The company specialised in selling a range of Scandinavian inspired handcrafted toys online. However, Charley has taken to the social media platform to reveal they have had to close the business.

She said: "@nordi_babi is closing. I’ve loved this chapter and the journey it’s taken us on but we just don’t have the time to run it the way we want to. I love everything Scandi so this has been a dream."
