About Our Shop
Welcome
to AMAMAMA, located in the vibrant heart of London, Kings Cross. Our dedication to craftsmanship is evident in every piece we create, all meticulously handmade in Central London, UK.
At the core of our creations are the exquisite African Wax Prints, locally sourced, and occasionally, the vibrant Dutch Wax Prints imported from a trusted company in the Netherlands. Also recently introduced Japanese Vintage Yukata fabrics shipped from my home country, Japan. Committed to sustainability, all our fabrics are 100% cotton.
Embracing a zero-waste philosophy, we utilize every fabric off-cut to craft small accessories, minimizing waste and environmental impact. Our commitment to eco-conscious practices extends to our packaging – our garments are lovingly enclosed in 100% biodegradable brown paper bags, eschewing plastic entirely.
Our offerings cater to every stage of life, ranging from baby and children's apparel to adult clothing, homeware, and accessories. Originating from our signature reversible dungarees for babies, our collection has flourished alongside our growing family. We revel in the joy of dressing children in vibrant, unisex, and imaginative clothing that stands apart from mainstream high-street and high-end options. Our creations are designed for everyday wear, effortlessly infusing a sense of joy into the lives of those who wear them and those around them.
To honor our commitment to the environment, we operate on a 'MADE TO ORDER' basis, ensuring minimal stockpiling and avoiding the use of plastic bags for storage. This not only aligns with our eco-friendly ethos but also allows us to create unique, personalized pieces for our customers. Please allow 3-7 days for the crafting of your order. In cases of urgency, feel free to reach out, and we may prioritize your order for expedited production.
Given the handmade nature of our creations, each item is expected to possess a subtle uniqueness, contributing to the charm and individuality of our pieces.

Maker
Greetings! I'm Kaya, a mother of two delightful children, and our home is nestled in the heart of central London, Kings Cross. My journey into the world of sewing began just a few months after the arrival of my first child. Driven by a desire to dress her in garments adorned with the captivating beauty of African Wax fabrics, I embarked on a creative venture that has since become a cherished part of my life.
From the early days when my kids were tiny bundles peacefully sleeping in baby carriers, I've been crafting with care and love in my home studio. This project has evolved alongside my family, drawing inspiration from the warmth of friends, the smiles of customers and their little ones, the camaraderie of neighbors, the vibrant markets we've been a part of, the greenery of plant pots on our balcony, and the infectious positivity that surrounds us.
In this creative haven, I am joined by two fellow moms whose talents shine through in their crafting of exceptional items such as hats, mascots, buntings, and more, all ingeniously fashioned from fabric off-cuts. Their creativity adds an extra layer of magic to our collective efforts. Together, we weave a tapestry of creativity, community, and shared joy that extends far beyond the stitches in our creations. Welcome to our world at AMAMAMA, where every piece tells a story, and the heart and soul of our community resonate in every stitch.
