My Story

When I was a little girl living in Guyana, South America, my mom used to take me to see my Great Aunt Jean, who was a great seamstress. I still remember how she pinned and gathered the fabric to create style and bounce, all while holding animated and entertaining conversations with my mom. I draw my inspiration for color, texture and patterns from memories of my Uncle Reggie's  (Great Aunt Jean's husband) garden.  He took pride in his garden, and the vibrant colors, textures and patterns of the fruits, flowers and vegetables still lingers in my mind. I apply the same meticulous care and love to my pieces, that Uncle Reggie applied to his garden.

That was just the beginning of my love for art, design and color. After graduating from college, I started Yinibini Baby! Organic cotton clothing blanks are screen-printed by hand with my original illustrations, inspired by stories from growing up in both Washington, DC and Guyana. Accessories such as bibs are handmade and are also screen-printed by hand. I also use organic cotton patterned fabrics to make bibs and other accessories.

Stories have a powerful and unique impact on our lives—from sharing personal experiences to story time snuggles with our favorite books. Yinibini Baby weaves the magic of storytelling into every garment designed so that you and your children can create wonderful stories of your own.

You’ll also find a curated selection of toys, books and other items for kids that encourage imagination and play.

Happy Shopping!
