Not every day needs a costume
There is a version of children's clothing that is all statement. Big characters, loud prints, an outfit that is doing something.
My children loved those and still do, and there is nothing wrong with them. But you cannot dress a child in an event every day, and the drawer that empties fastest is never the exciting one. It is the plain thing that goes with the other plain things, that suits a nursery drop-off and a family lunch and a Tuesday with nothing in it.
An anchor print is that. Simple enough not to compete with whatever else is on, drawn in-house so it still has some character to it rather than being a blank, and old enough as an idea that it does not go out of date.
A photograph of a baby in stripes and anchors from ten years ago looks like a photograph of a baby. That is not true of most prints, and it is worth something when the pieces are being kept, handed on, or looked back at.
The fabric is the same bamboo lyocell we use throughout, and it does the most work overnight, where the same garment is against her skin for ten or twelve hours in a bedroom air conditioned from May through October across Dubai, Riyadh and the wider Gulf.
It moves moisture away from the skin and lets heat escape, so she holds a steadier temperature instead of warming up, going damp and waking at 3am.
Every thread, dye and fastening is tested to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, Product Class I, the strictest class and the one written for articles worn by babies and toddlers. The bib fastens with magnets sealed inside the fabric.
