✔ Eco-friendly - woven with left over yarns that will otherwise go to landfill
✔ Strong, supportive & cushy
✔ Great all-rounder
Woven with our unique pocket weave technique, Oakenshield Striate baby wrap brings a soft malleability and a wonderful cush for the shoulders. This durable fabric is perfect for little ones and toddlers alike and will become buttery soft with wear.
We make this fabric from small batches of leftover yarns, turning them into one of our 'ultra eco-fabrics'. Instead of throwing away these yarns, we use them to create something unique and beautiful.
This one-of-a-kind pocket weave fabric is made up of a layer of mixed blue and cool shades. This contrasts with a layer of solid rich gold to pick out the pattern along with the black and ecru organic cotton weft. The pocket weave adds beautiful crispness to every detail making the bold, Art Deco style Middle-earth pattern stand out beautifully.
This special weaving technique forms little pockets of air across the fabric. It gives a lovely cush and slight bounce which is perfect for carrying your little ones in ultimate comfort. This strength and support make it suitable for use through to toddlerhood, but can also be used with newborn babies after a wee bit of wear.
Our customers adore our pocket weaves - find out why for yourself!

This is a natural product with an organic scent, no chemical agents are used in the manufacture of the item or its packaging.
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.
