Bras

Wool baby vests: wrap style or back button closure. Soft, warm and practical, these newborn vests are an essential part of your maternity layette.

Why choose a newborn bra?

A baby vest is one of the essential items of clothing requested by maternity wards and is always included in the hospital bag. It's not just a simple accessory: it plays a major role in the first few days of life. A newborn cannot yet regulate their body temperature. The transition from the womb to the outside world represents a significant temperature difference that can be unsettling for the baby.

Wrapped in a vest, the baby benefits from extra warmth, in addition to the bodysuit, pajamas, hat, and booties. This simple yet essential garment protects toddlers from the risk of hypothermia and provides the comfort they need to gently adapt to their new environment.

The baby vest in merino wool: softness & safety

Not all newborn vests are created equal. Synthetic models lack breathability and can irritate the skin. That's why Mistricotine has made the exclusive choice of merino wool: an exceptional natural fiber, soft and gentle on delicate skin.

• Thermoregulation : keeps Baby warm in winter, while wicking away moisture.
• Breathability : allows air to circulate and prevents overheating.
• Unparalleled softness : its ultra-fine fibers create a second-skin sensation.
• Hypoallergenic : ideal for sensitive skin.

Choosing a merino wool baby vest means giving your child a protective and healthy garment. All our vests are knitted in France, guaranteeing quality and local expertise.
