Nina & Sally Nortier are the owners of Everli Baby, a trendy but classic clothing brand for babies and toddlers.

Since they were young, Nina and Sally have shared a vision of working together as siblings to create something beautiful. The idea for the brand was sparked after spotting a gap in the market when they always struggled to find the perfect baby shower, birthday or Christening gifts. The sisters took their time before deciding on babywear.

‘We wanted to create a product that can be treasured forever, while being challenged outside our comfort zones,’ says Sally.

‘We were inspired to create bespoke garments that are timelessly elegant, and Everli Baby was borne of love for lace and all things pretty.’

Handmade from bamboo and cotton, their products are designed to last and be passed down from one generation to the next. ‘The quality of our customised products ensures they last, but it’s the timelessness and daintiness of our designs that make our clothing the perfect heirloom to either keep in your child’s memory box, or to pass on to the next generation of children in your family or friendship circle,’ says Nina.

Each item in their range is named after one of the cherubs they meet along the way. ‘Our products are as delicate as the bundles of joy who wear them,’ says Nina. Every garment is uniquely designed and made locally with lots of love. We add a touch of soft lace, dye by hand, and package our products elegantly with a personalised swing tag. Everli is an experience we love to share,’ says Nina.
