Tailor-made for You and Your Baby

We put a lot of heart into crafting products that simplify and blend into your daily routine. Our goal is to create reliable parenthood essentials that last and you can pass down to your loved ones. That’s why our fabrics are all about being super soft yet tough enough to handle whatever life throws their way—from diaper leaks and baby drool to harsh sunlight and sticky humidity.

 

Life with little ones is sometimes a messy affair. That's why all our fabrics are a breeze to clean—just toss them in the wash and they’ll dry in no time, keeping their shape and color intact. Most importantly, they're gentle on your little one’s delicate skin, free from any harmful levels of substances. And they have that premium feel to them, making sure our products look and feel like something you’d be proud to own.

Safety First

No Harmful Levels of Substances

Safety First - No Harmful Levels of Substances

We genuinely value the well-being of the babies using our products. This is why we've chosen to certify our materials under either Oeko-Tex ®  Standard 100, Class 1, or bluesign® Grade A – for products designed for babies and close-to-skin contact. This means that they’re kind to your baby’s skin and safe to taste. These certifications set exceptionally high bars to ensure that no harmful levels of chemicals find their way into products meant for your little ones.

 

Our commitment doesn't stop there. We work exclusively with textile suppliers who meet these stringent requirements. Before our products ever reach your hands, they go through rigorous testing at an external lab, guaranteeing the safety and quality of our materials. Nothing that falls short of these standards can ever find its way into our products. Your safety and peace of mind are paramount to us.

Design Meets Engineering Excellence

CRAFTED WITH CARE

Design Meets Engineering Excellence

When we make our products, durability is crucial. We aim high to ensure they're safe and top-quality and can handle whatever life throws at them because we know you need that reliability. And it all starts with the fabric development.

 

We design all our fabrics in-house. It’s a journey of constantly refining our existing fabrics and introducing new ones to make sure you and your little one have the best experience.

Let us introduce Louise, our textile engineer

Let us introduce Louise, our textile engineer. She’s a key player in our fabric development process. She’s the one who sets all the requirements and then collaborates closely with our experienced and skilled textile suppliers to ensure top-notch quality and nail down those unique features.

 

“Our products end up in the hands of parents all over the globe and deal with different climates and needs. So, I must think ahead about how our materials can fit all those different needs. To do this right, I need a solid understanding of materials, plus a passion for design and innovation.”

The product development and design team

 

Once my colleagues in the product development and design team have decided on a product's features and look, my work begins. I dig into fiber compositions and textile constructions to get the desired appearance and functionalities. And once I find that perfect combination, rigorous testing and tweaking follow.

 

“Our standards for fabrics are sky-high. Every new idea undergoes a lot of refining or even starts over from scratch to make it just right for you and your little one.”

Words from the Textile Engineer

Talking about tests, our fabrics go through a lot—both in our own labs and at accredited external labs. We've got a whole list of technical requirements that need to be met. This list was formed from years of learning and keeping up on the latest legal and safety standards.

That's why we run extensive safety and quality tests, checking for abrasion and pilling resistance, color fastness, wash cycles, and a bunch of other things. We even get feedback from real families.

 

“We're always tweaking to make sure the final product meets our tough technical standards and is just perfect for the long haul.”
