The Gentle Elephant
WHY WE LOVE IT
Made to Last & Pass Down
Quick-Dry Waffle Weave
Gentle on Sensitive Skin
Hand-Block-Printed
Product Info
The journey to the watering hole is complete, the pool day is over, and negotiations for "five more minutes" have officially begun. Gentle, hand-guided elephants wander across our unbleached waffle cotton in soft, happy color, capturing all the wonder of the very best storybook adventures. It is an artisanal take on post-swim comfort that celebrates big imaginations. The airy honeycomb texture keeps things warm without the bulk, and smooth, sensory-friendly edges make it their coziest, gentle-giant-approved uniform yet. Soft enough for every winding journey, from the water's edge to storytime.

Additionally, our 100% waffle cotton gently “blooms” (developing a soft texture and 2–4% shrinkage) after the first wash. We tailor our pieces generously to allow for this!
