Little questions,
big answers.

Viscose from bamboo is a fibre made by processing bamboo cellulose into a soft, breathable textile. Canadian labelling rules require it to be called “viscose from bamboo” rather than simply “bamboo,” and we follow that standard everywhere we describe our fabric. You can read the full explanation on our fabric page.

95% viscose from bamboo and 5% spandex, knit at 250 GSM. The spandex gives the fabric stretch recovery so it moves with a baby and returns to shape after washing. The zipper is a YKK #3 two-way nylon coil.

GSM stands for grams per square metre — a measure of fabric weight. At 250 GSM the fabric has enough substance to feel considered rather than flimsy, while staying breathable enough for sleep. We publish the number because it is comparable between brands, unlike words such as “buttery” or “luxe.”

Our fabric specification requires OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Class I certification, the strictest class, written for textiles intended for babies and toddlers under three. Independent third-party laboratory testing for flammability, lead, phthalates, and fibre content will be completed before any Wame product is offered for sale. We will publish results once we hold them, and we make no testing claims before then. We publish claims only after they are verified.

Canada's Children's Sleepwear Regulations hold loose-fitting sleepwear to stricter flame-spread requirements than snug-fitting sleepwear, because a close fit leaves less air between fabric and skin. Our fit follows the snug-fitting requirements.

Every size has a convertible foot and fold-over cuffs. Cover the feet and hands for sleep, then fold them back once your baby is walking — the same piece works before and after that milestone.

Solids in 0-3M, 3-6M, 6-12M, 12-18M and 18-24M; prints in 0-3M, 3-6M and 6-12M. Ten colourways in five colour families: Cloud Cream & Little Planets, Icy Blue & Winter Wishes, Midnight & Night Sky, Willow Sage & Dino Days, Clay Hearth & Wild Friends. See the Two-Way Zip Sleeper for full details.

Because babies outgrow clothing faster than families can reasonably re-buy it. Neutral colourways and quiet design mean each piece can be handed down regardless of who wears it next.

Machine wash cold with like colours on a gentle cycle, tumble dry low, and skip the bleach. Low heat preserves softness longest.

The Two-Way Zip Sleeper is currently in development. The waitlist gets first access at launch and honest progress updates along the way.
