Collectibles have always had a special place in childhood. The thrill of opening something new, the joy of completing a set, the pride of owning something unique. But what if collecting could offer more than excitement?

What if it could actually teach skills, build confidence, and spark lifelong creativity?

Via Pia Collectible Fabrics were created with exactly that intention: to blend the magic of collectibles with the real-world benefits of crafting and entrepreneurship. Here’s why our fabrics stand out as one of the most intentional, skill-building collectibles a girl can have.

1. The Blind-Box Excitement Keeps Kids Engaged and Inspired

Children adore the thrill of opening something unknown - it’s why blind-box toys are wildly popular. Via Pia takes this excitement and channels it into something purposeful.

Each fabric is a surprise: a new print, a new story, a new creative possibility. This natural sense of anticipation keeps girls returning to their projects again and again, turning crafting into a joyful ritual rather than a one-time activity.

Where many toys lose their spark after a week, Via Pia Fabrics keep the excitement alive.

2. Kids Learn Natural Business Concepts Like Value and Rarity

With three rarity tiers (common, rare, and ultra rare), children begin to understand concepts like supply, demand, pricing, and value simply by interacting with their fabrics.

• Ultra rare fabrics feel special and can be saved for their best creations
• Common fabrics are great for everyday products or bulk sales
• Rare fabrics teach children how to position items or price them thoughtfully

These are real business lessons disguised as play. Children don’t just collect, they strategise, gaining confidence in their decision-making and creativity.

3. Working With Fabric Teaches a Lifelong Skill

Fabrics offer far more than just pretty patterns. They open the door to a useful skill: sewing.

Whether she’s:

• A complete beginner hand-sewing her first scrunchie,
• A crafty tween learning how different materials behave, or
• A young entrepreneur mastering the sewing machine,

she’s building a practical skill that grows with her.

Sewing develops:

• Fine motor skills
• Patience
• Creativity
• Problem-solving
• A sense of independence

And unlike many children’s hobbies, sewing has endless potential. There’s always something new to learn, make, or improve.

4. Fabrics Are Compact, Practical, and Clutter-Free

Many collectibles take up shelves, storage boxes, or entire bedrooms - and eventually end up forgotten in a drawer.

Via Pia Fabrics are intentionally compact.

Each 45x55cm fat quarter folds neatly away, takes up very little space, and can be transformed into something useful.

This makes it the perfect collectible for parents who want:

• Less clutter
• More creativity
• Items that get used, not stored

It’s the rare collectible that adds value rather than mess.

5. Even Without the Business Side, They’re Still Beautifully Useful

Not every child wants to start a mini business - and that’s perfectly okay.

Via Pia Fabrics were designed to support every kind of creativity. They can be easily turned into bandanas, scrunchies or even small accessories.

Even without the entrepreneurial angle, the fabrics can be celebrated and crafted with. No additional skills required, just a love for making pretty things.

The Collectible With Purpose

Via Pia Fabrics aren’t just something to collect, they’re something to create with.

They’re practical, inspiring, skill-building, and exciting in a way most children’s products simply aren’t.

For girls who want to take their creativity even further, the Via Pia Junior Business Guidebook pairs perfectly with the fabrics, teaching them how to brand, price, market, and launch their own mini business with confidence.

Our Via Pia Collectible Fabrics are arriving next year.
