Oh Baby London is an independent children’s clothing brand created on Brick Lane, in the heart of London’s East End. Bold, eccentric design and irreverent truths like ‘Been Inside for Nine Months’ are the essence of Oh Baby London. What started as an allergic reaction to cakes on the part of founder and mother-of-two Hannah McHalick has grown into a complete collection of cool but cute fashions for 0-4 year olds – and it’s still growing.
