Cashing in on the new arrival of Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s first child, Blue Ivy, a fashion designer has applied to make ‘Blue Ivy Carter NYC’ a trademark name.
The New York designer Joseph Mbeh filed an application with a US Patent and Trademark Office just four days after the little girl was born.
In an attempt to place a line of children’s clothes under the name, the application, which cost Mbeh just $25, was successful. It was unknown at the time that’ Blue Ivy Carter NYC’ was filed without the consent of the infant’s famous parents.
The New York designer, who also owns another fashion label, FourFront, has made a collection of mock up photos of girls in clothing with tags bearing Blue Ivy Carter NYC on them.
Designer children’s clothes for new-borns
Whilst you might not have the former Destiny’s Child cash flow or would like to set up a label yourself, you can still find some great gifts for new-borns.
We love these bootylicious baby booties from My 1st Years. The leather sheepskin booties will keep new feet feeling fresh and comfortable.
They can also be personalised with delicate threading around the ankle. The £25 baby boots, suitable for 3-6 month year olds, are a particular favourite of Elton John and David Furnish. They are available in both pink and blue.
If you’re not crazy in love with fancy footwear, maybe these solid silver little acorns would make the ideal gift for a new-born. They too can be personalised, making a great Christening memento or just celebrating the new arrival. The keepsake gift can be attached to a leather cord, pink/blue ribbon or silver chain. The little acorns from Marie Walshe Jewellery will set you back around £55 approximately.
