Australian born brand Silky Tots is bringing the luxury of silk bedding to the everyday parent. The brand offers a collection of silk bedding products for babies and children, designed specifically to eliminate balding and reduced tangles and matted hair for their young customers. With a background in textiles, founder Nikki Bardis has used soft, gender-neutral colours in her designs to fit neatly in any nursery.
Bardis keeps the consumer at the forefront of her design decisions. “We have managed to make the benefits of silk accessible to everyday families at a much more affordable cost,” said Bardis. Silk has always been hailed as a material which allows for the breathing of our skin and hair, but the high cost has been a large deterrent for consumers. By replacing the underside of the cot slip with stretch material and having the top side as silk, Bardis has been able to ensure the price point of her products appealed to every parent. “I am a problem solver at heart, and have a real passion for product development.”
Safety and functionality are essential aspects of the Silky Tots collection. “Our goal at Silky Tots is to ensure that all of our products actually work,” explained Bardis. Their products have been designed to align with the SIDS Safety guidelines, with techniques to eliminate friction and prevent baby bald spots. “I still get emotional when I receive positive feedback from an excited mum.”
Silky Tots is looking to expand to the global market and bring its elegant designs to nurseries all around the world.
