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

Nobody needs 200 maternity pieces.

Most of us are trying to find something comfortable that matches our style, our mood, and the body we have right now

So keep it simple.

A small collection of preloved pieces, chosen carefully, described honestly and ready for new life.

That's what Mother Dragon is about.

Some days during pregnancy, getting dressed feels easy. Some days nothing feels right.

Dressing for the body you have now and finding pieces that are comfortable, practical and still feel like you matters more than people realise.

Denim and I haven’t always been on the same page. For a long time it was black jeans or nothing. If it didn’t feel right, I assumed it was my body that was the problem.

What I’ve learned (and what I wish I knew sooner) is that denim is never just one thing. It behaves differently depending on how it’s made and that changes everything.

Some denim has stretch, which gives you that bit of give when your body is changing or growing.
Some is more rigid, which holds its shape but doesn’t always move with you.

Some is lightweight and soft, draping easily over the body.
Others are heavier and more structured, sitting away from you and creating shape.

And then there’s fit. Straight, relaxed, skinny, barrel. Not better or worse, just different ways of sitting on a changing body.

That’s why I love pieces like this.
Easy and no overthinking. The kind of thing you can put on and feel like yourself in, whatever stage you’re at.

There’s a reason denim never really leaves us.
You just have to find the version that works for you. 

What's your relationship like with denim right now?

I was twinning with my mannequin today in my denim dungarees and realised I have a denim pinafore as well. I lived in both pieces post partum and wouldn't be without them in my wardrobe.
Tell me which do you prefer, denim dungarees or a denim pinafore?
