Every child secretly wishes that they were a superhero. There comes a time in a child’s life that they like to pretend that they are a superhero and have started flying.

This is especially true and surreal for them as soon as they watch one of the innumerous number of superhero movies like Superman, Spiderman or Wonder Woman or Captain Marvel, etc.

As soon as these characters wear a cape, they get super powers. So when a child wears this kind of cape, it is only natural that they feel the same.

Pretend play is one of the most important aspect of a child’s play. My 8 years old daughter, Shaman started carrying around one of our bed linen and acting like a super heroine. This was as soon as she saw one of the characters in an animated movie flying. I knew immediately that I had to make a cape for her. This is how this Superpower Cape was born.
