Celebs Everywhere LOVE Plain Mary & So Will You!
By this point, every one of you has to have heard of Plain Mary, right?!?! It’s causing a little hysteria on the baby scene in LA these days, as everyone just HAS to have one of Plain Mary’s Kensington Play Mats for their little one(s) and their other Plain Mary essentials like their tees, bibs and burp cloths too! Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have them for Knox and Vivienne. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have them for little Max and Emme. Jennifer Garner, Heidi Klum, Brooke Shields, Nicole Ritchie, Uma Thurman, and more have all used them with their babies too! In short, if there was one single baby item that everyone in-the-know just could not live without, Plain Mary’s Kensington Play Mat would have to be it.
We first saw the Kensington Play Mat at a trade show in New York last fall. We thought it was beautiful, but didn’t really see it up close to be able to appreciate the real reasons that it has become SUCH a success for Plain Mary! After seeing a recent sample and putting it through our little battery of textiles tests, we can see why it’s so popular and an amazing product totally worth the $190 price tag.
It’s not just your average play mat, which is apparent from the beginning. Where are the toys? Where are the cutesy characters and patterns? How about the chimey-digitized “music” that is sure to drive you nuts? You’ll find none of those things here. What you will find is twice the size of a traditional play mat! It’s B.Y.O.T., but we like that since it can be overstimulating to have the usual ten different toys suspended overhead anyway! The fabric is the most luxurious microfiber and it is virtually impossible to stain. It is very cushy with the thick quilted padding, hard for little hands to grasp (so it stays in place) and is surely one of the most useful things that you could have for your little one!
What we love most is the fact that after repeated wash and drys, stain tests, and more, not only does it look great, IT STILL LOOKS NEW!!! That’s amazing, and we really do try! We love the sturdy stitching in the quilting and the silk threaded embroidery is just luscious.
