So ... it's taking a lot longer than I thought it would, but I am excited to announce that I will officially open the Maaiki online store before the end of August.

I've been having fun playing around with Maaiki samples and the different colour fabrics and prints. The print patterns are my favourite. I love how the prints help to bring the items to life. I look forward to sharing the different types of prints and styles with everyone soon.

It's very exciting to see the Maaiki baby range come to life. I've had a lot of fun watching my CMT (Cut, Make and Trim) company in action. We are using water-based ink for all Maaiki printing, which basically means that the ink becomes part of the fabric (instead of being printed on top of the fabric).

I placed our first fabric order today. As with everything else to do with this range, the fabric is 100% local as well. As a local start-up I feel strongly about supporting other local businesses. Back to the fabric. It is stunning, beautiful, soft and the quality is amazing. I’ve opted for Single Jersey which is 94% combed cotton : 6% elastane Our first colours will include cloudy grey, pastel cheeks,misty blue and white. I am hoping to see the first colour samples (specially matched for maaiki) in a week or two.   #maaiki #smile #baby #basics #mydream
