Hong Kong-based label Curves Couture has created the perfect accessory for stylish mothers-to-be. Inspired by the Japanese obi, Maman-obi belts are crafted from satin and add a dose of colour to a simple ensemble while also providing the pregnant woman with a little stomach support. The belts are available in either solid shades (far left) or in two-tone options (left) for something more daring. There are many ways to tie the sashes and customers can experiment to find a look that suits them - look for examples on the label's website, www.curvescouture.com. The belt (HK$498) is available at all Bumps to Babes boutiques, including the one at 5/F, Pedder Building, Pedder Street, Central, tel: 2522 7112, or online at www.sonovaso.com.
