Trowen Steel City was designed to be our exclusive for The Northern Sling Exhibition in Rhys' birthplace and our current home-town of Sheffield. However there was a bit of a delay on getting the fabric, so instead, though it will be launched at the event, we have not had the time to finish all the wraps so there will definitely be a second release next week!
We had a fantastic time at the NSE, it was great to meet so many of you in person! As promised, we'll be selling the rest of our Trowen Steel City wraps and ring slings. Bit short notice, but they will be on sale in our website shop tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon at 1pm BST.
We received a lovely comment from somebody at the event that the colours in the pattern reminded them of molten steel being poured into Trowen shaped moulds, cooling in different places. We thought this was very poetic and created lovely imagery for us.
Unfortunately we haven't had the chance to get any more in-situ shots, but here are a couple of fabric photos for your perusal.
Fabric details: 100% combed cotton, 267gsm. Plush weave.
Like a sandy bay hugs the sea, our woven wraps and slings are designed for you to carry your baby safely and snugly. We work with our local weavers in Yorkshire, England to create soft and strong natural fabrics perfect for baby-wearing.
As a family of artists it is our vision to create beautiful artworks and stylish patterns on our wraps. We design each fabric so the images, flow and space in each pattern take on a completed form when wrapped around you and your baby.
Each wrap is carefully sewn by Juliette who is a very experienced seamstress and babywearer. We also design and sell accessories, such as hats and cowls in the same material to match your slings to wear whilst you're out showing your baby the world.
