A muslin designed to be displayed, not just used.
This muslin is part of our V&A collaboration through which we license traditional, nostalgic, and celebrated designs from the V&A. The design is then woven into certified organic cotton muslin.
This muslin fabric is exceptionally breathable, grows softer with every wash, and is gentle enough to use from day one. The muslins are large enough to swaddle your baby, light enough to use as a pram shade, and beautiful enough to drape over a nursing chair.
Machine wash low and tumble dry low (if you can hang the muslin blankets out to dry that's always best).

About the design
Licensed from the V&A, this Alice in Wonderland print was created by C.F.A. Voysey, the celebrated Arts and Crafts designer known for his textiles, wallpapers and beautifully stylised patterns.
His Alice in Wonderland design, created around 1920, belongs to a later, more narrative period of his work, when his patterns were often intended for children’s rooms and nurseries.
Full of characterful details and a gentle, storybook feel, the print brings together the weird and wonderful world of Alice with Voysey’s soft, decorative style.
A playful and timeless design, it feels whimsical, nostalgic and full of imagination — perfect for little dreamers and lovers of classic illustration alike.
The origins of this Alice in Wonderland design, according to the V&A:
Beginning in the 1880s, a strong interest in children's book illustration developed in England, and this Voysey pattern, typical of his original and witty style, continued to be popular for a very long time after its introduction. The Alice in Wonderland fabric came to the Museum as part of a large group of textiles and original design drawings donated by Jocelyn Morton, a descendant of the founder of Alexander Morton & Co. of Darvel, Scotland, which manufactured some of the best of English Arts and Crafts textiles.
These muslins are extra large, you'll notice the difference!
At 110cm x 110cm in size, they are extra large muslins meaning extra useful.
A parenting essential, ideal for swaddling, mopping up spills, breastfeeding, a little extra warmth in the buggy, or even acting as a sunshade.
Our large muslins are made from 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton by Chaitanya and his team in Northern India. All dyes are Oeko-Tex certified so have been tested to be safe and free from harmful chemicals.
By choosing organic cotton you’re making a good choice all round. It’s better for the environment since only natural processes are used to grow the cotton (e.g. ladybirds help to control pests rather than pesticides). No harmful chemicals (from pesticides or fertilizers) seep into waterways or degrade the soil. And less water is used compared to conventional cotton.
The GOTS certification also covers social standards like decent working hours and no child labour (which has shockingly been an issue in lots of cotton-growing areas around the world).
While a muslin blanket feels a world away from farmers’ fields, by choosing organic cotton you are helping to create a healthier environment for all those who make our products and for our future planet.
