Silhouettes, Cartography, Vines, Mini Skulls and Feathers...   Hi, It has been a while (infact a couple of months) since we released new woven wraps! Our stretchy wraps have kept us busy and we wanted to give you time to snap up our previous woven wrap releases. These new limited edition woven wraps will be available for sale on our web-shop from Saturday, the 27th of October, 2018. So enjoy some juicy info. about our new releases and we will add action photos before our actual release/sale date. 
 Mini SMP silhouette Lynne Pastel navy blue and green SMP 60% cotton, 30% lambswool, 10% linen Loomstate Sizes available for sale: Medium (2), Large(3), XL(3), XXL (4) Prices: Medium (£125), Large(£135), XL(£145), XXL (£155) Expertly woven in Yorkshire by our father and son team of traditional artisan weavers. This mini SMP silhouette Lynne is an offshoot of our SMP minis so you can safely call our SMP silhouette a sibling of our SMP mini. Our SMP Silhouette also features our new mini skull design. The SMP silhouette is thicker than our other SMP minis and it is woollier in texture compared to our previous minis. The mini SMP silhouette Lynne features an artistic silhouette of our SMP skulls in a minimalistic abstract fashion.  .Mini SMP silhouette Lysanne Pastel Purple and Turquoise SMP 60% cotton, 30% lambswool, 10% linen Very similar to the mini SMP silhouette Lynne so the information above also applies to the SMP Lysanne. Sizes available for sale: Small (1), Medium(1), XL(4), XXL (3) Prices: Small (£115), Medium (£125), XL(£145), XXL (£155)  Swirly vine woven wrap Grey and pastel navy blue Loomstate 50% combed cotton and 50% lambswool Sizes available for sale: Large(2), XXL(2) Prices: Large(£145), XXL (£155) The swirly vine woven wrap has the highest wool content in the history of our woven wraps so this is a unique wrap! This woolly goodness will remind you of the unique double layered texture of our original benevolence woven wrap. Very ‘smooshy’ to touch due to the pockets of air between its double weave. This wrap is perfect for carrying both babies and toddlers. This is a complete one-off design never to be re-woven similar to some of our highly sought after woven wraps.  Royal blue Dimana Feathers Blue feathers 70% cotton, 30% linen Sizes available for sale: XXL (2) Prices: XXL (£165) Overlapping royal blue feathers floating on top of our ombre multicolour (Cerise, golden yellow and rose gold) warp. This is first multicolour feathers. A sequel to our 2016/17 fluffy shade of feathers design. The Dimana feathers wrap is a re-creation of our original 2015 fluffy shade of feathers design. Here’s more about the inspiration behind our fluffy shade of feathers design: Inspired by a beautiful Alexander McQueen’s dress worn by FKA Twigs on the red carpet, we created the FLUFFY SHADES OF FEATHERS wrap design with our own personal twist on the iconic design. A close look at this design reveals the subtle layering of the feathers in a way that mirrors the natural arrangement of scales on a fish. Feathers are without doubt one of nature’s wonders, having evolved from scales, they can be found in birds around us. We admire how incredibly strong and flexible feathers are and the role they play in supporting the movement of various species. In birds, feathers aid both lift and forward movement. Therefore, adopting this theme of movement from feathers, our wrap features overlapping feathers created using a mix of two weaves, one weave is deliberately more textured than the other to improve the adaptability and movement that the wrap allows. For extra charm, the edges of the wrap have also been softened in order to support a more realistic feather-like feel. Our wrap design adopts a two colour shading technique, which adds rhythm and a calming contrast to the design. The contrast results in a well spaced out pattern across the wrap. Feather and scales are naturally protective covering for birds and fishes respectively and we love that our design encapsulates the protective and loving covering that parents wrap their children with. In this new design and the others, we love that we are able to utilize our wide scientific knowledge of zoology fused with our playful penchant for art to create wraps that truly celebrate the protective and caring characteristics of a mother.  Mini SMP Gemma Cerise, golden yellow and rose gold warp (background) Pastel black weft which translates to the fact that in this wrap, you will notice the mini skulls floating on top of our multicolored background. The colour arrangement of our warp is the first of its kind. 70% cotton, 30% linen Loomstate Sizes available for sale: XL (3) ,XXL (1) , Ring sling (4) Prices: Ring sling (£155), XL(£165), XXL (£175)  Mariana Cartostyle Carrot orange weft Multicolored warp 70% cotton, 30% linen Sizes available for sale: XL (1) ,XXL (2) , Ring sling (2) Prices: Ring sling (£155), XL(£165), XXL (£175) Loomstate Carrot orange colored cartography swirls floating on top of our multicolour black/yellow/cerise warp. The Mariana cartostyle is a sequel to our original cartostyle design. Here’s a bit more about our cartostyle design: Cartostyle is our cartography inspired design. We wanted to bring in unique and quirky designs from our nostalgic experiences in scientific studies which included geographical sciences. Geography isn't complete without the use of maps and we found the abstract and fluid look of contours very intriguing that you can stare at it for hours in wonder. You can even liken them to naturally occurring pattern in our palms etc. Contour lines are used in different aspects of cartography and you can see them on our weather maps and maps depicting topographical landscapes. We stretched the contours further to create this amazingly mesmerizing fluidity that impresses every artistic mind.

CLOSING DATE IS THE 22ND OCTOBER 2018 (Announcements will be made within a week or two, depending on the amount of applicants) Laurna, Bisi and Mayor x Being an ambassador has pushed me out my comfort zone and that has been a good thing. I have done lives, met new amazing people and advanced my learning about all things wraps. As a Sling Librarian, my experience as an Ambassador has been invaluable. As well as teaching me more about how wraps are produced, I’ve also learnt how to create effective social media posts! The wraps I’ve had have been fantastic to use for demos with clients in consultations and have helped me to introduce lots of them to Woven wraps. Working with the other ambassadors and having their support throughout the year has been awesome too, they’re so lovely! Be careful though, 4/7 of us got pregnant since we signed up! 😂 |
