Hello! We are Laura y Gregorio
Founders of OCAMORA and now official distributros of PLAY SILKIES in Europe
If we had to think of a date to mark the start of our adventure, we would choose the year 2004. However telling you our story would be way too long, so here’s a brief summary…
In the last 12 years our family has grown steadily: 3 sons and one daughter. Almost without noticing, play returned to our lives.
So much that in January 2016 we started to handcraft wooden toys. Working as self employed has allowed us to balance our work and personal life, and have a lot of family quality time.
We have always loved observing how our children play and what they use for their games. One of their favourite props has always been the grandma’s scarves, so when we found the opportunity to bring Play Silkies to the European market, it was an easy decision to make.
More than just a cape, a play scene or a game, PLAY SILKIES benefit the growth of the whole child through the development of cognitive ability, motor skills and family relationships. Children are naturally drawn to PLAY SILKIES because of their bright colours and sensory qualities. Through play they are able to ignite their imagination, creativity and curiosity, which in turn leads to endless play opportunities. We hope when playing with our Silkies you will create lasting memories for your family and foster special bonds in the same way our family has.
Australian design
PLAY SILKIES has been fully designed by Kate and John Rainbow, a lovely couple that has dedicated their lives to education,
During a visit to a Chinese school, they received a piece of traditional silk as a gift. Years later, when their first daughter was born, this piece of silk became part of her daily play in a natural way. This experience encouraged them to create their own label and design.

100% natural silk
Play Silkies manufactures their playsilks in China, where the silk tradition dates back to 3000 BC. Thousands of years later, this amazing country is still one of the best silk manufacturers in the world.
The Play silkies measure approximately 90x90cm and are made with 8mm (momme) 100% natural Habotai silk. This silk is created with thin, bright, very soft filaments, which makes it a high quality silk.
