Please scroll further down to enjoy our new action photos by Simon Jolly photography and you will also find the dates of our 'draw to buy' below. It has been a few months now since we released our new and affordable benevolence allure woven wraps and ring slings. Before our benevolence allure was our mini skulls collection which were part of our high end collection. Lots of our customers have been asking for more mini skulls wraps so we've been working on these simultaneously with our SMP bamboo stretchy. This collection should be our last woven wrap release before the big summer holiday!  When we released our first mini skull collection earlier this year, we were pleased to see that you all loved the wraps within that collection. Our mini skulls were borne out of the need to creatively experiment with the design scale of the skulls within our SMP design. Our mini skulls were part of our limited edition slings so we are certainly not replicating the exact colourways that we previously released as yet. We have now come up with another set of mini skulls in newer colourways. As you can see from our photos, we also played with our maxi roses and winged dreams. We now have mini-roses and mini-winged dreams respectively. Perhaps 2018 is the year of the mini designs! Well, let’s not conclude as yet because we still have approximately 6 months to go for 2018. Our new collection has all the unique qualities of our original double weave that you all loved. They are bold, well outlined, super strong, thick 'workhorse' sort of wraps for experienced babywearers. However, like many of you tell us, our wraps soften up or should we say break in really nicely especially when you actually wear them. The heavy weights in this special collection are great for carrying bigger babies and when they’re fully broken in, they’ll be malleable enough for carrying smaller babies. Our woven wraps are built to last and are best enjoyed when they are worn a lot more often. If you’re completely new to our original weaves, please join our closed group on Facebook and check our previous posts where some of our antique, original weaves were showcased. Our original weaves are more than 'half a decade' old and when you see most of these wraps today, they still look as good as new. That’s because of the unique quality of our weave structures and weaving style. Please note that wraps in this collection as with our previous high end wraps will be presented with our white magnetic closure gift boxes so this is your perfect gift item!  Without further ado, please meet our 'mini but mighty' woven wrap collection:
MEGAN WINGED DREAMS Megan winged dream is our first winged dream woven wrap for 2018. If we simply call this design a butterfly design, this can be a disservice to the intricate details woven into this design. Well, we wove some winged dream designs last year and since then, we’ve been looking forward to trying our hands on new colours for this design. The inspiration for the winged dream design came from a day when Bisi (Joy and Joe founder) got lost in meditation about the beauty of transformation. She was at the reception area in Joy's school and a quote on school wall got her thinking deeply. She can remember that feeling of elation whenever she looks into the future knowing that children especially those who have had very difficult beginnings will hopefully one day outgrow their difficulties no matter how long it takes. Metamorphism can be slow but the beauty therein ought to celebrated. In this design, you will see a rose flower metamorphosing into a butterfly in a very gentle, quirky and impressive artistic interpretation of this well known scientific concept of metamorphosis.

 FRANCESCA MINI ROSES  You’ve seen the maxi-roses so now it is time for you to enjoy the mini roses. We thought that it’ll be nice to tweak the design a little bit to creatively align with our mini skulls. Our maxi-roses wraps have this grand, elegant and artistically abstract floral appearance and we promise you that our mini roses will not disappoint either. With the maxi-roses, the rose petals are huge and somewhat artistically abstract but with our mini roses, you can easily see that the design layout is that of a rose flower viewed from the top. If you have any eye for art, you will appreciate the regal nature of this floral pattern.  Deets:

 INVERNESS MINI SKULLS The Inverness mini skull is our very first multi-colour mini SMP and no, it is not a rainbow! (Watch this space! You just never know, a rainbow SMP might well be in the horizon). Do you know the reason for the name Inverness? One of our biggest SMP fans resides there. You can guess her name! 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. For comparison between our original SMP design and our SMP mini, please click here.  Deets:

 SCOTT MINI SKULLS Our Scott mini skull is our 2018 ambassador exclusive and a sibling to our Inverness and Sofia mini skull. The main thing that differentiates the Scott mini from the Inverness mini is the colourway.  Deets:

 SOFIA MINI SKULLS The Sofia mini SMP is the last but certainly not the least in this exquisite mini family. The design information under the Inverness SMP also applies to the sofa mini skulls.  Deets:
