy brand recognition makes it a wonderful gift option as well as an everyday favourite.

Blade and Rose Honey Bee Footless Tights
The Honey Bee Footless Tights are the kind of piece that transforms a basic outfit. A bold bumblebee print across soft organic cotton tights, footless for easy wearing with any shoes or bare feet, they pair with virtually anything and add a hit of colour and personality to even the simplest bodysuit-and-top combination. They are also genuinely well-made: the waistband sits comfortably, the fabric holds its shape, and the print stays vivid through repeated washing.
Find the Blade and Rose Honey Bee Footless Tights in our tights and leggings collection.
What Makes Blade and Rose Worth It
Beyond the prints, what keeps parents coming back to Blade and Rose is the build quality. These are clothes that genuinely hold up. The stitching is strong, the fabric maintains its shape and colour through serious washing, and the prints do not fade or crack. For a brand in the character-print space, where quality can be inconsistent, this matters a lot.
The brand also uses organic cotton across their range, which is important for the same reasons it always is with baby clothes: sensitive skin, safer fabrics, better environmental outcomes. Browse our full Blade and Rose collection at Baby Goes Retro.
