Ready for new memories to be made by little sisters and brothers.
Newbie was born in Gothenburg, Sweden in 2010 and has quickly grown thanks to our community of ‘Newbie Lovers’: mums, dads, grandparents and friends who have helped to shape who we are today and to spread the Newbie word far and wide.
The popularity of Newbie and huge demand for the products led to the opening of our first standalone store in Stockholm in 2014. Today, we have 25 stores across Europe, including in UK, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Poland.
