That homely feeling of the calm amidst the storm

It’s summer. I had just had a really rough week. I was working full time, studying full time and had academic commissions with very tight deadlines due. At the same time my beloved in-laws had made a surprise appearance in the UK. I had just given birth to my first child a few months prior - and they had never seen her before. One day, after I finished work I drove to the city they were staying in, it's usually a 4 hour drive - but with a newborn and all the stops we had to take, we arrived at 4am. I started work at 7am that same day. I was exhausted and sleep deprived, but didn’t want to cancel last minute, so I was determined to keep up with my commissions and studies. This was around the same time that BAATICO launched their first collection. With everything going on, I had totally forgotten about my order. A few days later I drove back to London absolutely shattered, hot, sticky and bothered (UK summer heat is just not the one 😅)!

As I parked up in front of the house I took a short moment to just breathe - my daughter had fallen asleep and it was now time for me to go and prepare the house as I was expecting guests later that evening. 

I opened the front door and was greeted by a parcel from BAATICO, I smiled as I pictured Warda's smile ♥️.

The parcel was beautifully wrapped and the smell was insane 😍 the fabric was so soft, silky and breathable. It was just perfect.

To some it may just be a comfortable piece of clothing but to me, it was a peaceful moment to enjoy, with everything going on. My baati is connected with that memory - 12th Aug 11:16pm. 

That homely feeling of the calm amidst the storm ♥️ it came from the care taken to create, package and send these wonderful products. They're more than just clothing, they're comfort. Wherever you may be, whatever is going on - it makes you feel at home.
