mahabis kids // stories from mini mahabis ambassadors

 

 

In light of our kids launch, we decided to hear from some little ones themselves about what they think of their mahabis, and what they like to do with their playtime/ downtime.

From drawing to reading, we find out that no matter how old you are, having fun, wearing comfy slippers, and enjoying your downtime is just as essential.

 

 

 

Stanley, (3.5y)

Stanley, son of photographer and designer Fiona Burrage, now has matching mahabis with his mum. Since his speech is still developing, Mum fills us in on why he loves his mahabis, (or ‘swippers’ in Stanley's words). Having chosen the larvik light grey and borgen blue combination, Stanley tells us he's a fan because they are 'grey and furry', and enjoys wearing them whilst snuggled up on the sofa watching programmes about trains in his dressing gown.

Even at the age of just 3 and a half, Stanley is no stranger to minimalist design, since Mum Fiona is also the owner of the lifestyle brand Nor-Folk. Their apparel is designed with a timeless, minimalist aesthetic, and is available for the whole family.

more from mum: 

"As a parent, I think they are beautiful quality and the sole being blue is a really nice touch. Better yet we have matching pairs and they blend seamlessly into our apartment."

 

 

edie, (4y)

Edie, daughter of award winning dad blogger Jamie Day, likes her mahabis because they’re cosy and soft, but mostly because they’re the same as her dad’s. Jamie elaborated for us a little - she has been wearing her Mahabis ever since they arrived. Every night they're placed neatly beside her bed, ready for the morning. Edie’s choice was larvik light grey with skane yellow soles. And whilst younger son Arlo (11 months) falls a little out of our size range, he's also a fan! You can check out Jamie's blog on his matching classics here, and why he thinks they are the perfect gift for the hands-on dad.

"She likes them because of the cosy lining, but I actually think the main reason she likes them is because they're the same as mine - I think children love this kind of association with their parents (it's a bit like pretending to put make-up on when my wife does).” 

 

 

S, (8y) 

S, son of Laura Pashby, tells us how he likes spending his downtime. Just as mother Laura blogs at Circle of Pine Trees, we find out that her son also likes being creative, as he tells us “when I'm at home, I love to read, especially Harry Potter. I always build stuff with Lego, and I like drawing too. Dragons are my favourite thing to draw”. S went for larvik light grey with borgen blue soles.

“I like my Mahabis because they're furry and warm inside. I keep them next to my bed so I can put them on in the morning."

 

 

astrid, (6y) and edie, (8y)

Astrid and Edie, daughters of journalist and interiors editor Ciara Elliott, have matching pairs of mahabis classics. Astrid went for larvik dark grey x rjukan red, whilst Edie chose the light grey x skane yellow. When not not reading or watching Harry Potter, Ciara informs us that they are both obsessed with gymnastics, and are constantly cartwheeling and doing flips in the garden.

“I don't want to take them off! Do you think I could wear them to school?" - Edie

 

 

reuben, (6y)

We also caught up with with Reuben, son of one of our earliest ambassadors, the lovely Tiffany Grant-Riley. Her blog Curate and Display is a source for all things minimalist, beautiful design, and slow living. Tiif tells us that Reuben has been walking a little taller since his 'grown-up slippers' arrived, and you can check out more photos of how he's been enjoying his mahabis here.

“I like to sit down in my slippers in my favourite spot on the sofa. I like the green on the bottoms and I also like the grey. They feel nice.”
