Our Muddy Chief, Natasha Shares the Inspiration Behind Our New Collection

Another autumn is approaching and with it the start of a new school year. For this winter I think we have created our best collection yet and I am so excited about the launch. Inspired by the exquisitely illustrated book ‘Where my Wellies Take Me’ our prints are littered with abstract stubble fields, hoof marks, frog spawn and starry skies in vibrant colours that stand out from the crowd. We have refined our sporty, light-weight warm and waterproof EcoSplash collection which turns plastic bottles into techincal outerwear. I also love the updates to our classic storm proof fisherman macs with the longer length and chevron print extra warm lining. Over the last week I have been testing out our new herringbone stitch scamp suit on my little niece in the Highlands and she could not look more snug and adorable with the cosy fleece suit zipped in and the soft sherpa pointy hood pulled up against the rain. While my trio have been putting the 3 Season Storm Explorer jackets and gilets to the test climbing mountains and sitting in the heather for rainy picnics. We have built the collection with weather in mind, from the transitional lightweight and bright EcoSplash range which is perfect for wet or windy autumn (or at the moment August!). These can be perfectly complimented with our colourful rubber print puddlestomper wellies (my favourites are the raindrop!).

Next up the puddleflex is our mid-weight collection with sturdy, flexible stormproof outer fabric in bold yellow, bright red or forest green. It is exceptional quality and designed for school and every day life however hard the rain falls and the wind blows. Pair up the jackets with our insulated, draw string and fur lined puddleflex wellies that banish icy toes and stepping out on winter days can still be fun! For ultimate versatility our winter weight scampsuits and 3 season storm explorer provide the complete solution from autumn through winter to spring. Designed in cutting edge fabrics that are durable, waterproof, breathable, windproof and have a woven hand feel which means children will find them exceptionally comfortable to wear. The zip out fleece in the scampsuit is supersoft and ideal for cruising in the buggy or snuggling in the sling. Equally the removable gilet in the explorer jacket is waterproof, insulated and packs in to its own pocket which makes it extremely handy for every day use. Pop on our sweet, cloud-print base layers underneath and no chill will ever get in. At Muddy Puddles everyone in the team is committed to creating perfect outerwear for children which combines lovely design with exceptional technical performance. We believe that every child is wild at heart. We want to inspire children to step in to the great outdoors and leap in to life. I hope this autumn you spot something you can’t resist and it protects your young adventurers on all the excursions that await you!
