Our Products
Gemsquash offers a full range of babies linen. All components used for the linen are sourced with the health and safety of babies and children in mind, hence the pure cotton and natural bamboo, even down to the nickel-free press studs used in the baby duvet cover.
There are currently six ranges within the Gemsquash collection and each range consists of the following:
• Cot bumper
• Duvet
• Pillow case
• Laundry bag
• Nappy stacker
• Hooded towel
• Cot organiser
Also available in our collection:
• Beautifully designed quilts
• Cellular blankets
• Handcrafted bamboo blankets
• Fitted Sheets
• Fleece blankets
The bamboo blankets are by far the most exceptional baby blanket on the market today. These exquisitely soft blankets are the latest addition to the Gemsquash range.
The blankets are available in various colours and are a must-have item to pass down as a family heirloom. Bamboo is unique and special because it is organic, hypoallergenic, 100% bio-degradable, naturally anti-bacterial and 60% more absorbent than cotton. Bamboo also has a cooling effect on the skin, it is machine washable (in cold water of course) and no pesticides are required on bamboo crops, which mean the crops are never sprayed.
Gemsquash products are all handcrafted. This means that every piece of linen you receive is completely unique in it’s design. The appliqués are lovingly crocheted by hand using bamboo yarn, and as much as we try to keep each appliqué consistent, there may be slight variations. This adds to the appeal of the product, not only from an aesthetic point of view, but from a quality perspective. We do not mass produce our linen, and work closely with small manufacturing workshops, so we can closely monitor the quality of each item of linen which is produced.
The Company
The idea for Gemsquash came about eight years ago, when during my pregnancy with my first child, I could not source the linen and accessories I wanted to decorate my child’s nursery. Gemma was born in October 2000, and months thereafter Gemsquash was born. The name “Gemsquash” was derived from her name, as she was fondly nicknamed “Gemsquash”.
Since it’s inception in 2000, Gemsquash has been on a quest to produce a range that is unique in its design and style, exceptional in quality, using fabrics and materials that are pure and natural. We are proud to say that we have achieved our objectives but constantly strive to reach new heights. We have created and designed the most exquisite range of top quality handcrafted babies linen. Incorporated into the linen is a design or appliqué which is made from sought-after natural bamboo products which are hand dyed with superior colour fast dye, and then crocheted or woven by women from previously disadvantaged communities of South Africa.
As moms ourselves, we know the thrill and jubilation of having a baby. We know that your newborn baby is a precious gift. The items that we create are designed with our kids, friend’s kids and your kids in mind. We have high standards and it shows in our products.
We strive to give our customers exceptional service and top quality products.
