Bugaboo auction to fight HIV & AIDS

Help Bugaboo fight HIV / AIDS

In only two years Bugaboo, (one of our favourite buggy brands) have provided help and treatment to an amazing  70,000 HIV+ pregnant women in Africa.

Now with the auction of a very special Bugaboo edition you can help too!

Bugaboo have collaborated with British designer,  artist and new mum Zakee Shariff and between October 25-31^st the very exclusive buggy will be auctioned on ebay, with all of the proceeds going to help HIV/ AIDS programmes in Africa.

If you’re interested in exploring Zakee’s amazingly diverse work check out her blog here – I came across an interesting quote that seems to sum up the purpose of her work,

“ to touch people through her work and spread a message of peace and love, hopefully encouraging people to think more deeply about the world they live in”

I don’t think Born could have encapsulated what we’re about any better!

How to spot a counterfeit seller as opposed to a genuine second hand seller

1. Most people who have bought counterfeits have done so from the leading auction site (you know the one!) or from smaller ones that also have local sites.


2. They are being sold as a new boxed unwanted gifts or because their child did not get on with the carrier.


3. Online counterfeit sellers often have more than one carrier to sell. That should send alarm bells as no one selling a genuine one will have more than one to sell.
