From the Founders

Born Romantic Founder's Edit

Fall in love with Born Romantic. Join us as we share the inspiration behind the Born Romantic Collection, discover the pieces that are setting the mood for winter, and hear from Kip&Co founders Kate, Hayley, and Alex as they share their personal favourites from this romantic collection. 

Inspired by crisp weekends spent in cosy cottage gardens, around warm fires, and with home-cooked meals shared with loved ones, Born Romantic brings a sense of comfort and intimacy to every corner of the home.



Which print has your heart this season, and how would you style it throughout the home? 

"Sunday Stroll. I don’t usually lean towards such feminine designs, but this one has completely won me over. It feels so fresh and beautiful on my bed. I’ve styled it with a few of the Velvet Pea Cushions. Always a winter fave." - Kate




Describe the Born Romantic collection in three words. 

"Sweet, sugary, love." - Alex


What’s your favourite bedding combination from the Born Romantic collection?

"Oooo so many gorgeous combinations to choose from. My bed is about to get decked out in Rose Water Stripe Linen from head to toe. It is cool and relaxed but with plenty of style and it also goes back beautifully with some of my pieces from last season." - Hayley




What was the most inspiring part of bringing this romantic vision to life?

"Spending time in WA last year was such a creative spark for us. The colours, the landscapes, and the relaxed coastal vibe over there really shaped this sweet collection. It was impossible not to be inspired!" - Kate 


What’s your favourite print this season? What’s the inspiration behind it? 

"Ray Of Light for sure. Madonna’s song of the same name hits play in my head every time I see it and the warm butterscotch tones are exactly what I need to ease me into Autumn." - Alex 




When it comes to first-time purchases, what’s the one Born Romantic piece that every home should have?

"A Strawberry Vase! Add some fun. It is gorgeous with flowers in it but also such a stand out piece on its own on the shelf." - Hayley




As we cosy up for winter, what is the one essential piece from the collection that you can’t live without? 

"When winter kicks in, I’ll be living in our Sherpa Bedtime Sweaters and Cosy Robe. Honestly, I’m (almost) wishing for the cold to arrive just so I can snuggle up on the couch in that robe—it’s unbeatable! Trust me, get one. No regrets!"  - Kate




What are your top 3 must-have products for little ones from this season? 

"Funny you should ask as I just sat down with Quincy and Pearl to get their wish list. So, straight from the horses mouth, their must haves are the Starlight Quilt, everything in the Just Desserts Print (squeals of delight over that one!), and all the long sleeved nighties - they are obsessed with these!" - Alex 



Where’s your ultimate winter getaway? Where do you go to unwind and relax with the family? 

"We are all obsessed with Tassie. Each winter we head down for a few days and unwind with cold water swims, saunas, fresh air and loads of oysters. We enjoy the tranquility and solitude it offers, wind howling, fire going and cooking over the open fire." - Hayley


Can you describe your winter wellness routine? 

"My absolute non-negotiable is an ocean dip every morning—it’s the best reset, even in the depths of winter. After that, it’s all about staying warm, getting good sleep, and eating hearty, nourishing food. Lots of soups in Kip bowls, of course! Our new large eye masks have been a game-changer for winding down, and nothing beats fresh, clean bedding for the perfect night’s sleep." - Kate




What is one piece everyone must have in their home this winter? 

"I say it every winter but if you are not snuggling into velvet bedding this is your sign to embrace the textural dream that is velvet - you will never go back! I’m personally giddy about the new quilted velvet, heaven!" - Alex 



Must have colour-combo of the season and why? 

"It has to be warm mustard and pecan tones back with popping pink. Yum!" - Hayley
