Like most, we are concerned with the availability of critical PPE during the Covid crisis, especially face masks. After being shoved in a purse, a glove box, a pocket or whatever, we too were reusing our disposable masks to “protect” the face from dangerous bacteria, particles and germs. We had friends and family making lovely fabric face masks that were comfortable to wear but they could only make so many with limited resources (excuse the pun- but one sewing machine wasn’t cutting it) and limited time of course. We saw kids in public places that weren’t wearing masks and we knew we needed to do something. So we thought of a way to come up with something fun to wear while staying safe and putting our team to work! Perhaps masks could be fun to wear? Maybe face masks could be the new fashion trend of 2020 and beyond. We began work on our animal mask designs with unique 3-D features. We fine-tuned every detail, even the liner- making sure it repelled dangerous particles yet could be washed. We tested them. We wore them. We washed them. And…we love them! More importantly, we are certain you will too. The raccoon has fuzzy eyes. The pig has a mouth in a different textured fabric. The elephant ears are 3-D. The rabbit has teeth that stick out. Kids found these masks fun to wear and they actually wanted to wear them! Our wash-and-reuse AniMasks repel particles yet are nice and lightweight. So naturally, adults like them too. Not to mention, they are great conversation starters. After washing in cold water and laying flat to dry, the fabric maintains its bacteria repelling element. Buy a few for yourself and your loved ones. For larger quantity orders and custom orders, please contact our wholesale department. Stay safe and have fun.
