ABOUT THE AWARDS

Baby Maternity Awards

Baby Maternity Magazine's awards programme is based in the USA. The programme is unique in that all products submitted are reviewed by over 50 expectant mothers, new moms and baby caregivers. This means that the products are judged by the people who would buy them, and professionals that work with babies every day, ensuring the most valuable inputs on quality, design and aesthetics.

From thousands of international entrants, Roots & Wings products received three awards in the following categories for the 2018 awards:

Organic Merino Bodysuit — a 2018 TOP CHOICE OF THE YEAR AWARD in the Baby Clothes category

Organic Merino Swaddle Wrap Blanket — a 2018 PREFERRED CHOICE AWARD in the Baby Blankets category
Merino Knee High Socks — a 2018 SEAL OF EXCELLENCE AWARD in the Baby Footwear category

Junior Design Awards

The Junior Design Awards are based in Europe, London and a “signed seal of style approval” for brands, who consider even being shortlisted as a great honour.

The programme recognises brands for uncompromising style, design and beauty and celebrates the best-of-the-best in childrens’ lives.

Roots & Wings has been awarded in all of two categories:

Best Children’s Activewear (up to 13 years old)

Best Baby Sleepwear Collection

UK Mother & Baby Awards

A top award that sees entries from big international brands each year.

It’s highly competitive and large established brands focus on this award each year.

Roots & Wings Merino, despite our relatively unknown name, was shortlisted for the 2019 award for Best Baby Product (0-4 months).

To be recognised amongst the large established brands is a proud achievement for the relatively small boutique brand Roots & Wings Merino.

UNIQUE BENEFITS OF MERINO

improved sleep for babies

Medical studies have shown that merino has a number of health benefits, including improved sleep patterns in babies.

roots and wings organic merino baby clothes temperature regulates

cool in summer, warm in winter

Merino fibre actively regulates temperature, forming a micro-climate around your child’s body, always retaining the ideal, safe temperature.

our merino baby clothes for boys and girls are so extremely soft. Our merino has no itch!

super silky and soft on young skin

Merino fibres, much finer than other types of wool, measure below the threshold when prickle or itch occurs, making our merino luxuriously soft against the skin. No itch guaranteed!

our organic merino wool is very easy to wash in the machine

easy care

Merino is naturally resistant to shrinkage and wrinkles. Its waxy coating prevents deep staining, so merino will look good even after rough wear. It’s also easy to wash in the machine and even goes in the dryer.

absorbs moisture

Merino absorbs 35% of its own weight in moisture, with a waxy coating that initially repels water, leaving your child warmer and dry for longer.

our merino wool for babies fights allergens

reduces skin allergies

Merino outperforms other fabrics with a natural resistance to the build-up of bacteria and lower incidences of skin allergies.

amazing stretch

Merino can stretch up to 30% of its own length. It follows your child’s movements unhindered, will always fit snugly and retains its natural shape.

TESTIMONIALS

better sleep in our organic merino baby pajamas

These two are sleeping so much better in their Roots & Wings Merino. Their pieces are SO soft + cozy (and organic!)

Ministylemag - mum of these two cuties

The bodysuit from Roots & Wings Merino is unconditionally our favourite for Little Sister. She's been able to fit it for over 9 months now and the merino is both light and fine - wonderful when it's her base layer - and silky soft and most importantly: it keeps her at the perfect temperature.

I don't have to think too much about how I dress my little guy in the morning. I know when he's wearing Roots & Wings underneath he's happy. I've tried using other wool base layers, but he starts screaming. So I like to keep it easy and Roots & Wings does that. Plus we love how easy it is to wash (in the machine!!!), so we use it basically every day! You'd be crazy not getting this for your baby!
