After a bit of a break, Fiona is back and joined by half of Baba West's Leonora Bamford today, to discuss the vitamin and supplement industry for children.

Leonora founded parenting website mybaba.com after the birth of her first child. Now a mother of three and fellow Cotswolds-er, and over ten years on, the parenting and pregnancy blog has become one of the UK's leading destinations for mothers, and Leonora has teamed with the amazing midwife Zita West (if you have not heard of her, do google, she's wonderful) to create natural and effective supplements and probiotics for children and babies; Baba West.

I first came across Baba West when my daughter started eating solid foods at around 6 months, and I wanted a healthy and natural addition to her (sometimes not so) varied diet. I have been using the multivitamin and probiotic powder in her milk since, and have been supplementing her vitamin D with drops. I have been so impressed and have felt so safe with the products, I have been recommending them to every mom-friend I know! And so, am excited to be sharing the brand with the by Fiona Wood community too.

You can learn more about the products by getting in touch via your usual chat based media platform, on email fiona@byfionawood.com, or via DM on instagram.

Fiona is joined by fellow Cotswolder, and her very good friend, Ursula Aitchison this week, the dog-fluencer behind the hugely popular instagram account Hugo and Ursula

With almost 400,000 followers on instagram, they dive deeper into the reality behind instagram, and how creating an insta-perfect lifestyle can positively affect and change your otherwise mundane (for lack of a better word) daily routine. The psychology behind being camera friendly, and ready to be snapped and papped at any point, is fascinating. How does it affect and change your daily life really?

You can explore Ursula's world of golden retrievers, and get to know her two adorable boys, Hugo and Huxley, by following her instagram account @HugoandUrsula

I'd also love to chat about your take on the topic, and can't wait to hear from you soon!

This week on the podcast, Fiona is joined by Lena McCroary, the creative director, founder and designer of London based ready-to-wear brand Sanne.

Each item is made for the customer, so over production is not something that Sannne as a brand participate in. With a turn around time, equal to most deliveries from e-com platforms these days, the Sanne customer is quietly confident and as Lena puts it 'the leading woman in the movie about her own life'.


You can check out the current collection by getting in touch with the by Fiona Wood team, and requesting a PDF document to browse through. Or by checking out their social on instagram @SanneOfficial

Season 2 is in fully swing, and Fiona is joined today by twin founders, Rosie and Lily Fortescue, who have created Bag-d. Their sustainable, buttery soft bag inserts have been created to protect luxury handbags from spillage, damage and wear and tear, and with that increase the life and value of our most precious handbags.

At by Fiona Wood we are known for sourcing and securing some of the rarest and most unique designer handbags, from collectors items, runway pieces to either brand new or limited and discontinued Hermès bags- so it goes without saying that protecting these treasures should be top priority.

We're back for Season 2, and Fiona is joined by current and daughter of the legendary glove maker to the late Queen, Cornelia James. Genevieve James tells the thrilling tale of how her mother Cornelia had studied art and design in Vienna and arrived in England as a refugee in 1939, with a suitcase filled with fabric.

In 1947 the couturier Norman Hartnell asked her to make gloves to accessorise the Princess's going away outfit and in 1979 she became glovemaker ‘by appointment’ to Her Majesty the Queen. Three generations later, the family business is still making gloves by hand in Sussex, England.
