The “Piuma” line is created for those light weighted and fragile children who appear in the world earlier than the set time. Piuma is a cuddle for them and a caress for their parents who suddenly went from dreaming of the moment they would embrace their creature to seeing it through the glass of an incubator in just a day.
In the NICU, everything takes on a different value…time, itself isn’t counted in minutes but in instants.
Pondering over the courage of these parents, imagining the strength of these children and esteeming the staff who take care of them, I ended up with the desire of creating something that would make their stay in the NICU more “normal”.
Until the moment you walk through the door with your child in your arm, it is difficult to be light-hearted in such a unit. Nonetheless, I love to think that every piece I’ve sown will give a smile to everyone who sees a child wearing it.
