Designed by a parent, for parents.

I (Karen Cross) had thought long and hard when coming up with the idea for the Wrap and Go, born out of the need to have a product i could use every day, would solve several problems associated with being out and about with a small child.
The beauty of the Wrap and Go is it’s simplicity… 
Coupled with it’s ability to fit any pushchair or car seat, parents heave a sigh of relief at the realisation the Wrap and Go is so easy to use, can be folded up with the pushchair, the sleeves are much easier to apply and babies can be left to sleep peacefully without worrying about over heating.
The only coat parents can put on and take off without taking their baby or toddler out of the pushchair or car seat… 
More importantly my sewing skills, knowledge of fabrics and which would be most suitable for the job, made this product a possibility and ultimately a reality.
I personally made the first 20 Wrap and Go’s before having them manufactured in Poland… which I hope will change to the UK once we have UK trained machinists.
Coming up a fashion design idea isn’t the hard part… lots of people know what they want to wear or what might be the next big thing in fashion!
But how many can actually execute it!?
How many people know how to explain the machinations of their design, much less give concise instructions on how to construct it or have a competent knowledge of the vast array of fabrics which all perform differently when cut and sewn in a variety of ways?
Keep calm and Wrap up warm!
