Småfolk is old Scandinavian for 'little people' and is the name of another inspiring 'scandi' brand. This Dutch label is well loved for its funky retro all over prints, especially it's famous apple design. Their designs are much emulated and admired but no one does a repeat print quite like them. They have a nostalgia and innocence to them as well as being bright and fun. The garments are good quality which wash and wear very well which is important with messy active kids and makes them good value. The company believes in renewal and being a little bit different - both things I am passionate about. They use organic cottons which is to a GOTS standard, which simply means it is a 100% organic product. The use of organic cotton has far less impact on the environment and the cotton workers. Småfolk garments also comply to Ecotex standards meaning that they do not contain or segregate any harmful substances. You would be surprised how many children's clothes do contain harmful dyes and finishes, but more about that another time.
#ScandiChic #Småfolk #BoysFashion After living in Sweden I have a great love of Scandinavian design and especially some of their children's fashion brands. They are so fun and colourful ,maybe to brighten up their dark winter days? Polarn o Pyret is a bright and happy Swedish brand that are well known for their stripes. Their winter coats are perfect for the cold Swedish climate. They use organic cotton in their ECO collection which have a lower environmental impact. They also use recycled polyester from bottles or textile waste in their fleece jackets and recycled polyamide from fishing nets in their shell jackets and trousers. They have a strong sustainability ethos and are considered one of the greenest brands in the clothing industry. The 'boy wonder' is seen here sporting their wellies, coat and hat and as they are such good quality they can be handed down many times. They have some great all over printed long sleeved tops too and most of the range is unisex which again makes it easier for handing down so prolonging the product life.
#ScandiChic #PolarnOPyret #BoysFashion Well, hello there! Welcome to my first blog So what shall I talk about? Oh yeah, boys clothes… I love the UK high street and love shopping but I find it difficult to find cool clothes for my son. He is amazing and I want him to look amazing and to grow up with a love of fashion as I did. I don’t want him to look the same as all the other boys (as you can tell by his hairstyle!) I do manage to cobble together some funky outfits by buying a few nice pieces from particular labels and then shopping around them on the high street. This is what I tend to do with my own wardrobe too but I have soooo much more choice. Anyway, I thought I could start off by showing some of those outfits and talking about where they came from… I loved these dungarees on him, they are so practical and cool. They are by Boy by Baker and the owl baby grow was from Lindex – a Swedish High street shop.
