As Seen on Made in Chelsea: Sam & Alice’s Baby Shopping Trip to Blue Almonds


Made in Chelsea, viewers were treated to a heart-warming glimpse of Sam Vanderpump and fiancée Alice Yaxley preparing for parenthood — and we couldn’t be prouder that their journey brought them to Blue Almonds Baby Boutique in South Kensington.

From discovering newborn essentials to falling in love with some of our exclusive pieces, their visit captured everything that makes this stage of life so magical.

Inside Their Visit: What Sam & Alice Loved in Store

During the episode, Sam and Alice explored our boutique with genuine excitement — and a few memorable moments that fans will recognise:

“We’re not shopping anywhere else.”

Sam declared this within minutes of stepping inside. We’ll admit… we melted a little.

Baby’s First Brush — A Carousel Collection Favourite

Sam couldn’t stop marvelling at Theophile & Patachou Carrousel Collection baby brush, admiring its craftsmanship and the timeless, heirloom feel of the whole range.

Alice’s Winter Wardrobe Picks

Alice was instantly drawn to:

  • a blue winter snowsuit, and
  • a blue knitted coat,
     both perfect for stylish chilly days with their little one.


The Sleeping Bag Moment (which fans adored!)

One of the episode highlights was their reaction to our exclusive Madeleine Thompson x Blue Almonds cashmere hooded sleeping bag.

Sam even joked about wanting a “daddy-sized” version.
 (We agree — if only!)

Why They Chose Blue Almonds

During the episode, Sam and Alice also spoke about feeling more excited — and more prepared — as the pregnancy progressed. Blue Almonds is built exactly for moments like this:

  • A calm, beautifully curated space
  • Luxury babywear and keepsakes from Europe’s finest brands
  • Expert support from our boutique team
  • Exclusive collaborations you won’t find anywhere else


Their visit reflected what so many new parents tell us: when the world feels overwhelming, finding beautifully made essentials makes everything feel a little more real, and a lot more joyful.

A Note on Sam’s Work With NHS Blood & Transplant

While at Blue Almonds, Sam meets with Private PA, Iris, to discuss his upcoming Liver Transplant Awareness event. As an ambassador for the NHS Blood and Transplant Charity, he is using his platform to support vital work in organ donation and transplant awareness.

We admire his commitment to turning his personal health battle into a mission to help others. — and it was an honour to be a small part of such an important chapter in their journey into parenthood.
