New Spring/Summer collection 2020 – Meaningful Life

We present our new summer 2020 collection with two new sets that include freehand drawings of whales and imperfect leaves, which have been hand-crafted with 100% organic cotton in order to raise awareness of the need to protect our planet and embrace a more sustainable consumption.

Following the great worldwide movements of 2019 fervently led by the new generations, we transfer these trends onto our prêt-à-porter CHILDCARE and HOME collections. We want to offer families the coolest accessories for babies/children (car seat, pushchair, carrycot, hammock, crib, 90 cm bed, etc..) while taking on the new trends straight from the most prestigious and influential catwalks.

Fun*das bcn* 2020 collection, defined as MEANINGFUL LIFE, embraces the values of the new generations, who are increasingly more aware of the need to guarantee a responsible consumption and our planet’s sustainability. This requires appreciating and taking care of our forests, jungles, oceans and wildlife, and connecting with them from an early age in order to absorb their positive energy and learn from their interactions.

Thanks to the new natural fabrics made of 100% organic cotton and a 100% local and handmade manufacturing in Badalona, we advocate for reducing the water footprint and encouraging consumer awareness, so we can leave a more balanced planet for our little ones and promote an appreciation for nature’s slower rhythms.

One of our core values is our clever functionality that translates into the design and manufacture of tailored covers that follow the latest fashion trends. This way, everybody can customise all the necessary products for their baby (in the car, outdoors and home) according to their style and personality, while adding a unique and exclusive touch!

A perfect mix of design, practicality and immediacy!

At Fun*das bcn we run from all that’s universal. Every season, we design new models for Premium brands of the childcare sector. Moreover, we constantly adapt to the innovations in car seats and buggies in order to achieve very soft and comfortable clothing that fits like a glove.

We listen constantly to our clients in order to ensure continuous improvement of the product catalogue and help families right from the layette preparation, the car trips and the buggy strolls up to the room decoration.

Besides these two new 100% organic cotton collections, we have introduced a new COLOUR BLOCK collection that combines 5 plain colours straight from the ground that contrast in a balanced way: rust, anthracite grey, greyish blue, pale blue and white.

This collection has been tailored using a 100% cotton muslin fabric that adds a very fresh and organic texture. Besides, it’s breathable and delicate, and therefore, skin-friendly for newborns. Muslin is perfect for spring and summer since it’s a light and versatile fabric that keeps them fresh and protected from the airflow at the same time.

A set of three new 100% trendy collections that will win the hearts of the most elegant, modern and design-loving dads, mums and families who want to do their bit to improve the planet by consuming more responsibly.

In this new spring-summer 2020 collection, we present new models for the most Premium car seats in the market, such as TITAN by Maxi-Cosi, TURTLE by Nuna or IZI GO MODULAR X1 I-SIZE by Besafe, a new cover that adapts perfectly well to the bestselling DUALFIX I-SIZE by Britax Römer or a new cover for SIRONA Z I-SIZE by Cybex.

 Regarding the new additions for buggies, we have designed tailored covers to customise the new Bugaboo’s ANT, a new and improved version of the mat for Bugaboo’s BEE 5 and a new mat for Joie’s LITETRAX 4 or for Uppababy’s VISTA Y CRUZ.

Fun*das bcn HOME collection keeps on growing and adding more models and fabric types, such as the new Colour Block muslin collection – a super fresh, natural and versatile fabric for your baby’s moses and crib. There are two super cute details that complete this collection: two mini-cushions that promise to be a bestseller, with dimensions for newborns – one is egg-shaped and the other is a two-toned square cushion. Both aim to avoid reflux when the babies are stretched and decorate all the cribs around the world.

We can’t forget to mention the new collection for dogs and cats – a wide collection of new cotton covers, beds and mattresses for our lovely pets, now also waterproof!

 

3 NEW PRINTS JOIN THE CURRENT CATALOGUE. 

WHALES

In many cultures, whales are considered a symbol that represents freedom, consciousness and emotional creativity. Their majesty reminds us of nature’s immense power and our meaningless proportion. The symbolism of whales reminds us of how important it is to connect with our emotions in order to better interact with other people and with the world.

In this collection, the hand-drawn white whales highlight the importance of the handcrafted and original work. The soft 100% organic cotton and the unisex greyish blue background have strengthened our original values since 2012.

AMAZONAS 

Inspired by the imperfect harmony of the Amazon Forest, its diversity of plants and colours and its value for our planet’s well-being, we have come up with a “perfectly imperfect” print that combines the organic shapes of hand-made leaves that bring us closer to nature, providing calm and balance.

Thanks to this cheerful print with a messy and pictorial feel – a km0 product which has been tailored with 100% organic cotton, we defend the well-being provided by nature and its zen effect.

COLOUR BLOCK

This print emerged on the catwalks in early 2019, it was seen on our streets this winter, and we reinterpret the trend in order to adapt it to the childcare sector, with more natural and balanced tones that combine perfectly well with different decoration styles.

Following the “less is more” motto, this collection allows to mix and match 5 plain colours for textiles and carrycot/crib accessories that combine or contrast perfectly well, depending on the audacity of each parent!

New Winter 2020 Collection

Fun*das bcn presents its New Winter 2020 collection, with a Jardin de luxe and Japanese tradition as the key concepts for its exclusive collections.

Following the latest fashion shows of big-name brands such as Givenchy, Miu Miu and Marc Jacobs, it was obvious to us that floral designs would be the predominant feature of the looks for this autumn/winter season.

Fun*das bcn brings prêt-à-porter trends to childcare products and every season offer customers the ultimate in style for adorning their baby or child gear (stroller, bouncer, car seat, high chair, etc.), designed in line with the latest fashion from the most prestigious and influential catwalks.

Fun*das bcn presents its Winter 2020 collection, paying tribute to bouquets, to those floral blooms that conjure up images of luxury, maxi dresses, romance, rebirth, love for detail and bright colors with its new prints: Midnight Forest, Curry Flower, and Autumn Garden.

With our custom-made stylish covers, you no longer have to wait months to personalize all your baby gear; they’re ready and waiting for you. Adorn your stroller, car seat, bouncer and other accessories and give them a totally unique and personal look.

We wanted to move away from generalized products so we started manufacturing textiles made from super soft cotton, specifically customized for each brand and model, thus achieving a perfect image and a comfortable and excellent fit for babies and kids.

 

The perfect fusion of design, practicality, and immediacy!

 

In this new Winter 2020 collection, Fun*das bcn also wants to promote another big fashion trend concept that we’ll see this season: Japan. With its minimalist and refined tradition and the hand embroidery that characterizes this great culture spanning thousands of years, Fun*das pays tribute to the traditional with its Sashiko print.

A set of four new, trendy and stylish prints that are sure to delight elegant and romantic mums and dads.

For its new Winter 2020 collection, Fun*das bcn has also incorporated some unique products into its home collection, which will enhance the look of any room in the home: fringed cushions, star-shaped cushions, a lightweight pouf with handles, and a hooded neck warmer lined with soft synthetic fur to face the winter with style.

But that’s not all. Fun*das bcn has yet another surprise in store for us. They’ve introduced a passion for velvet in their sleep bags for newborns. A triangular bag with a soft, micro-teddy interior for use with a carrycot, baby bed reducer or just as a cute swaddle blanket, which would make the perfect Christmas gift for sophisticated babies.

  

4 new prints join the existing 50 prints in the Fun*das catalog to cater for all tastes

 

SASHIKO

Sashiko is a traditional form of Japanese embroidery. In the olden days, if a valuable piece of fabric was damaged or worn it would be patched up with several layers of cloth that was sewn stitch by stitch. At that time, it was a practical and clever way of preserving garments to avoid waste. Since then, the technique has evolved and now there are many different designs and colors, and it is great fun to make.

Fun*das bcn wanted to recover this tradition and to convey it through this geometric print steeped in history.

 

MIDNIGHT FOREST

This strong print emanates energy and transports us to a forest with lush vegetation and little animals. Like an ancient fable, it evokes a place of fantasy, full of color, adventure, and autumnal aromas.

 

CURRY FLOWER

A host of flowers on a bright mustard background conjure up images of the French countryside to create a romantic, elegant and contemporary look. A touch of warmth, delicacy, and vitality to enjoy winter outdoors.

 

AUTUMN GARDEN

Autumn winds make the leaves dance and the gardens are filled with shades of red, pink, purple and brown, creating a romantic setting and reminding us that winter is on its way.

Live slow.

 

DEEP STRIPES

A basic style that evokes our origins and wants to become the ambassador for the “mindfulness” concept.

Just a balanced stripe with natural tones and a steady pace. With no flashes or distractions. We wanted a solid and optimistic foundation in order to build a new life from the very first moment with no distortions – happy babies for a balanced future.

Why put covers on your baby car seats? We give you 7 reasons

Using Fun*das’ car seat covers will grant us 7 benefits:

  1. They prolong the seat’s life span. They protect the upholstery from wear and stains.
  2. They provide a safe and smooth sitting.
  3. They are skin friendly – suitable for your baby’s skin, thanks to the cotton natural fibres.
  4. They are breathable – cotton absorbs sweat better than polyester in baby car seats.
  5. They are easily removable. Thanks to the covers, we avoid disassembling the original upholstery of the child retention system if we want to clean it, since we just touch the cotton cover. This avoids subsequent mistakes when assembling the seat’s covering that might affect the passenger’s safety.
  6. They allow machine washing at 30 degrees.
  7. They add a personal touch and aesthetics to the vehicle’s interior.

 

There are 4 profiles of different parents with specific purchase needs, according to a study edited by the AEI (Childhood Innovative Companies Association), coordinated by Asepri and developed by AIJU’s (Technological Institute of Leisure and Children’s products) technicians.

  • Active Parenting refers to those parents who claim upbringing is a unique experience. They value and take into account different upbringing theories and methodologies, they are very active online and become great opinion leaders within their communities.
  • Fashion Parenting – fashion is a part of their lifestyle, a behaviour that extends to everything that’s related with their children’s world. This parent profile follows well-established upbringing models in our society through the advice of relatives, specialised media and brands.
  • Rational Parenting refers to urban parents who have postponed parenthood until they reach an economic stability. They are more practical and thoughtful parents who choose balance without leaving their professional career aside. This maturity leads them to select products both from the aesthetic and from the functional point of view.
  • Techno Parenting refers to parents who use technology as an ally in their children’s upbringing. They simplify their parenting labour with apps, last generation products for babies and the latest designs and materials.

 

Fun*das wants to reach all kinds of new parents by offering a 24h purchase service through our online store, as well as through our multi-brand physical stores, and maintaining our high activity providing information in social networks. Additionally, we try to design and manufacture practical and aesthetic products at the same time – we do Smart shopping, we provide the customer with information the same way we would like information to be provided to us, while always being aware of where and how the apparel that caresses our babies is manufactured. Similarly, we also try to make our designs as unisex as possible while transpiring design and simplicity, and especially we want them to be useful and practical.

When do we start to educate our kids?

When do we start to educate our kids? A big question with a simple answer. Our kids’education begins at their birth.

Is there any pace?

Each child has their own learning pace and we must respect it. During their first two years of life, their brain evolves very quickly. This evolution can be witnessed with their development: their first steps, their first words…

But there are also other internal changes, which are difficult to observe, such as what they hear, see or think. There are different stages of growth and development and every child develops at their own pace reaching different milestones.
Is early stimulation beneficial? Early stimulation is a good things as long as it is not aimed to push your child to become a “genius”. It is important for parents to enjoy their kid’s childhood by playing with them and showing them love and respect. It seems quite basic but I often meet parents who forget to just enjoy their child for what he is.

Masseuse massaging little baby girl

What is early stimulation? They are a set of techniques aimed to develop children aged 0 to 6 years old.  They are generally used with children that have some type of development issues (motor, cognitive, sensory, communicative, emotional …) or might have difficulties acquiring some of the functions.

What’s the goal? The main goal of early stimulation’s techniques is to develop intellectual, physical, emotional and social skills during the children’s first years of life. By stimulating neural connections in their brain through sensory techniques, kids can explore their full potential and expand their possibilities in future learning.

And how does a baby’s brain work? The brain is a complex organ that gives meaning to experiences through emotions and thoughts. Neuropsychological development is the process associated with the growth of the brain structure and the brain’s functions in relation to behaviour. This development starts when the baby interacts with their environment.

The development of the nervous system occurs in different phases, following the brain’s growth.

Before all these steps … Let’s talk about what kind of education we will give to our baby! Crying, sleeping, feeding and education are four subjects that may bring confrontation between the 2 parents. It is essential that parents act as team and reach an agreement about how to educate their children.

Education is key for a healthy development. Parents need to learn how to guide their baby without sabotaging their creativity. Early stimulation helps in many cases but the most important thing is to go to a good professional and give loads of love and understanding to your kid.

Fun walls

You want your baby’s bedroom to catch their attention and stimulate their creativity. Finding original accessories can sometimes be difficult but we have some great ideas to help you create the perfect bedroom.

Decorating the walls open up many creative options.

The first idea that comes to mind are stickers, posters or wall paper. When deciding which one to pick, think about your child’s personality.

Some examples can be: a poster of his favourite cartoon, a beautiful landscape or bright and fun colours.

We also love the option of painting the wall with chalkboard paint. Your kid’s unique drawings are the best decoration. Keep in mind that a black coloured wall can make your bedroom look smaller.

You can also create an original wall using different colours and shapes: dots, geometric shapes, lines…
