Mealtime Messes & Mally Bibs: The Original Leather Bib *Review & Giveaway!*

header-6

I cannot tell you how many bibs we have tried or even tried to find that were durable, that were cute and that .. well.. worked! I tried tie on bibs, but they weren’t doing anything for us; at all. I had the opportunity to check out a leather bib from Mally Bibs.

Mally Designs Ltd. began with a simple idea. In 2005, Nicole Garza, mother of two, designed a leather baby bib. Why leather? It’s durable, easy to clean, stain resistant, natural and safe material. Today the company is run by husband and wife team, Ron and Nicole Garza. Our leather bibs, known as mally bibs™ are now available in hundreds of stores around the world. We believe in supporting our own economy as much as we can. We manufacture in our own factory in Canada, where we employ talented seamstresses and crafts people.

Side one is dark pink with a light pink pocket:

Side two is light pink with a butterfly on it, flying away:

I had to add that second picture. She was shoving in cinnamon rolls :lol:

I have to say that not only is this precious, but the way it is made is beyond amazing. I love how easy it is to clean (simply run under water and let air dry). We even tried it with spaghetti. You know how hard things are to get clean from spaghetti, right? Mally bib was easy to clean, even after spaghetti.

Care instructions:

  • Simply wipe down with a cloth or rinse after each use and use a mild detergent when necessary.
  • Machine washing is not recommended.
  • Do not put a Mally Bib near electronic equipment as the strength of the magnets could interfere.

From a mom’s point of view:

  • Our Mally Bib is very cute and definitely does its’ job. Probably better than some bibs I have purchased locally.
  • At first, I thought the price is a bit steep, BUT after calculating how much I have spent on disposable pocket bibs (at least $5 a box) tie bibs that I have purchased and ended up hating or falling apart after just one use, and some canvas bibs that I have bought locally, this price is affordable and with it being made of leather, you know it will last a long time; if not the entire duration of your toddler’s ‘bib needs’.
  • I love that the ‘clasp’ is a magnet. At first, I thought ‘oh, boy.. this will come off faster than I can put it on!’, but that was not the case here. The magnet stayed on, even when Kam pulled it.
  • I love that the Mally bib is double sided. Two bibs in one!

Overall, highly recommended! Are you looking for a baby shower gift that will leave mom speechless? Check out http://mallybibs.com/

    I love the mod dots design in pink. My daughter is the messiest eater ever. when she is done with something she throws it on the floor or squishes it all around on her tray and then moves it all over while it falls on the floor she usually touches her hair so I always have to clean that out too.

    We are big fans of the Mally Bibs. After trying out hundreds, no thousands (I think I tried every one on the market) bibs with both sets of my twins I finally found my favorites and junked all the rest. I like that Mally bibs are totally waterproof, rinse to look like new, are really cute and fold small and very conveniently always located on my fridge. They’re my bib of choice when going out since their designs are so cute and they’re so easy to clean. My baby twins have the baby size bibs and really need the toddler ones (I just wish they didn’t cost so much). My baby son likes to smush every peice of food he finds and my daughter likes to feed her hair. Luckily their shirts stay clean with the Mally bibs. I like so many of them, it’s hard to choose. If I was buying them now for my twins I would get the sushi and bird but if I win one it would be a unisex carrots.

    I am torn between the Carrots and the Girrafe. Both are so cute. I plan on letting my soon to be little one to self feed (play with his/her food) when the time comes and I know that will lead to BIG messes but this bib would be great. I love the easy to clean and reusable aspect of it. Thanks.

    Can I first say I adore Kambry, love her name too. She makes me want to have another little girl!

    I really like the police car bib for my son, he is 20.5 months and loves to play pretend. usually it’s harmless pretending he is shampooing his hair or pretending to eat but when he is in his highchair it’s not so pretend. He LOVED to “shampoo” food into his hair. Not always but sometimes he can’t fight the urge. Now I know the bib can’t help me in that dept. but atleast he will look adorable with it on, lol.

    Oh forgot to tell you about my messy eater.. and how I want to win this… Well, MY messy eater is my little daughter.. who, by the way is 18.. YEARS OLD!! As a baby she was a GEM, didn’t spill a crumb, and was neat as a little princess! ahhhhh so cute and pristine!!

    NOW, YE GADS! Eating a meal with her would turn your stomach! She can burp louder than ANY sailor and F*rt the alphabet to Yankee Doodle Dandy on Command! She chews with her mouth wide open, reaches across the table, DIGS into the food BEFORE we pray and is a REAL JOY to eat with. I have begun eating with EAR PLUGS and an eye mask just to keep from GAGGING! You would think she was raised by Ferrell Wolves in the outter Reaches of ALASKA, but no, she was raised in THIS loving home, but went away for 1 short year to college and THIS is what she LEARNED!
    GOD BLESS HIGHER Education!!!!

    Oh, I Want to win this Bib for someone I know who is having a baby..
    see what happens when ya get me started!!!

    Carrots – Bib That is for the Little Vegetarian!!! How cute is this? I just love it!
    (I don’t usually do Leather, but this NOT for me, obviously since I am 47 and my baby factory was shut down by the board of health years ago!!!)

    I think this is economical and in the long run DOES save money because how many cloth bibs do you go through.. they just get so “ratty’!

    yeah, I love this!
    2 thumbs up for Mally bibs!!!
