Oscha introduced the new collection on 11 September 2012: “This coming Collection has had help and inspiration from a few members of the wider babywearing community through two Oscha competitions so we’d like to start out by mentioning them.
Much of the collection was inspired by the winning entry of the Natural Mamas forum competition, which was to create a new theme for a Collection. Not sure if the winner wants to be mentioned here so I’ll leave that to her if she’d like to out herself!
Through the Wrapper’s Paradise Competition …we saw a new design that we instantly loved and felt would fit really nicely with our current range, so it is featured in this Collection
Lots of pictures and info to come shortly, we hope you’ll enjoy it!”
12 September 2012:
“On the Autumn Equinox the sun and moon, king and queen, divide the hours equally between them. The warm autumn sun falls on hills that are carpeted in a regal cloak of purple heathers and golden grasses, and the woodlands begin to blaze into autumn.
There is a nip in the air as evening draws close; the changing trees are silhouetted against shades of clear blue, deepening to velvet tones as a clear celestial sky becomes visible.
Indoors, jars of honey glisten beside the freshly collected apples. The harvest has been brought in, nuts and berries are gathered and there is a celebration of nature’s abundance.
General answers about the collection:
“Answers to a few questions that have been asked:
Numbers are higher than previously for some items and we are also weaving more SN Vespers and the others that use the same colour warp (which you’ll see soon!). They will be available after the Machair pre-order has been sorted I expect.
The website is still not ready so as a compromise, to limit overselling but avoid people waiting for days for a listing, we’ll give a rough time e.g. Friday afternoon. We know thats not ideal but this will be one of the last times we have to do things that way.
We’ll group a few items together and list them in 3 or 4 lots over the next few weeks.
The warp thread on SN Vespers is an indigo blue tipped towards the purple. The light can really make a difference but I think purply indigo is about as accurate as I can get ”

In addition to Strato Aequus we have two wool wraps to add in to the Autumn Equinox Collection. We’d like to share a bit of info about them as they are new blends for us and have had great reviews from our testers.
Nouveau Bramble is 40% finely spun wool. This is a slightly lighter weight wool wrap but still 240gsm, it has a beautiful drape and is easy to wrap with as well as feeling soft and smooth.
Tree of Life Astraea is 40% wool, 15% silk and 45% cotton. This is a thick wool wrap and will take a bit of breaking in, however it is also incredibly cosy, has a nice stretch and is very supportive.
Below is a review:
“… it’s the blend that makes it. I’ve honestly never felt anything like it before.. I don’t know what I love most, the rough yet softness of it – like pulling on a favourite winter tweed jacket, the way it has a kind of marshmallow squish to it when you squeeze it yet wraps with rock solid support, its beautiful thickness which is perfect for keeping warm and just as good for snuggling under like a blanket or the fact that it is equally suitable for my five month old and my four year old. I don’t think I’ve ever found a wrap that ticks all the boxes like this…It’s certainly not the easiest to wrap with but there is something so satisfying about pulling the passes into place that it makes it worthwhile; you don’t get that sense of accomplishment with most wraps and besides, once it’s tied you’re good to go for hours with no need to adjust or retie”
