During lockdown Angela Weatherly decided to switch from selling books and bibles to babywear – with a message.
‘I wanted to create a brand which carried a message of hope, not just the usual cheeky monkey angle,’ she explained. IBelieve Baby Apparel was born and already her range of babygrows and t-shirts have found a welcome home in many families.
‘They are the kind of outfits I wish had been available when my own children were little,’ she said. ‘Too many are inappropriate.’
Her messages include ‘Straight outta heaven’ and ‘Jesus walks with me’.
‘I want my clothes to say something positive about the child,’ said Angela who began selling ladies’ fashion items from a market stall, then had a high street shop selling gifts and cards for 20 years.
She aims to increase the range of products over the next few years – and one of her hats has already been requested by adults!
