Gordonsbury makes hand embroidered cotton and linen for babies and for the home. Crib quilts, fitted sheets and pillow shams, newborn layette, hooded towels and bath pieces, nursery accessories, and pure linen guest towels and tissue box covers.

Every piece is made from natural fibers and finished with hand embroidery, creating heirloom quality pieces meant to be passed from one generation to the next. That is the whole of it, and it is why the range is deliberately narrow.

The fabrics

• 100% Pima cotton for the layette and bath range: onesies, beanies, booties, bibs, sleepsacks, receiving blankets and hooded towels. Pima has extra long staple fibers, which is what makes it soft, breathable and durable enough to launder again and again.
• 100% cotton for the crib bedding and nursery accessories: quilts, duvet covers, fitted sheets, pillow shams, tissue box covers and vanity holders.
• Pure linen for the guest towels and tissue box covers, in natural or white.
• Leather with non-slip suede soles for the soft sole baby shoes, made in South Africa.

The designs

Nine embroidery designs run through the collection, so pieces bought at different times still belong together: On Safari, Nautical, Rosebud, Bunny, Baby Bee, Teddy Bear, Botanical, Palm Tree and Bird.

The bedding, bath and layette ranges share designs on purpose. A Safari crib quilt, a Safari hooded towel and a Safari onesie are the same embroidery on three different pieces.

Baby skincare

The Gordonsbury skincare range is a baby wash, a body lotion and a bum balm diaper cream. All three are fragrance-free, plant-based, vegan and cruelty-free, and formulated without parabens or sulfates.

Monogramming

Pieces can be monogrammed. Add the monogramming item to your order and we will contact you for the details. The White Cotton Baby Boudoir Pillow Sham is made plain for this reason, so initials, a name or a birth date sit on a clear front rather than against an embroidered design.

Returns and exchanges

What is your returns policy?
Our policy lasts 14 days. If 14 days have gone by since your purchase we cannot offer a refund or exchange. To be eligible, the item must be unused and in the same condition you received it, in its original packaging, with any seals unbroken.

How do I start a return or an exchange?
Email us at info@gordonsbury.com before you send anything back. We will email you instructions. Returns go to Gordonsbury Returns, 69 Wheeler Ave, Pleasantville, NY 10570, United States.

Is there anything you cannot take back?
Bath and beauty products such as olive oil soaps or bath salts that are sold in unsealed containers. Sale items can only be refunded if they are faulty.

Who pays return shipping?
You are responsible for the cost of returning an item, and shipping costs are not refunded. We would suggest a trackable service or shipping insurance, because we cannot guarantee that a returned parcel reaches us.

When will I see my refund?
Once your return arrives we inspect it and email you to confirm whether the refund is approved. Approved refunds go back to the original payment method. Please allow two weeks for it to appear. If it has not arrived after two weeks, check with your bank or card issuer first, then email us.

Can I exchange something that is not faulty?
We replace items only if they are defective or damaged. Email us and we will send instructions.

It was a gift. What happens?
If the item was marked as a gift when it was bought and sent straight to you, you receive a gift credit for the value of the return. If it was not marked as a gift, or the giver had it sent to themselves to pass on, the refund goes to whoever bought it. In that case include both your email address and the giver's email address when you write to us.

Caring for your pieces

How do I wash it?
Each product page carries its own care instructions, and those take precedence over anything here. As a general guide:

• Cotton and Pima cotton. Machine wash at 40°C. Do not wring or twist, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, use a warm iron if needed, and keep away from fire.
• Pure linen. Machine wash in lukewarm water on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent.
• The hypoallergenic pillow insert. Wash in a commercial size front-loading machine, not one with an agitator, in cold water with a mild low-sudsing soap. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low until the filling is completely dry.
• Leather shoes. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Not suitable for machine washing.

Will the color be exactly as the photograph?
Close, but with leather the color and dye lot can differ slightly from pair to pair. That is part of its character.

Do you sell to shops?
