Sam found us first.

He was a kitten on the side of the road one fall evening in 2021. We pulled over; he never left. He claimed the warmest lap in the house that night and has held the title ever since. Sam is the talker — chatty, affectionate, and fluent in exactly two words: meow and love. His print is soft sky blue with cloud-white trim, scattered with his paw prints, his watercolor portrait, and the word he says most. Every print starts with a photograph of our actual cat, designed into fabric at home by Stella’s mom.

The fabric is the quiet luxury here: 95% bamboo viscose, 5% spandex — buttery-soft, breathable, and stretchy enough for a baby who has opinions about bedtime. Then there’s the 3am engineering: a two-way zipper that opens from the bottom so diaper changes don’t wake the whole house, fold-over mitten cuffs for the newborn weeks, and feet that fold open as your baby grows.

We made 10 of The Sam in each size — 150 pieces across the entire first collection. The first cat, in a first run this small, won’t be around long.

  • Two-way zipper — zip from the bottom for diaper changes without the full undress
  • Fold-over mitten cuffs — cover tiny hands in the scratchy newborn weeks
  • Convertible feet — footie one month, open cuff the next; it grows with your baby
  • 95% bamboo viscose / 5% spandex — buttery-soft, breathable, gentle stretch
  • Original watercolor art of Sam — our real cat, from a real photograph
  • Unisex by design — every print is made for every baby
  • Small batch — 10 per size; 150 pieces in the entire first run

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.
