Duchess and Lion - Cool kidswear made in the USA

Image
I love jumpsuits, it should be a mandatory item in every closet; babies, kids, adults... Well it certainly is in mine ;) It is such an easy and comfortable garment, perfect for wild play and at the same time adds a special coziness when chilling out at home. The new children's clothing label  Duchess and Lion makes some of the coolest jumpsuits for kids I have seen in a long time! Duchess and Lion is a family run business from San Francisco featuring vintage inspired designs with a modern twist. Everything is ethically made from scratch in the USA to ensure fair trade conditions for all the workers involved. They have a sense for picking out and combining exquisite fabrics, and I love the cool detail of actually using real, vintage war patches on some garments making them 100% unique.  Awesome, right? I have been crushing on this brand since I first discovered them in the lovely blog  Petit & Small  not so long ago. As you can see in the photos, they obviously make other garm

Today i wanted to show you a brand that has been on my to do list since I first discovered them early this summer...

Today I am really excited to show you a sneak peak from the super cool Australian kidswear brand Bandit Kids ' upcoming spring collection 2015 , only just released on their website , woohoo! I have written about Bandit Kids on  several occasions , cause it is a brand I am completely crazy about.

Great vintage colors and prints, and as always fantastic lifestyle photography full of ambiance.  The collection is inspired by past memories of long summer holidays with empty pools, faded plastic flamingos on the dry lawn, sticky ice cream melting onto your hands - A combination of classic vintage with a happy and warm summertime boredom feeling. Welcome to   the " Kingdom of Cool "... Oh yes, it's going to be awesome! And I am sure Bandit Kids are going to leak out more cool shots on their fabulous Instagram , which you canno

Very French Gangsters AW14 - Kids' handmade designer glasses

Oh yeah! Very French Gangsters has finally released their new Autumn-Winter 2014/15 kids collection of super funky, unique and, as always, very stylish handmade glasses and sunglasses.  Their high quality eyewear is the result of a well worked process where all the little details are cared for, making no compromise between comfort and fashion, and this is what has made the young brand a world wide favorite! They really have an incredible and distinct design and  I love their always fun way of presenting it, finally making the wearing of prescription glasses a super cool and playful aid for the kiddos, right!  Their look book is shot by the great  Katrina Tang  and all I can say is that it rocks!!!  Delicious detail with the Bobo Choses and Mini Rodini outfits!  The Very French Gangsters   website  seems to be down these days, so I have actually snatched these photos off their Facebook . I know they have a webshop also, so just keep on trying if you want to see the whole collection. I

Kira Kids Autum-Winter 2014/15 - Quirky kids clothes made in USA

Image
Kira Kids is another kidswear brand I have completely fallen head over heals for! I love their quirky, unisex style with fun illustrations and their new autumn collection 2014 is a blast. I have a thing for weird foods on kids clothes, so when I saw those pretzels and specially that hot dog with mustache and top hat, I just had to share it with you ;) Their AW14 'Big City' collection is inspired by the buzzing life in New York City, the typical street food munchies and the stories and adventures every street corner hides. Their super cool look book has a funky retro air and is shot by the ever brilliant Flannery O'Kafka and styled by Ashley Gibson . Nice, right?! On top of it, all of their garments are made in the USA and they use non-toxic water based ink for their prints. Swing by the Kira Kids website for more info or find your nearest stockist here .

Milk & Biscuits Autumn-Winter 2014/15 kids fashion collection

Image
I love the new Milk & Biscuits collection! It's a limited, but very well made collection with a cool mix of casual styles combined with more traditional cuts and always maintaining that special, quirky British flair. The Anglo-Chinese kids clothing brand was founded in 2013 by the experienced art director Kate Smith who fell in love with a Shangheinese man on one of her travels in Asia. Many years later and with a couple of kids in the middle, they came up with the lovely Milk & Biscuits. This season's look book is shot by the brilliant photographer Michelle Marshall . The scene is an old school 70's photo booth reviving those fun and crazy "retro selfie" moments. It is such a cool idea and completely sets the mood of the collection, it sure does leave most of us with a smirky smile on our face thinking back on those times, right?!  My two favorites from the Milk & Biscuits AW14 collection  are the cool  Herring bone denim sweatshirt  and that fab swe

Waddler Autumn-Winter 2014/15 kids fashion collection

Image
For this autumn/winter 2014/15 the lovely  Waddler family has moved on from their last Brazilian beach adventure  to the wilds of the Uruguayan pampas. Their quirky and oh so wonderful, new, vintage style collection is called ' The Outstanding Journey of the Waddler Caravan ' and is inspired by the old fashioned circuses that once traveled around those lands.  As always, their collection is made of luxurious baby alpaca yarn and soft organic cotton, but adding some new funky and very appropriate prints, if I might say, like the English bowler hat and the South American lama.     I love (=must have and need for little O.!) those cozy knit pants! And the fluffy Pierrot collars on the bigger boys are so much fun and really ad something special to that quirky, vintage style. Right now Waddler  is having an AMAZING  photo competition  where you can win nothing less than  1000£  for all of your favorite Waddler styles +  1000£ for an adventure in South America , oh là là!!!!!  That
