Minneapolis, MN – On October 4th, Tibby and Finn launched their clothing brand on Kickstarter, aimed at offering a contemporary fashion line that enables moms to feel comfortable, and attractive as she transitions through the various stages of motherhood while still wearing the same pieces. Initially, Tibby and Finn is offer their innovative and fashionable nursing tops that aid breastfeeding without over-exposing the mother. The designs offer fashion, newness and ease-of-use currently not found in the market place. Tibby and Finn nursing tops offers moms an easy way to breastfeed anywhere with their drape-over designs. And when she is no longer breastfeeding, she still has a fashionable and comfortable top she can wear in her everyday life even when pregnant.
“The problem”, says Rafi Fletcher, the founder and designer “is that women are being harassed for breastfeeding in public. Why should a mother be escorted out of a store, restaurant or park because she had to feed her crying baby. Current nursing tops are fussy, uncomfortable and guess what you are still exposed. We all know that breast milk is best for your baby, and the benefits of breastfeeding extend well beyond basic nutrition, so it’s time to re-think and re-imagine the nursing top to aid mother and child’s comfort.”
Tibby and Finn’s nursing system comprises of a nursing top designed to flare out at the bottom sweep. The top allows mom to drape the front panel over her baby’s head or torso. Underneath the top is a base tank with the front panel cut below the bust-line, thus eliminating another layer from the bust area while covering moms back and midsection. The combination of the two pieces allow for easy access and perfect coverage while breastfeeding.
The Tibby and Finn project will run until November 19th, during which time, in exchange for supporting the project, Tibby and Finn enthusiasts have the opportunity to receive ‘rewards’ ranging from Tibby and Finn cotton tote bag to their nursing sets, which includes two nursing tops and a base tank.
