A Journey of Passion and Innovation
Toks' story is one of determination and vision. After relocating to the UK due to the 2008 financial crisis, she identified a significant gap in the market for luxury baby furniture. This insight led to the birth of The Baby Cot Shop, a brand that would redefine expectations for nursery design and baby furnishings. From its beginnings online, The Baby Cot Shop has blossomed into a beacon of style and quality in the heart of Chelsea, London. Our King's Road showroom has become the No. 1 destination for parents seeking to create truly exceptional spaces for their little ones.

The Baby Cot Shop's creations have graced the nurseries of some of the most prestigious homes across the UK and beyond, earning recognition in publications such as Vogue and Hello!, and cementing our position as a leader in high-end nursery design.
