Woven with BCI organic cotton and luxurious Bourette silk, this gorgeous baby wrap is soft and very mouldable in hand making it easy to use for a variety of different carries. Grey and white flecks speckle across the length, a wonderful characteristic of Bourette silk, giving a lovely unique look to each piece.
This blend creates a strong and supportive fabric with a wonderful cush for the shoulders - all for an enjoyable wrapping experience. A great-all rounder, Oakenshield Dwarf-King is great for carrying toddlers and heavy children but will also be suitable for wrapping newborn babies. Less experienced wrappers will find it easy to work with.
Our Art Deco style Oakenshield pattern, inspired by the Dwarves in The Hobbit™ & The Lord of the Rings™, is picked out in a grey yarn on a striking mirrored gradation from deep burgundy through carmine red to orange, then back to burgundy.
By using BCI cotton we ensure that our cotton meets the Better Cotton Initiative’s high standards of environmental, economic and social responsibility. Our BCI cotton is also organic, meaning it is grown with care and without chemicals keeping the land, and farmers, healthy.

This pattern celebrates the Oakenshield lineage of Dwarf-Kings who ruled over the mines and wealth of The Lonely Mountain. You can find the names of the 3 prominent Kings inscribed in runes on the design - Thrór, Thráin and Thorin as well as their title 'King Under the Mountain' along the borders.
The Hobbit tells the story of Thorin Oakenshield's return to claim the Mountain hoard from the dragon, Smaug, who ousted his grandfather, Thrór from The Lonely Mountain and this design is an ode to that quest and the Dwarves' determination.
The design nods to the motifs and hard lines of Art Deco pieces, creating a series of decorative shields which feature straight-edged interlocking patterns reminiscent of Celtic knots but with a more industrial aesthetic, reflecting the nature of the Dwarves of Middle-earth. Hidden in the artwork are elements indicating the wealth they uncovered and the objects they skillfully crafted.
