Taylor Ratlidge knows the hassle of trying to get a brush through a child’s tangled hair in the morning.
Her daughter, who is three — the youngest of her three children, has a halo of curly locks that looks gorgeous but presents a challenge. “It was hard to manage, and there were tears in the morning when I would try to brush out her messy hair,” says Taylor.
It got her thinking, “Why aren’t we offering silk pillowcases for children?” And so Remy&Co was born. While researching, Taylor discovered other benefits of sleeping on silk, including for your skin, so she launched SilkyHead pillowcases for the family (she’s pictured with them, right). A range solely for kids is also planned. They’re top quality, made of Mulberry Silk that’s OEKO-TEX certified (free of toxic chemicals).
Taylor’s other products are inspired by finding solutions to issues she’s faced as a mum, including organic stretchy swaddles (and cute matching beanies and topknot headbands!), and muslin wraps.
Her lovely designs across the range are exclusive — she either creates her own looks alongside a graphic designer or works with local artists.
