Introducing the SMP Mini

' Guess what? We have a giveaway for you further down this blog post! Enjoy x '

You've seen this happen to our beautiful feathers pattern and connected. These two designs have undergone some sort of textile makeover. Its 2018 and we think it is the SMP's turn for its own makeover. How did we decide on the SMP?
​Last year at a Scottish babywearing event, we had an interesting conversation with a creative mum who is now one of our brand ambassadors and she asked if we have ever considered weaving our popular SMP pattern on a smaller scale in terms of the size of the skulls.

We've have had this in mind for a while so when this lovely mum chatted with us about this; we knew it was time for us to creatively disrupt the SMP pattern haha! That opportunity came when we started planning to weave our custom blankets / throws. We started by tweaking the design and the size of each of the skulls was reduced. The pattern repeat was also altered as well. The idea of reducing the skull size is to give a whole new outlook to the beloved SMP design. When you wear a typical SMP wrap, approx. two or three skulls can fill up a chest pass so with our reduced skull pattern, you get more skulls within a certain area of your wrap. The whole idea is that you can immediately tell that it is an SMP wrap from the first glance.

As with any textile design and weaving experimentation, there is a risk that the result might not be exactly as anticipated. However, on this occasion, we screamed with delight the first time we saw the SMP mini on the weaving loom. Our initial SMP mini appeared slightly abstract (SMP mini silhouette) so we decided to utilize our 2014 double weave which is famous for its bold and sharp outline. Our bold SMPs are the sort of wraps that never age, they never fade and they simply get better with age like fine wine. That’s the sort of vibe that we’ve infused into our latest SMP minis.

Did we hear you ask for the abstract SMPs (named SMP mini silhouette)? Lets take this one at a time! We will release those after the 5 SMP minis have been released. Please note that because the SMP mini is a completely new concept , we wove a super limited number so we only have two wraps for each colourway.

Jet black and natural undyed cream (Dudu)
Navy blue and natural undyed cream (Azul)
