Welcoming Gooseberry Fool to The House of Blue Almonds
We are delighted to welcome Gooseberry Fool as the first resident brand at The House of Blue Almonds. Throughout October and November, our Walton Street boutique will showcase their exquisite organic baby clothing — available exclusively in-store.
Why Gooseberry Fool?
When we launched The House of Blue Almonds, our aim was to find and support brands that share our passion for beauty, integrity, and care. Gooseberry Fool embodies these values wholeheartedly. Founder Rachel has grown the label slowly and thoughtfully, always keeping kindness, fairness, and sustainability at its core.
Like Blue Almonds, Gooseberry Fool believes that what we choose for our children should be both meaningful and enduring. Their heirloom-quality babywear is made to be cherished, passed down, and loved again — not only creating memories but also shaping a more sustainable future.
A Founder With Kindness at Her Core
Rachel was born and raised with the values of kindness, fairness, and equality — principles that she has carried through both motherhood and business. As a mother herself, she wanted to create a brand that honoured children while also respecting the people and planet that sustain us. Gooseberry Fool is her vision brought to life: a brand where every piece of clothing tells a story of empowerment, care, and lasting value.
Handmade With Kindness
Each Gooseberry Fool piece is crafted by women in rural Indian communities, using GOTS-certified organic cotton, natural fibres such as Eri silk, and traditional crochet techniques that can never be replicated by machine. Every item is unique, and every purchase directly supports the artisans who make them.
Rachel describes Gooseberry Fool as a brand with kindness at its core:
- Kindness to the planet through sustainable fibres, slow production and reduced carbon emissions.
- Kindness to people with fair pay, empowerment, and respect for the women behind every garment.
- Kindness in community, donating a portion of sales to the Community Seva Centre, which supports vulnerable mothers and babies.
A Circular Vision
Gooseberry Fool is also committed to circularity. Their pre-loved scheme encourages families to pass on pieces once they are no longer needed, helping clothes live new lives instead of being stored away or discarded. As a founding partner of the Clothes Together initiative — alongside other leading organic brands — Gooseberry Fool supports families in need with high-quality clothing while reducing waste and encouraging a culture of sharing.
