The design team changes everything.

We dont often take the time to give you a little behind the scenes look at all the fun we are having at Uppymama. In October of 2014, team Uppy really got serious about the process of designing our wraps. Chelsea, our in-house art and technical designer, joined Becky and the rest of the amazing Uppymama team. Each new warp we have produced since then has had the same excitement of getting our very own custom Uppymama wraps.

Working collaboratively with our babywearing mamas, Uppymama has designed beautiful warps.These warps include the gorgeous Uppymama Harbour, the stunning Pink Lemonade and Lavender, the Macaron Series, the Facets Series, Thrive, Jazz, Kaleidoscope and Soda Shoppe. Let’s not forget the actual customs Arrow and Tahlia (pictured above).

The Uppymama design team loves getting to know their customers ideas and working together to fulfill their vision.

Another amazing thing about Uppymama wraps, is the unparalleled skill of our artisan weavers. Quality and accuracy is of utmost importance to us in creating a timeless and durable textile that is also a work of art. Our custom weavers are completely focused on the details of creating flawless, breathtaking wraps from our designs.Then Uppy finishers and seamstresses make sure that every wrap is gorgeous and finished to perfection.

The sealed-bid auction is for a single custom wrap with a maximum size of 5.0 meters. You will have the option to purchase additional wraps at $130 per meter up to a maximum of 50 meters if you win the auction!

Why a sealed-bid auction?

When we had the website functionality designed, we thought about how we would be able to offer handwoven custom creations. This took a lot of thought in the area of how we wanted the auctions to run.

Purchasing a custom designed handwoven creation is such a uniquely personal and sought after product. Therefore, we feel auctions are the fairest way to do it.

It is important to us that customers have the time and privacy to just place their bid at their leisure. Anonymity of keeping their bid private is equally as important. We want our customers to be able to decide what they have personally budgeted for a custom designed wrap. Then be able to place that bid without the perceived pressure of outbidding or having to spend the time following an online auction.

We will let you know when the auction will close and we will notify the highest bidder by email.
