The Lila — Convertible Zip Footie
The Lila — Convertible Zip Footie
Lila does not chase the toy. The toy comes to Lila.
She came home in spring 2023 so Sam wouldn’t be lonely — and it worked instantly. The two of them have been sharing the same sunbeam ever since. Lila is the quiet one, the elegant one, the loaf who started it all. Her print is exactly her: warm taupe, delicate polka dots, cocoa trim, and her original watercolor portrait. Every print starts with a photograph of our actual cat, then gets designed into fabric at home by Stella’s mom.
The footie itself is 95% bamboo viscose and 5% spandex — buttery-soft, breathable, with just enough stretch to move the way babies move. And it’s built for the hours no one photographs: the two-way zipper opens from the bottom so 3am diaper changes don’t mean fully undressing a sleeping baby, fold-over cuffs convert to mittens in the newborn months, and the feet fold open as your little one grows.
We made 10 of The Lila in each size — 150 pieces across our entire first collection. When her size is gone, it’s gone.

Fabric & Care
95% bamboo viscose, 5% spandex — buttery-soft, breathable, gentle stretch. (The sewn label reads “95% Viscose from Bamboo 5% Spandex” — same fabric, legal wording.)
Bamboo viscose is happiest with gentle care:
- Machine wash cold on gentle, with like colors
- Tumble dry low, or lay flat to dry
- No bleach, no fabric softener
- Wash inside out to protect the print
Wear snug-fitting. Not flame resistant.
Federal sleepwear standards require this advisory for sizes above 9 months (our 6–12M, 12–18M, and 18–24M). Our footies are cut snug by design — snug-fitting sleepwear is the safety standard for babies, and bamboo viscose has plenty of stretch. If your little one is between sizes, size up for longer wear.
First run of 150
We made 150 of these. Not 150 per print — 150 total, across every size and all three cats. Ten of each print, in each size. That’s the entire first collection, sewn as one small batch and counted by hand (with feline supervision) when it arrived.
We’d rather make a few things carefully than many things quickly. If your size is still showing, it’s really here. If it sells out, that’s the honest end of batch one.
