Lobster Season: Mini-Me Sweatshirts for Long Summer Days

Summer holidays don't need a countdown. You feel them coming — longer evenings, sandy shoes by the door, the smell of sunscreen that never quite washes out.

This year, we're marking the season with our Lobster — and a full Mini-Me lineup built for the beach, the boat, and every lazy afternoon in between.

Why a Lobster?

Lobsters don't rush. They take their time, claws up, completely unbothered.

That's the exact mood of a good summer holiday — no school run, no schedule, just long days that stretch out however they want to. Our Lobster Sweatshirt is our answer to that feeling: bold, a little cheeky, impossible to take too seriously. Exactly what a sweatshirt should be in Summer

Built for Salt Air and Late Nights

The Lobster Sweatshirt is cut from the same GOTS-certified organic cotton as every CHIO MI piece — soft enough for evenings by the water, sturdy enough to survive a full day of running barefoot on sand.

Layer it over a swimsuit once the sun dips. Throw it over shoulders on the boat. Wear it as the one thing that stays in the beach bag from June through September.

Mini-Me, Explicitly

This season, we're leaning fully into Mini-Me dressing — parent and child in the same Lobster print, matched on purpose, no apology.

Mini-Me style isn't about making kids look like small adults. It's the reverse: it lets the whole family borrow a little of a child's playfulness for a day. One print, two (or three, or four) sizes. Same Lobster from toddler to parent.

How to wear it as a family:

• Match the print, not the outfit. One person in the sweatshirt, another in the matching pillow or accessory — no need for everyone in the exact same piece.
• Save it for the photo-worthy days. Beach walks at golden hour, the last day of the holiday, grandparents visiting. Mini-Me works best when it marks a moment.
• Let the kids lead. Ask them to pick the print, then match into it — not the other way around.

Why It Works for Summer Gifting Too

A Mini-Me set makes an easy, no-guesswork gift for anyone travelling with family this summer — grandparents heading to the coast, godparents packing for a shared holiday, or parents treating themselves to matching with their kids for once.

Unlike a beach toy or a single-season swimsuit, the Lobster Sweatshirt moves from May mornings to September evenings — and comes home for another summer next year.

Every CHIO MI piece is designed for kids who have an opinion — and for the parents who happily match them. 

This summer, claws up.
