Jennifer was a very young girl when she started the Bellini Parmus store NJ, back in the 80's, I vividly remember the first set we were due to deliver to her, yet at the time we were so new and so overwhelmed with orders and so little capacity, but she waited for it for ever the poor girl. 1000 sets later we designed many sets and her Baby girl was the star of my front cover catalog back in 1997 and now here she is on my best seller "love is in the air" twin set. We just celebrated Her girl's Bat-mizvha. I will be very interested to find out what will she be writing about from 20 years knowledge of Nava's designs, all her kids had my baby bedding & she her self had my bedding for her own. so lets wait and see....

My name is Jennifer Freedberg-Berkoff I opened the Bellini store in Paramus, NJ with my former husband David Freedberg in June of 1989. I was 20 years old when I started in the baby business. One of the first vendors I came in contact with was Nava's Designs. I met Nava as soon as I started in Bellini and fell in love with her linens from the first time I laid eyes on them. Our personalities clicked and we started designing linens together for my store. I remember sitting on the floor with fabric swatches spread all over the place and putting pieces together to form some of the most successful bedding sets ever created. I was truly in awe of how talented Nava was. As my business grew we did more and more sets together. Nava was our exclusive custom linen company. I remember designing the first black and white set back when you never put a baby in black. Somehow Nava tied it all together and the client was thrilled. The set truly came out beautiful. Nava is always on the cutting edge always the first to try new things. I believe she is one of the leaders in this industry. When I had my 3 children Nava made the most beautiful linens for my babies. My daughter Sydney was on the cover of her 1997 catolog and has had several sets named for her. In 2005 Sydney and Nava met to create a full size bedding set for her room which she still has on her bed today. She once again posed for her catolog on the exact bedding she has. The beauty of Nava's linens are that they are not only the finest quality fabrics and design but they are keepsakes. Something you would save as you would a christening gown. I am proud to have learned so much from Nava and have had the priviiladge of working with her for over 20 years. I would recommend her linens to any new mother.
