Jumbo and Friends Upper street
Jumbo and Friends was founded in 2013 by Esther, after she fell pregnant and began to search for a cot for her son’s bedroom.

Her series of cots (Jumbo and his friends) are all custom made using high-quality wood and responsibly sourced materials. This week, Esther’s launching her first shop in Islington, so make sure you check it out.
