What We Do
At My Little Love Heart we offer a large selection of pre made gifts or alternatively you can build your own.
Once you place your order you will receive a confirmation order, and for corporations, a tax receipt.
We then handle all aspects of the gifting journey. Firstly, we arrange all the products in a gift box and have them beautifully gift wraped. We then hand write your message in the card and package it carefully. At this point we will organise to have it either delivered or posted.
You will then receive an email with an Australia Post tracking number or confirmation that we have delivered the gift.

The products chosen for our hampers are exceptional quality and have been hand selected. We also include a large number of our handmade items in the gift boxes that have been made in our East Perth store. While the finished gift sets are beautifully presented and include a hand written card.

Luisa Figueroa | Owner | Chief Designer
From a very early age, I was always into fashion, always dressing up in several outfits every day. However, it wasn’t until later in high school that I decided I would like to make a career out of it. After graduating high school I went on to study fashion design at Arturo Tejada Cano in Colombia, then onto Supdemod Fashion Design & Business School in Lyon, France. After four years in France, I moved to Perth, Australia and continued my studies at North Metropolitan TAFE where I studied interior design, continuing with my creative flair.
Perth is where I settled and met my now-husband Mark where we have our daughter Natalia. Early on in Natalia’s life, she developed reflux where she would have painful and large vomits after feeding. We found we were going through so many bibs and burp cloths yet couldn’t find any decent ones. This was the moment that I knew I had to make my own, and My Little Love Heart was born. I decided to combine my love for fashion with the need to have quality baby accessories and started making my own products.
The first products I developed were the drool bibs and even to this day, it remains my favourite. After extensive testing, I started making additional products for Natalia and her friends and soon found myself in markets and expos. I am passionate about bright and vibrant colours and I feel it should be celebrated amongst the styles our little ones are adorned in. Where I am from in Colombia, South America, we celebrate colours in all aspects of our culture and life. This along with a background in fashion design; complement my passion for new trends and styles.
I love to share my knowledge on anything baby-related. I have published many in-depth articles. I have also been published as an Author on Mamamia and been quoted in Prospa. I have found that tertiary education, both locally and abroad has brought me a wealth of knowledge. In addition to the technical experience, with over 15 years of practical and work-related experience, I have been able to apply this expertise and incorporate it into My Little Love Heart and the baby industry in general. It gives me great joy to be able to say that many of the products are handmade here in Perth, Australia.
More recently we opened our baby gifts shop in East Perth. Here I am able to make the products and have a place for my wonderful customers to come and see and touch the quality and selection of designs. We now specialise in baby gifts and our handmade range.
Thank you for spending the time to read about our journey.
