Hi, I'm Maria, the inspiration behind Bumps Maternity Wear. In 1994, when I was pregnant with our first child I realised just how difficult it was to buy fashionable maternity wear.
As a busy ‘mum to be’ my maternity wear requirements varied: I needed to retain my smart professional image at work, casual and smarter clothes for day to day and evening wear and of course good old ‘comfort clothes’ for cosy evenings in front of the TV! One further requirement - of course I didn’t want to spend a fortune!
The business seed was sown, my destiny lay before me and my mission: to save pregnant women from a life of tracksuit bottoms and baggy T shirts.
The idea lay dormant until I was faced with the same retail dilemma in 1996, when my son Rhys came along. Soon after this Bumps Maternity Wear was born. Having worked within IT I discovered the miracle of the Web and I realised how I could make Bumps Maternity Wear available to all - let’s face it, I wanted to save pregnant women all over the globe and not just in the North East of England.
Bumps Maternity Wear provides easy and accessible Internet shopping, or for those in the locality, there is a Bumps Maternity Wear shop in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear. We supply top quality, stylish and comfortable maternity clothes, catering for all shapes and sizes: including small, tall and plus sizes, enabling you to enjoy and make the most of your bump!
When I changed shape for a third time with my daughter Caitlin, in 2002, this time I changed shape with style.
Rhys and Caitlin are now 10 and 4 years old.
Enjoy being pregnant and enjoy shopping at Bumps Maternity Wear!
