When we kicked off the 2025 Zipster Design Challenge, we had no idea just how much creativity was coming our way. Over 200 of you picked up your pencils, tablets, and paints to bring your dream Zipster designs to life.
Our team carefully shortlisted five stunning finalists, and then it was up to you, our community, to vote for your favourite. And the winner? The bold, beautiful, sunshine-soaked masterpiece: Sicilian Summer by Giulia M.
Inspired by Home, Made for Zipster
Giulia's design is a heartfelt tribute to her Sicilian roots - bursting with citrus, colour, and character. She told us:
“Summer in Sicily is colour and character, the scent of food and citrus in the air. My son is pure Sicilian summer, so I wanted to capture the essence of our season, our land, and our art in this design for Zipster”
From hand-painted lemons and sunbursts to traditional tile motifs, her design radiates warmth and joy.
For Babies & Toddlers - And Now Mums Too
We’ve brought Sicilian Summer to life in our beloved bamboo Zipsters and toddler two-pieces, made for soft skin and sunny play. But this year, we’ve added something special: matching bamboo pyjamas for mums, so you can share the sunshine.
Limited Edition
This print is part of our Zipster Artist Editions series — which means once it’s gone, it’s gone.
If you love bold prints, beautiful stories, and twinning moments with your little one, this drop is for you.
