As much as we would love to announce the arrival of a new bundle of joy... we are still waiting. So why not announce a new design instead? Duet is a new design by Juliette, two contrasting birds who spiral together in infinte tesselating flight. Juliette studied fine art in The Hague, Netherlands and her academy was only a few streets from museums of celebrated dutch artists, one being M.C. Escher. The art of tesselation, though used throughout history as an art form heavily infulenced by mathematics and geometry, was taken to a new level by M. C. Escher by using irregular interlocking shapes like animals and other natural forms. Though influenced by Escher, Juliette's design Duet is very much in her own art style. This high contrasting colour way of super dark navy warp with light turquoise and blue alternating weft we are calling 'Duet en bleu.' 'La vie en bleu' is a lesser know countrpart of the french phrase 'la vie on rose' meaning a happy life. La vie on bleu means the life of a dreamer. Also to go with the design name 'Duet,' a piece of music written in a minor key is often referred to as 'en bleu' or 'in blue.' And the final reason for the name, the wrap is of course.. blue.
This is the first planned release for after the baby arrives. So if you like it send us some labour vibes!

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.
