ABOUT US

I am a creative and I love to create things, so this idea of starting up Cabin has always been around. The idea has morphed a lot over the years, but after I had kids I could see that there where some things missing in the south African market. Things I had seen and absolutely loved from my trend research of European and US markets, things we did not have here yet.

My first product I designed and manufactured was our original flower press. This has also consistently been our best seller. I love this product, as it really is the essence of what I believe Cabin stands for – Connect with nature, explore, create and play.

Connection being the first part of this whole adventure…

After having kids and seeing how fast paced life can be, I could start to see how our connection not only to nature was being lost but our connection to each other. Looking back on how I grew up in the 80’s, we didn’t have TV, and when there was TV it was very limited, so we had to get outside and play… use our imagination, go to a mates house on our BMX, climb trees, explore etc.. there weren’t video games, social media, TV programs 24hrs a day and I could go on and on..

So I wanted to remind people that we need to make an effort to reconnect with nature. To teach our children where they can find grounding and inner peace – in nature. I also knew we all need some help with this and having the right tools to do so makes it a lot easier to make the time for it.

So the flowerPress is all of this rolled into one product…

There are so many points of connection with our kids

My name is Chrissy and I’m a mama to two girls, a wife and designer … and now entrepreneur.

This journey started a couple of years ago, when I wanted to provide toys and tools to encourage kids and their parents to get outdoors and explore.. to look to nature to inspire, and to create opportunities for families to bond through play and exploration.

I also wanted the toys to be educational at the same time, so learning through play was hugely important.

I have carefully curated some products from all over the world, and will bring them here for you and your family to enjoy.

I have also designed and developed our own range of products, in the hope of supporting our incredible local manufacturers. We are a proudly South African company supporting local first..

Thank you for your love ad support of this brand and I cant wait to see how you and your family explored with Cabin..

Don’t forget to tag us in your posts – #cabinkidssa , and i will share your images with the rest of the community.

Warmest

Chrissy.
