Sneaker Fatigue & The Samba Mary Jane: Why I’m Waiting for Preloved

August 17, 2025

If you’re even mildly interested in fashion or sneakers, chances are you’ve seen the new Adidas Samba Mary Jane making waves. It’s a sleek reinterpretation of the classic Samba, feminine and sporty. Think classic three-stripes, gum sole, but with a Mary Jane-style velcro strap that gives it a fresh look. It’s a great shoe. But […]

Hi, I’m Jo Leggiero, founder of Mother Dragon.

I'm an Australian/Italian and I've been calling Dublin home for the past fifteen years. I love fashion and the power it has to make you feel incredible. Give me lipstick, coffee, good food, time with my two little fire crackers, Lucille and Remy and time with my family and friends and you have me sorted. It has been such an incredible journey, like pregnancy, seeing Mother Dragon being born and I'm so glad you have come to visit.

Jo

What have you got your eye on at the moment mamas? Have you seen this Seraphine oversized boxy style knit?
It features a thick navy and white stripe with a dash of red on the hem and cuff. The long sleeves and side poppers allow for easy breastfeeding access. Whether you style it with leggings, a relaxed pair of jeans or throw it on over a dress, it screams comfort and will last through all stages of motherhood.

Christmas looks a little different for me this year, Melbourne, sunshine and time with my family. 
I know this season can be complex for some, so however you spend it, I hope it brings you peace, rest and good health. Jo xo

Not sure what to buy for a mama-to-be or someone who’s breastfeeding? Sometimes the kindest thing is letting them choose what feels right for their body, exactly where they are in motherhood.

From growing bumps to feeding days and everything in between, my preloved maternity and breastfeeding clothing is carefully chosen to offer style, comfort and choice, all while being sustainably conscious.

You can add a personal note and choose when it lands in their inbox, so it arrives at just the right moment.

A small way to shop more thoughtfully, support local, and care for the fierce mama in your life.

Time for another This or That 🤰🏽♻️🌧️🤱🏼
Which one are you picking? The black puffer coat or the animal print?
Both pieces are functional, stylish and such great value. Honestly, coats are one of the best preloved pieces you can buy ♻️
