Tootsa MacGinty Penguin Jumper for Refuge

January 12, 2015 //  by Uju//  2 Comments

 
Penguin Jumper Tootsa MacGinty
 
You might have spotted this rather charming fella in an earlier post.

No, I don’t mean Mr Droopy Lips back there, or even Ezra (although they both have their moments). I’m talking about the party penguin on Ezra’s chest. How cute is he?

We had a special Christmas delivery from Jules of Tootsa MacGinty who kindly gifted us with sweet kids jumpers that the babes wore to Winterville and to impress Santa at Westfield.

Tootsa Macginty is rightly proud of its knitwear that’s made of itch-free cashmere and wool mix yarns, all super soft to the touch. This Pearly Princess at Winterville seemed very taken with Jed in his Christmas tree jumper.

But my favourite is the Tootsa MacGinty Penguin jumper, exclusively designed by kids book illustrator Nadia Shireen.

What’s extra special about the Tootsa MacGinty Penguin Jumper is that 100% of profits from its sales go to the charity Refuge that provides shelter and solace for women and children survivors of domestic violence.

And while stock’s available there’s no time limit to when you can bag one of these beauties — after all penguins are for life not just for Christmas!

Pick up a Tootsa MacGinty Penguin Jumper and support Refuge in helping more families rebuild their lives.

Penguin jumpers and other knitwear, from £38, available at tootsamacginty.com

    Awh what a cute jumper! We love penguins. itch free is vital or the kids hate it and then any trip out and about becomes hell.

    Penguins are the best, aren’t they? I want one myself although the Fox jumper is pretty darn foxy ;-)
