Vanessa Bell is the founder of Vanessa Bell baby blankets, bespoke 100 Australian Merino Wool baby blankets, knitted with care over 3 months by an expert team of hand knitters. Vanessa's blankets are one-off pieces that have been sold all over the world.

Vanessa didn't grow up on a Merino farm, in fact she came to love wool as a catwalk model at age 15. She's a wool farmer now, but Ness is a great example of the passion, pride and ingenuity that can happen when fresh eyes are cast on an age-old industry. In the future, she's determined to bring wool scouring back to Australia and to knit blankets using Merino wool from her own flock, in order to discover a true farmer to fashion product.
