Let’s imagine for a moment a world of bébés that truly know their worth. Kings and Queens with lifelong love as their foundation - so much love it overflows, pouring out of them and reaching every person they meet. It’s a world we’d all like to live in, right?
We share big dreams and little hopes with our bébés. Through lessons and love; shared experience and stories. Whether it’s the first days of new life or way down the line, we want to remind you - you’ve got this.
BÉBÉS
nounBÉBÉS: Our little and big bébés; the newborn hearts, old souls and blossoming minds of the world. 0 - 100+ Years of age.
AUNTIES (AND UNCLES)
nounYour aunties and uncles want the best for you. They’ve been through it all, and want to share it with you. They’re a listening ear, a warm hug and all the words of encouragement you need to get out there.
But aunties and uncles aren’t just blood. They can be friends, friends of friends, people from the past or those who pass through and leave behind pearls of wisdom. They believe in you like no one else - see the fire in your eyes; love you hard but remind you that the most important thing in life is to love yourself.
Auntie’s always have your back
Life is a collection of experiences, lessons and moments. We believe there’s nothing more important than sharing these lessons with the people around us.
There’s so much we wish we could have known when we were growing into the bébés we are today. Luckily, we’re all teachers at heart. And we can change all this. All we need to do is share the lessons life teaches us as we turn into big bébés.
We know now that life is growth, right from the first spark of magic in the womb; right until the day your light goes out. It’s all learning - every setback, every rush of joy, every minute in love. And of all the lessons, learning to fall in love with yourself is the most important.
Our similarities outshine our differences, don’t you think? Whether you come from lands of green pasture, sunlit cities, scorching deserts or snow-capped mountains. Inside, we’re all just the same.
The old saying is true: friends are the family we choose for ourselves. And family can be the friends we choose, too. These are the connections we cherish, and sometimes we need to share our wisdom and show our love with something special.
We want to see our bébés being their whole, true, perfectly imperfect self. To teach them that their flaws and fears are the most beautiful thing about them. We want them to find their own wisdom, and pass it on to the bébés they love too.
We believe that every bébé on this planet deserves to love themselves. Because self-love is a superpower.
At Víví’s Auntie, we make products that centre around the core values and characteristics we want to teach - to the bébés we love, and to ourselves. We never want to stop learning from life, and passing those lessons on along the way. These are the pieces that help us connect. And each one has its own value.
Us adults love to over complicate life. What’s the freest you’ve ever been? Running round with your friends, water fountains in the summer sun, exploring the boundless city of your back garden? Tasting sweet fruit straight from the tree, jumping in the sea and leaving the water to dry on your skin in the sun? Long, aimless walks with no care for the clock? This is what freedom feels like.
We sweat the small stuff. And all of us do it.
So we’ve taken a little breath. Some time to slow things down and really think about what matters to us. We started wondering what it is we’d like to be remembered for. And what we wish we’d known when we were growing up. What are our hopes for the next generation? What things do we hope they value most?
Life is Colour
Víví’s Auntíe is a colourful place. We’ve created a line of products rich in colour - each one with its very own value.
Curiosity
Why, why, why? I remember being told off for always asking why. 30 years later? It’s the most important question in my life. Never stop wondering.
Pale Pink
The colour of royals and roses. Of power and presence. Of priceless jewels and palaces. Of your ever-wandering, ever-wondering mind.
Courage
This one’s kind of simple: We say to you, little one: be a warrior, not a princess. Be a wise man, not a soldier.
Red
Think of fat, juicy strawberries; big red buses heading for adventure; fields of swaying poppies; that certain shade of your auntie’s lipstick. Big, blazing bravery. It’s always inside you.
Love
Just remember little bébé - you are the love of your life. True love goes through you, and on to every person you meet. There’s no shortage of this magic. If you can love yourself, you can show love to everyone else. And that’s why they love you.
Pink
A colour to make you swoon. Think of juicy raspberries on a summer’s afternoon; candyfloss skies at dusk; the most-used Crayon in the box; the exploding branches of a cherry blossom tree.
Kindness
We don’t know everyone’s stories. Sometimes, you’ve got to show kindness to get to the core. A helping hand; a listening ear; a lesson passed on. Kindness goes a long way. It can make people fly. And don’t forget to always, always be kind to yourself along the way.
Pale Blue
Imagine the fluttering wings of a butterfly, a knot of pale blue silk, a delicate duck’s egg or a summer’s sky with a veil of cloud. This is the colour of gentle kindness - nothing loud, nothing chaotic. Just space for someone special.
Honesty
This one takes guts and heart. It will be your best friend and sometimes your annoying older sibling. But it always comes out on top. You’ll need to learn (and unlearn) all you know to be your true self. Be honest with everyone around you - but most of all be honest with yourself.
Blue
Still water, big skies, tears of laughter and trouble, the deepest whirlpools, the tiles of a faraway kingdom. The colour you see when you close your eyes. The colour of truth.
Determination
You got this little bébé. Afraid? That's ok. Fearing something, then coming out the other side, will be the making of you. Your drive is contagious.
Deep Blue
Swirling, flying, soaring; deep blue is Mother Nature's shade. It's the colour of the deepest waves of the ocean, blue stone glinting from an ancient rock or the scorching desert sky. Wave after wave. It's an unstoppable colour.
Empathy
You’ve always understood others. Right from your first days. You can’t quite unwind unless you know everyone is ok. It’s what draws people to you. And what always will.
Lilac
The most soothing of shades. A sleepy head full of lavender, a cluster of impossible clouds at sunset, the calm of quartz.
Resilience
That first step you took (or are yet to take). Your loved ones think you’re a little genius. But it didn’t just happen. You fell over again and again, and had to pick yourself up when you did. Sometimes you giggled and other times you cried. But you did it. Never stop picking yourself up my lil bébé. A little resilience gets you a long way in this world.
Green
This is the colour of nature at its richest and realest. Grass growing in the sun and precious jewels. The land we stand on from far away, the rarest eyes.
Happiness
Let the world see your sunshine. Burst with light for everyone that you meet. You are sunlight. Let your sunlight shine through your whole body, from your fingers to your toes. Think of honey on toast at gran’s house.
Yellow
What other colour makes us feel this way? Sunlight, cornfields, glinting gold and burning bright. Yellow is the colour of all the feelings too good to keep in - all the brilliance of life and lightness of living.
Curiosity
