Linen is perfect because it’s imperfect.
The combination of linen with supercombed cotton makes The Queen of the Oceans an ideal choice to everyday weather. Linen reacts to outer temperature – it cools nicely when it’s hot and holds warmth from your body (with layered wrapping) when it gets colder.
Linen is known for its antibacterial properties; it’s typically uneven – it has tiny knots and thicker spots in the yarns – these are not considered a defect. On the contrary, they add a natural aesthetic to the natural yarn.
The Queen of the Oceans wrap falls into the middle weight category; it is a very easy wrap, perfect for bigger babies and toddlers and ideal for parents with wrapping experience. It does not require long breaking in.
The wrap comes to 280g/m2 post-wash and contains 48% linen.
The cotton used is certified organic (GOTS and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 cl.I.)
We founded the yako yako brand because we believe in babywearing and its benefits.
The idea came up during our stay in Sweden where we live temporarily. It is the most inspirational country for us, but the major muse is our daughter Rebeka. She is also the author of the first design – the handprints on the wrap First touch were weaved according to her hand prints taken in her 4 months. The name “yako yako” has been derived from her first sounds or words she made while sucking a pacifier.
And who are us – mother Martina, her other ME and Rebeka’s dad Daniel, his mother Anita, the absolvent of textile academy, artist and interior designer living in Sweden.
Behind the graphic design of yako yako is Peter, a former graffiti artist and founder of graphic studio profigrafik.sk. He follows a motto: “Less is more and more is less”.
