In these recessionary times, it’s tempting to hit the bargain bins and add more tat to Junior’s wear-onceables.

But scrap the bulk-buy attitude and turn your little fighter’s war-drobe into a piece zone with Indigo’s homespun cashmere for women, children and babies.

Designed by a London-based mother of two, booty basics include cardigans, jumpers, hats and blankets woven with funky spots, stars and hearts. All are  machine washable, ensuring that each lasts well beyond the spree.

No doubt, you’ll yarn for the lot.
