They are definitely inspiring on-the go parents whose curiosity and wanderlust never stops.

They are gracefully embracing change and are always forward-looking. In the past 3 years, Lena and Carlo have moved 9 times between Spain, Australia and India. The Yoli & Otis Carrier was designed to cover all three of those things through the initial stages of childhood. They ended up with three important things: Good Health-Safety and Happiness. They asked themselves “how can we provide her with the best life possible?”. The Yoli and Otis story started with a baby… Isn’t it wonderful how children brings out the best in us and makes us go places we never thought we would be able to go to? Lena and Carlo just had their first child. It looks like the process that leads to the final product was very organic.

When you look at their amazing instagram account or read interviews from them it all makes sense. The whole philosophy behind the brand feels like a natural continuity with the creators lifestyle and beliefs. What I like about Yoli and Otis is that nothing seems “marketing oriented”. The icing on the cake: they are made with love in India, a country close to my heart for having lived there for three years. They are simple, elegant and seem super easy to use. If I didn’t have a mini mini at home I would definitely want to have one just to be able to try those Herbal Dyed Organic baby Carriers. Through the creative adaptation of life, we discover love, sentimental purpose and charm in the small moments.I don’t know if it is this timid New York spring weather or the gorgeous pictures on their website but Yoli & Otis, a brand new Australian-based brand, completely stole my heart and makes me longing for summer. both are my favourites! The design and detail is so beautiful, ancient almost.ĭo you feel Yoli and Otis identified with Antiqüa? Why?Īs a brand and myself personally, I feel we identify with Antiqüa wholeheartedly. but I would have to say either the Maiwen or the Margot ring. So hard to pick just one! They’re all so stunning. Yoli has had her eyes on it for some time now! seeing her wear it one day will feel so truly special. with integrity and purpose.ĭo you have any family treasures to pass on your children when they grow up?Ī few bits a pieces, one of which is from Carlo, a beautiful rose gold and aqua marine ring. It’s our responsibility as the consumer and producer to work against these standards and steer towards creating fashion consciously. Weighing heavy on the environment our health and in most cases staff are underpaid and subjected to very poor working conditions. Why do you choose these values over fast fashion?įast Fashion is the mass production of cheap, poor quality clothing based on the latest trends, imitated in the shortest possible time. We work with indigenous Cotton - using all ancient techniques I.e cotton crop that’s grown on rainwater without the use of any pesticides -handwoven on wooden handlooms without use of electricity - dyed using Ayurvedic herbs, plants and minerals. What does your production process consist of? which I think are all incredibly crucial components to feeling truly inspired. Allowing a diverse and international influence to flow freely and create connections, ideas and adventure. I'm inspired by the people that gravitate towards the island because of their love for creativity and nature combined. We feel so safe and protected in her presence and so lucky to call Mallorca ‘home’. with rows of orange & olive trees floating in between. She meets the blue sky, drops straight into the sea. There is a certain magic to Mallorca, something to do with the light, the way it reaches across the Serra de Tramontana, reflecting the most mesmerising colours. Words cannot fully describe quite how stunning the island is, or at least I wouldn’t be able to do it justice.

so already we have a very special connection together with the island.Īside from the beautiful Mediterranean climate. We first met here on the island 10 years ago, for work. Why Mallorca? What inspires you in the island? He has since passed away, sadly but is still with us in spirit.Ĭarlo and I are from New Zealand, and the children are both born in Australia and grew up there, in Byron Bay, before relocating to Mallorca. The names Yoli & Otis belong to my daughter Yolanda and her dog, Otis.
