Oh this delightfully sweet play mat is so berry, berry beautiful!

The new Camille collection is all about effortless style and our new season Baby + Kids range adds a playful edge to the sophisticated design. This is beautifully demonstrated in our new season play mat.

A circular design features a large-scale strawberry - a key motif of the season - in a range of bold accent hues. We also love the stitching detail that defines the strawberry and delivers an added considered detail.

The printed reverse features a key pattern from this season's Baby + Kids linen range.

Lightly-filled, it offers softness and comfort for the littlest family members. Play time just became even more fun!
