ABOUT US
Hello! I'm Rose, the founder of MY NICE PAIR.
MY NICE PAIR aims to celebrate you and your body during your most blooming marvellous/challenging of times!
MY NICE PAIR originated from wanting to feel good during a time that every part of my body was changing.
I couldn't justify, financially and more importantly, environmentally, to purchase all the items I wanted during my maternity, thus I felt confined to a small handful of uninspiring “safe” pieces that failed to celebrate the incredible journey my body was undertaking. I wore these pieces to death for what I thought was going to be MAX 9 months. Supposedly a short period of time, thus not worth the investment.
HOW wrong could I be!
I very quickly discovered that when you embark on the journey of kids, your body changes forever, in many magical and unexpected ways.
I was beginning to really question my decision not to indulge in lots of great pieces of maternity wear...
It was in this moment of weariness that the idea for MY NICE PAIR began to blossom. Having clothes you could continue to wear and swap in on a monthly basis, guilt free (financially AND environmentally) would allow one to experiment at the same time as share in this special time with many other women out there. Think The Sister Hood of the Travelling Pants but with a wider sharing!
Why dungarees? I never understood why so many mothers wore dungarees until I got pregnant. I found them so comforting to wear; so reassuring but also versatile. I wanted to create an item that I would still want to wear post maternity, postpartum and for the years ahead. An item of clothing that could be shared amongst friends, and worn to death over years to come. Pregnant or not.
My aim was to make them as locally as possible and from more environmentally friendly fabric. The denim is totally degradable and they are handmade in the UK.
While they consequently cost considerably more, I believe passionately that by investing in good quality clothing, it will be kinder on the planet and will last a lot longer than your average pair, especially if you SHARE YOUR PAIR!
My ambition for MY NICE PAIR is to have a community of women all sharing in their motherhood experience by default through their NICE PAIRS.
Welcome Welcome, thank you for believing in us!
Love,
Rose Carr-Ellison
