I'd have loved one of these when I was little... Proper tents just seemed a bit geeky...!

Native play designs is a small, Wales-based company, who make the most beautifully hand-crafted tipis from a range of fantastic fabrics.

We fuelled-up and took a drive over to Native Play's Newport base to meet Beth, the company's owner. After having been warmed up with a coffee & chocolate brownie, Beth showed us where the tipis are made and we even got to sit in a soon-to-be-released larger-sized tipi... If it wasn't a prototype, we would have tried to take it away with us for sure!

It was great to see Beth's operationand witness the amount of care that goes into crafting these tipis. We're really proud to be distributing the tipis @ Bau Outdoors and look forward to seeing Beth's future creations!
