Hi, I’m Jo Leggiero
about me

Hi, I’m Jo Leggiero

Hi, I’m Jo Leggiero, founder of Mother Dragon. Thanks for visiting my store. Whether you are shopping for yourself (congratulations!) or someone else, I hope my curated collection of preloved maternity clothes gives you the opportunity to rewear and recycle a range of quality secondhand maternity clothes. Most importantly, I hope shopping at Mother Dragon gives confidence and comfort as you style yourself during your pregnancy. There is nothing more fierce than a woman who loves what she is wearing, and that should be no different when you are maternity fashion. Jo @ Mother Dragon
