This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating the incredible mums who are part of the Pink City Prints family. From those embracing the beautiful chaos of new motherhood to those guiding their teens through life’s many moments, we’re honouring the women who do it all with love, strength and style. As they share reflections from their own journeys, we want to take a moment to say thank you to every kind of mum. Your care, resilience and endless support never go unnoticed — today, we celebrate you.
Etta, Sonny & Rudy
Which piece from the Spring collection do you love and why?
I absolutely love the Provencal Perfume Ava Blouse. It’s the first piece I’ve worn since having my second baby that truly makes me feel like myself again. The shape is incredibly flattering, and the delicate hand-embroidery is simply stunning!
Describe motherhood in three words.
Endless love and chaos.
Your go-to outfit formula on a busy morning?
Something easy to throw on with quick access for breastfeeding.
The most chaotic-but-beautiful moment recently?
Bath time with a toddler and a baby — Sonny splashing everywhere while I make sure he’s safe, and baby Rudy crying for milk. Sonny is full of energy with zero chill, but when Rudy’s upset, he quiets down, pats his tummy, and says, “OK, bibi.”
A thing your child has said that you’ll never forget?
For his second birthday, I asked Sonny how old he’d be. He said he’d be “appy” (happy). I replied, “Will you be two?” He said, “No… appy.”
How has becoming a mum changed your personal style?
I stick to easy, throw-on outfits that make me feel good.
Favourite way to spend a slow afternoon together?
There are no slow afternoons, haha.
If you had an hour completely to yourself, how would you spend it?
Lying in bed, staring into space.
What do you hope your child remembers most about you?
My presence.
The most “mum” sentence you say daily?
“The baby hasn’t done a poo yet…”
Strangest thing currently living in your handbag?
I don’t use a handbag — just big pockets filled with nappies, wet wipes, and snacks.
Ever hidden in the bathroom for five minutes of peace?
That’s my partner’s job, haha.
Something you said you’d never do as a parent but now do regularly?
Bribery.
Mother’s Day: breakfast in bed (with crumbs) or solo coffee in silence?
A solo coffee in silence.

Which piece from the Spring collection do you love and why?
I’m obsessed with the Vintage Bouquet pieces and how versatile they are. I’ve chosen the Beau top and Sicily skirt, but I love that there are so many combos you can create with this print. For a statement look, I’ve gone head-to-toe in print and finished off with bold pink trainers. This outfit screams spring to me!
Describe motherhood in three words?
So. Much. Love!
What’s the most chaotic-but-beautiful moment you’ve had recently?
We were on the way to a toddler group and I decided to let my little girl take a little stroll beforehand (rookie error). She ran straight for the nearest puddle, immediately fell over and then happily sat splashing for the next fifteen minutes. By the time she was finished, her entire outfit was soaked. I forgot to bring a spare so she waltzed around the toddler group with no trousers on - and happy as can be!
How has becoming a mum changed your personal style?
My body has changed so much in the past two years and finding pieces that grow and change with me has been a gamechanger. I love smocked dresses as they’re stretchy throughout pregnancy, but can be worn afterwards too. I’ve also been reaching for lots of separates as they’re easy to throw on in a hurry.
If you had an hour completely to yourself, how would you spend it?
Watching Bridgerton, obviously!
What do you hope your child remembers most about you one day?
I’d love to pass on a little bit of my creativity. I want her to see the value in a work of art, find the joy in creating something new, and appreciating the beauty in this crazy world.
What’s something you said you’d never do as a parent… that you now do regularly?
Co-sleep! I was convinced baby would sleep happily in her crib on her own… more fool me. I love our nightly snuggles now and I know one day I’ll look back fondly.
Toni, Zachary, Atticus, Xanthe and Antimony
Which piece from the Spring collection do you love and why?
I’m loving the Provençal Perfume Alicia dress. It is exquisite. Made with the softest organic cotton and with intricate hand embroidered flowers, it is super comfy and perfect for sunny days. A piece I will truly treasure.
What’s the most chaotic-but-beautiful moment you’ve had recently?
Trying to leave the house before 7am. You would think it should be easy with young adults but it is most definitely not! The beautiful moment only comes when everyone has stopped bickering and we are finally cosied up in the car and on our way!
What’s something your child has said that you’ll never forget?
You’re not going out looking like that are you?
How has becoming a mum changed your personal style?
It is ever evolving. The kids all have strong opinions regarding what I should, or should not, be wearing so, I guess, I’m a work in progress!
What’s your favourite way to spend a slow afternoon together?
Sitting around the kitchen table enjoying a long, lazy lunch - no mobiles allowed.
What do you hope your child remembers most about you one day?
That I wasn’t as bad at karaoke as they thought!
What’s the most “mum” sentence that comes out of your mouth daily?
You need to wear a coat.
Have you ever hidden in the bathroom for five minutes of peace?
Haven’t we all?!
Jemima & Basil
Which piece from the Spring collection do you love and why?
I adore the beautiful Lavender Orchard print of the Alice dress, the combination of lavender, green and yellow is so uplifting, the happiest Spring colours. The ruffled scoop neck is really flattering, and the puff sleeves make it feel really elegant. I'll be styling it with brightly coloured trainers, the lavender orchard scrunchie and gold hoop earrings.
Describe motherhood in three words?
Fun, fraught, fabulous
What’s your go-to outfit formula on a busy morning?
It’s now going to be the Alice Dress! It's so comfortable and effortless, and I adore the uplifting, fresh Spring colours.
What’s something you said you’d never do as a parent… that you now do regularly?
So many things... snacks, telly, bribery!
Mother’s Day: breakfast in bed (with crumbs) or solo coffee in silence?
Without a doubt the latter!
