Sarah's Silks Wings

Two elastic loops slip over the arms, so children can put the wings on and take them off entirely by themselves. The loops stretch enough to sit over clothing, which means kids can add wings to whatever they are already wearing and get straight into their game without any help from an adult.

They are 100% real silk, painted and silk-screened by hand, and coloured with eco-friendly, non-toxic dye. The hand finishing gives each pair its own slight variation in shade, and the lightweight silk keeps the wings soft and easy to move in during active, running-around play.

The wings are kept simple on purpose, so children can decide what they are. Popular ideas include dragons, birds, ladybugs and bats, but the open design leaves the rest up to them. That flexibility lets one pair carry a child through many different characters and stories over time.

You can choose from Blossom, Forest, Desert, Starry Night and Rainbow. Each print is applied by hand, so colours shift a little from pair to pair. Children can pick a shade that matches their mood or ties in with the rest of their dress-up outfit for the day.

Hand-wash the wings with a mild shampoo or dish soap in warm water, then hang them to dry. A quick press with an iron on a medium setting brings back their natural shine. Keep them away from harsh detergents and hot machine cycles to protect the hand-applied colour.

Yes. The elastic loops have plenty of give, so the wings sit comfortably over t-shirts, jumpers or dresses. Because the silk is so light, children barely notice the weight on their shoulders, which helps them stay in character and keep moving freely while they play throughout the day.
