"There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes." A phrase often used in the Nordics when trying to get the kids outdoors to play. It’s a phrase I grew up with being from Denmark, it’s in my DNA. I feel grateful that I was subjected to it as I ended up having many great outdoor adventures as a child.

We lived next to some woodlands, we played hide and seek, dug for treasures, and even had our own “secret” caves. I also proudly ate an “unknown” mushroom and broke both my wrists falling from a rope swing. My mum was not too impressed. To her relief, it was indeed the edible penny bun I had consumed and not a poisonous fly agaric. I on the other hand became the cool kid cycling to school with both arms in a cast.

It was an eventful childhood and we were out in all weather. However, I admit as I became older I quickly learned the comfort of staying in with hot chocolate (read: wine), hearty food, blankets, and the TV on. Perhaps I am not alone?I lived my life comfortably like that until it became obvious I needed to move more and get outdoors again.

"There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes." which as it turns out is still true even with the fine British weather.I feel much better having re-discovered the outdoors and perhaps this is the reason why, I am so excited about introducing the Sittingsuit to the UK. An eco-friendly product that really encourages spending more time outside. We often hear our customers are indeed wanting to be outdoors for longer.

Mel from Ashford said about the Sittingsuits: "They are perfect when you want to spend more time outdoors”

Jeanett who went on a staycation to Isle of Harris, were able to stay out for longer she said: “known for changeable weather we used them nearly every day to sit in the dunes with a flask of coffee”

Michelle from Shepperton shared: “My Sittingsuit has become even more useful with social distanced outdoor catch-ups”

We absolutely love to get this feedback, often these stories are accompanied by lovely pictures shared with us. Please keep them coming.

In this enlightening interview, we delve into the artistic world of Rosso Emerald Crimson, a painter renowned for her vibrant creations and nuanced narratives.

Merging her background in International Communications and Human Rights, Rosso's work challenges societal norms and cultural biases, offering intriguing glimpses into the female psyche. Her collaboration with Sittingsuits brings her art into the realm of fashion, transforming her beloved designs into wearable art pieces. Influenced by yoga, meditation, and nature, Rosso's work stimulates senses often suppressed in our daily lives. While maintaining her artistic integrity, she navigates the commercial art industry with grace, welcoming feedback to refine her narratives and styles. With upcoming exhibits at Barcelona's MEAM Museum and the international Artdom project, Rosso continues to leave her mark on the global art scene. Read on to learn more about her artistic journey and inspirations.

Born in Istanbul, Özlem Thompson had a passion for art from a very young age. However, after completing her undergraduate degree in biology and obtaining a master's degree in botany, she decided to pursue her art career. Her background in biology and organic structures strongly influenced her art, and she became known for abstracting natural forms to convey concepts from her subconscious.

Özlem draws her inspiration from nature, including her eight years of studying biology, from single-celled organisms to entire ecosystems, evolution, microbiology, and her own imagination. She believes that art must come from within a person before they can incorporate it into their work, and that artistic people have a unique way of seeing the world.
In today's fast-paced world, it's hard to come up with a product that genuinely solves a problem while being sustainable and innovative. Sittingsuits, the brainchild of Rebecca Johansen and Vibe Johansson, is one such product that has made a significant impact in various industries by rethinking the way people experience the outdoors.

Rebecca Johansen, CEO of Sittingsuits ApS and owner of Axelhus & Axelbar in Elsinore, Denmark, has been an experienced restaurateur for over 16 years. With 450 outdoor seatings combined, she faced the challenge of keeping her guests warm and comfortable in all types of weather. While traditional solutions like outdoor heating and blankets offered some respite, they lacked the sustainability and effectiveness that Rebecca desired.
