The Zipster Design Challenge 2025 — Meet This Year’s Winner!
“Sicilian Summer” by Guilia M.

When we launched the second annual Zipster Design Challenge, we hoped to see some of your creativity. What we didn’t expect was to be overwhelmed — again — by the beauty, brilliance, and boldness of your ideas.

Over 250 entries poured in from all corners of the world, each one uniquely celebrating what makes childhood magical. After many rounds of voting (and a few heated internal debates!), our community crowned one stand-out winner…

🍋 The Winning Design: Sicilian Summer 🍋

By Giulia M.

Inspired by the warm hues and zesty spirit of the Mediterranean, Sicilian Summer bursts with color and nostalgia. Giulia describes her design as "capturing the essence of our season, our land and our art"/ 

Her goal? To bottle up that sunshine and wrap it around our littlest ones.

And we think she nailed it.

Bright, joyful, and unmistakably Italian, the Sicilian Summer Zipster is packed with hand-painted lemons, tiny blossoms, and playful swirls — a joyful celebration of Giulia's heritage and the whimsical world of childhood.

Coming Soon to Zipster

We’re thrilled to be bringing Sicilian Summer into production, with the design launching in July in our classic Zipster bamboo fabric.

Available in baby sizes, with matching options on the way, this print is one for the memory books.

A Huge Thank You

To every artist who submitted — thank you. Whether you sent us a napkin sketch or a polished design file, you brought your heart and soul to this challenge, and we saw it.

We can’t wait to keep building this creative tradition together.

See you in next year’s challenge!
