'Periwinkle' Bonnet, Bootees & Mittens Set
by Rita Taylor
These pretty accessories were inspired by a layette set, which included a matinee jacket and cap. It is made in an unbelievably soft Australian merino wool that is machine washable. The fold-back brim on the bonnet is unusual and reminiscent of the poke bonnets of the 1890s, while the shape of the mittens and bootees has hardly changed over the centuries. Trim them with pretty satin ribbons to give your baby an authentic vintage look
