Our Materials
& Care

Thoughtfully Chosen. Gently Made.

Every fibre we use is selected for its natural gentleness on baby skin — hypoallergenic, temperature-regulating, and built to last through years of love.

Mulberry Silk Crib Sheets · Pillowcases
Mulberry Silk

Our silk crib sheets and toddler pillowcases provide a soft, breathable surface that supports your baby's largest organ — the skin. Naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, silk doesn't absorb face creams or natural oils like other fabrics, helping maintain skin health by keeping it hydrated and calm. Its smooth texture reduces friction, which may help minimize infant hair loss and promote longer, more restful sleep.

Baby Cashmere

Cashmere is an ideal fibre for babies, offering exceptional softness that is kind to sensitive skin. Hypoallergenic and free of lanolin, it helps reduce the risk of irritation and supports overall skin health. With unique thermal properties — including low conductivity and diffusivity — cashmere maintains a stable, cosy temperature without overheating. Lightweight yet insulating, and highly breathable, it helps keep skin hydrated and ensures year-round comfort. Resistant to odours and bacteria, it stays fresher longer while providing lasting quality and delicate care.

Royal Alpaca Sleep Sacks · Blankets
Royal Alpaca

Like cashmere, alpaca is naturally hypoallergenic and highly effective at regulating body temperature. Its hollow fibre structure forms tiny air pockets that deliver superior insulation — about 20% warmer than Merino wool — while remaining lightweight and breathable. This balance keeps babies warm in winter, cool in summer, and comfortable across all seasons. By maintaining a stable thermal environment, alpaca helps babies conserve energy that supports healthy growth, steady breathing, and restful sleep.

Organic Pima Cotton Zip Rompers · Sleep Sacks · Blankets
Organic Pima Cotton

Organic Pima cotton stands apart for its extra-long staple fibres, which produce a fabric that is exceptionally smooth, soft, and strong. This means less friction against your baby's sensitive skin and fewer chances of irritation. Unlike conventional cotton, which can feel coarse or break down over time, Pima stays luxuriously soft wash after wash — making it ideal for everyday use on the most delicate skin. Grown without harmful pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, or harsh chemical treatments, it protects the environment, farming communities, and your baby.
