🌸 Naturally beautiful – what are the differences between the fabrics used in Piapimo products?

In the world of baby products, choosing fabric isn't a detail—it's fundamental. It's what touches a baby's skin, wraps them up at sleep, protects them in their first days of life, and accompanies them in their daily rituals. That's why at Piapimo, we only use materials that are not only beautiful but above all safe, soft, and durable .

1. Cotton satin – softness and durability in one

The cotton sateen used in our sleeping bags and bedding is a premium material. Smooth, breathable, and durable. Thanks to its special weave, it doesn't irritate skin and stands up to repeated washing. Ideal for contact with newborn skin.

2. Cotton jersey knit fabric – soft as a mother's touch

Hats, nursing pillow covers, sleeping pillow covers, and stroller sheets are made from cotton jersey with added Lycra. This fabric works with the baby – it stretches, doesn't constrict, and allows the skin to breathe. Importantly, it retains its shape and maintains its quality for a long time.

3. Bouclé and velvet – softness that pleases the senses

Our cosmetic bags, cases, and some accessories are made from bouclé, velvet, and soft denim. These fabrics add charm and pleasure to everyday use. For mothers who value aesthetics and the sensory joy of touching soft surfaces.

4. Cotton velvet - soft, smooth, extremely pleasant

Cotton velvet is produced and dyed in Poland according to the highest quality standards. It is created in accordance with our color palette to create a soothing home environment. The softness of velvet is indescribable. It is used to create covers for our nursing pillows and newborn cocoons.

5. Hypoallergenic filling – safe even for sensitive skin

All our sleeping bags are filled with a lightweight, hypoallergenic filling that doesn't clump and provides your baby with proper thermoregulation. Peaceful sleep and comfort – without compromise.

6. OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certificate – confirmed quality

Most of our fabrics are Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 Class I certified – the highest level of safety, intended for babies. This means the materials are free from harmful substances and completely skin-friendly.

🧵 Why does all this matter?

Because a small difference in fabric can mean a huge difference in comfort —for both baby and parent. And for us, it's crucial that every touch of Piapimo products feels like a touch of care and love.

Products from Poland: what does sewing with care mean?

Products from Poland: what does sewing with care mean? In times of mass production and fast fashion, choosing handmade products is more than just an aesthetic decision. It's a conscious choice of quality, value, and the story behind every stitch. At Piapimo, we believe that things made with love are not only more beautiful but also more meaningful. Made in Poland. Why is it important? Our products are made locally—in our Poznań workshop. We have experience and passion, and our products are sewn with the utmost precision. This is what gives each cocoon, sleeping bag, nursing pillow, fitted sheet, or cosmetic bag its individual character. We don't use soulless production lines. Behind every sleeping bag is a human being. An experienced seamstress who knows exactly how to create a soft, safe seam, perfect for baby's sensitive skin. Details that matter Hand-sewing isn't just about precision—it's about attention to detail . This allows us to create products with minimal seams, without constricting cuffs, and with delicate finishes that ensure the comfort of little ones. It is also possible to personalize, control quality at every stage and create from materials that we choose ourselves – certified, proven, safe. Emotions locked in a needle When we say a product is made with care, we truly mean it. Every element of the layette is the result of the work of people who understand children's needs and put more than just skill into every movement—they put emotion into it . Maybe that's why our products have that "something" - a warmth that you feel immediately after unpacking the package. When you buy handmade, you support more than just a brand By choosing handmade products, you are investing in: local development, ethical working conditions, reducing the carbon footprint, conscious approach to parenting. These are small decisions that build a bigger, better world—a closer, freer, more human world.
