The stories behind the Originals
Chika - the calm, confident leader
Chika listens first and lifts others up. The Chika Beanie reflects her calm‑but‑brave vibe with a soft feel against the skin and a shape that stays comfortable from classroom to park. A quiet confidence booster for everyday wear.
Ruby - resilient and always on the move
Ruby is witty, active and always ready for the next adventure. The Ruby Beanie is a practical pick for busy days. It is quick to pop on, easy to care for and made for families who need out‑the‑door ease.
Yao - thoughtful, detail‑loving and observant
Yao notices what others miss and prefers predictable, gentle textures. The Yao Beanie keeps things comfortable with a cosy fleece lining and considerate finishing. A practical choice for kids who usually say “no” to hats.
Baffor - cool, sporty and game for anything
Baffor is the first to suggest a game and the calm in the whirlwind. The Baffor Beanie has a snug feel that stays put through sprints, climbs and windy weekends.
The Calm Connect - Chika & Yao
Some friendships are quiet and powerful. The Calm Connect nods to that bond: a beanie that feels steady and reassuring, with textures that stay gentle and predictable. A simple way to help little heads feel settled on slower days.
The Brainwave - Ruby & Baffor
When play moves quickly and ideas move faster, the Brainwave keeps up. It’s a practical pick so families can get out the door and get moving.
