Ok, so I must admit I haven't been around as much the last few months. I got a new job, and my 19 month old began the dreaded "wrap strikes". So, we began wrapping less, which caused me to decline many off the traveler offers I received, and I began to wonder what all Babywearers wonder during the wrap strike phase: do I still belong in this community?
And then I found a new woven company. It all began with some spam a friend posted, of a unique and beautiful design that took my breath away with its simplistic style and breathtaking purple hue. Partita. Being as I hadn't pined after a wrap in months, I simply had to seek out the company behind it. What I found was the delightful Emmeline Textiles.
Emmeline Textiles is a small company made up of two sisters who share a love of babywearing, Textiles, and family. While they are not yet well known among brands, they create an exquisite collection of wraps that provide cush, moldability, support, stretch, texture, and innovation. Their signature design, Eleanor Pearl, offers an elegant design with marshmallowy cush. Their most recent design, Amelia, showcases a single crepe weave stripe within a gorgeous satin weave, the latest in their signature Ribbon Collection. Not to be outdone, their rainbow of Partita colorways offer a variety of cottons and colors that brighten your day and support your wearer--no matter their size! Finally, my current crush is their lovely Emmeline design, a wonderful floral pattern that offers floppy goodness right out of the wash while providing all the support I need for my 4 year old. (Yes, I said four!)
As if that weren't enough, their in-house, one of a kind dye jobs are simply amazing, turning every wrap into a work of art.
Am I being paid to write this? No. Ali and Jess will probably be surprised to read this tomorrow. But this is a company I really believe everyone should know about, not just for their amazing Textiles--which I believe are made to call Perma--but also for their integrity, their passion, their accessibility, and their community.
Don't know who they are? Join their brand group, The Coterie. Feel free to ask them anything and get to know the next big brand in babywearing! (And snag an ET wrap before they all become HSA items!)
