I first discovered MamaSans Maternity Apparel when doing a pinterest search for Punky Moms, which led me to their etsy store and later their website. I thought their items would be perfect for our members and members-to-be so I contacted the owner Pattie and asked her a few questions about her company.

Punkymoms: What inspired you to start the company?
Pattie: When I was pregnant with my son, I just couldn’t find any maternity clothing that fit my style! Over sized dresses and tops were only working for so long….
