We're taking our first little steps, so thank you for bearing with us. All orders ship this Friday.

The first walks are the ones you remember. Crisp air, a sleepy face peeking out, the whole world new. So we made a single soft layer, head to toe: no wrestling with layers, just you, them and nature.
An heirloom in the making. Pass it on, or keep it tucked away in a box of special things (if it isn’t lost to the teddy dressing-up box first).

  • Ultra-gentle against delicate skin – super-soft Italian merino yarn that we spent two years developing
  • Gentle, smooth-running zip
  • Foldable cuffs to tuck little hands away
  • Naturally temperature-regulating merino
  • Crafted like the luxury knitwear in your own wardrobe – made in Portugal, with hand-finished seams, soft yet secure enough for sibling after sibling

A cosy cream, Gingham Elderflower is our limited edition, finished with gingham piping like a picnic on the lawn.

One soft layer, head to toe, for a baby's very first adventures.

  • The world's softest wool: Italian merino, gentle on new skin
  • Naturally temperature-regulating: warm in the cold, never stuffy as things warm up
  • Core shades or limited-edition gingham piping
  • Made to be handed down: built to outlast one baby

We spent two years developing our own merino with a specialist Italian mill, to create the world's softest wool.

  • Two years in the making: developed and refined with our mill until the softness and strength were just right
  • Fine fibres: gentle against the most delicate skin
  • Naturally temperature-regulating: holds warmth in the cold, lets heat escape as things warm up
  • Breathable: comfortable all day, without overheating
  • Lined in 100% cotton: a soft, breathable layer next to the skin

Made in Portugal by a third-generation, family-run babywear maker, trusted by premium and luxury brands for nearly 40 years.

  • Every step under one roof: a fully vertical mill, from yarn and fabric to the finished piece, so nothing leaves their care
  • Made to the strictest baby standard: every baby piece they make meets OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, Class I, the toughest level, set for babies
  • Independently audited: ISO 9001 for quality, ISO 14001 for environmental care, and BSCI and Sedex for fair, safe working conditions
  • European craftsmanship: made to European standards, for the people who make it and the planet

Merino looks after itself more than you'd think: wash less, air more.

  • Finding the right size: see the size guide, and if they're between sizes, size up
  • Air between wears: hang it in fresh air and it comes back feeling fresh, so it rarely needs a full wash
  • When it does: wash at 30°C, inside out, with a gentle liquid wool detergent. No softener, no bleach
  • Drying: reshape while damp and let it dry naturally, away from radiators. Never tumble dry
  • A little bobbling is natural: it's common in the first few wears, and a wool comb lifts it away
  • Before sleep: take merino layers off indoors and before sleep, so they don't overheat
  • Keep away from fire

Our Italian Merino

We spent two years developing our own merino with a specialist Italian mill, to create the world’s softest wool. Its fine fibres are gentle enough for the most delicate new skin, so the first thing your baby feels on every adventure is pure, natural softness.

Never Too Hot, Never Too Cold

Merino’s fine fibres hold warmth when the wind picks up and let heat escape as things warm up, taking them from a frosty walk to a warm café without bundling and unbundling at every stop.

Why it's important

“A pramsuit should keep babies comfortable, not just warm. Fine merino regulates temperature naturally, so they stay cosy in the cold and never overheat.”
