About
Hi! I am Gisela Zoutendyk the proud mom of the most amazing two kids (I think I am entitled to be a bit bias hahaha) and a qualified Montessori teacher. I am married to a superhero man who puts up with all my ideas and craziness. I know he always has my back! Love you Ryan!
I came across the Montessori method while studying Industrial design in Mexico. The simplicity and functionality behind the Montessori apparatus immediately caught my attention, and that was it. I was hooked!
That is why when Lola, our daughter, came to our lives I wanted to make something special to welcome her into the world. I started to make different products weaving my passion for early childhood development and my love for design. That is how Oh Lola BABY was born.

What we do
Oh Lola BABY is a proudly South African company dedicated to design minimalistic, beautiful and functional products to help stimulate and support your baby’s natural development from day 1. We commit to only using quality natural materials to create an ultimate sensorial experience. It is never too early to learn!
Our products are ideal for the parent on the go allowing your baby to follow their natural development wherever they go. Simplifying parenthood is one of our main goals. Let us hold your hand through this amazing experience and enjoy discovering the world again through your little one’s eyes.
We got your back!
We care
We endeavour to keep our business and network local, enhancing lives and small businesses within our community.
In doing this we have empowered a great team of talented ladies and gents that have become like an extension of our Oh Lola family. They find the most creative solutions for our ideas.
We also focus on giving moms purpose, identity, independence and respect in a fun, creative working environment as a vital part of Oh Lola’s work ethic.
Oh Lola, BABY commits to as little waste of fabric as possible. That is why we have teamed up with other companies to donate our off cuts to make dogs beds as well as eco bricks.
We are currently working with a local organisation where they are using our off cuts to teach women in our community to sew and gain new skills.
