Pure underwear -pure joy

Scandinavian mum — Fri, 07 May 2010 10:47:16 +0000

Wear bamboo and soy – wear the absolute best. Lilleba offers underwear for children that has the ultimate in design, comfort, and look.

Clothes worn against the skin should be soft, with a minimal amount of seams and free from itching tags. The Norwegian design team Silje Sivertsen and Nina Eikerol combine Nordic traditions and a clear cut look with the most modern qualities. They also consider a safe production of clothes under conditions favourable to people as well as the environment.
This underwear is especially recommended for children with sensitive skin or eczema. As for soy, besides being soft as cashmere, it is a vegetable protein fiber with qualities similar to those of wool. It is also UV protective 50+. The fabrics do not contain formaldehyde, which can cause both allergy and cancer.

Amélie and Beatrice has a underwear set each from Lilleba consisting of a spaghetti strap vest and matching briefs. And they are so excited about how soft it is, how warm and dry they feel and the cut and style -we simply have to get hold of more! It’s not the cheapest -but well worth it.
I’ll definitely be considering Lilleba’s nightwear collection while I’m at it. And maybe something for mummy too?!?

Beatrice had to have a new raincoat, and as it’s important to us that a raincoat actually is rainproof and breathable at the same time it can be a challenge to find.

There is without a doubt a resemblance between the the new Starters shoes from Angulus and The Scandinavian Dads nearly 33 year old first shoes.

Angulus Starters for those first steps

Children usually starts walking sometime between seven months and two years of age. When babies start standing and walking on their own they are ready for their first walking shoes. Things are a bit wobbly to start with, but improvements will come soon enough.There are some activities to help your baby and toddler develop walking skills like crawling together, walking on uneven surfaces like sand and climbing which is great for coordination, independence and muscle development. Babies feet don’t have bones, just soft cartilage. Well fitted soft and flexible shoes offering lots of support are therefor recommended at this delicate stage. Choose shoes designed to match the shape of a child’s foot, with a wide front and narrow heel that allow growing room around the toes. And by choosing leather shoes your babies tiny feet will have increased comfort, allowing perspiration to escape through the surface of the shoe. And what we think is very important; Don’t hand shoes down from one child to another, because two pairs of feet are never the same shape! For us as parents it can be an emotional moment seeing your child in their first pair of walking shoes, but make sure they combine style, quality and fit. Never compromise on fit, because a toddler’s nerve endings are not developed yet so they may not notice a painful constriction, and may not be able to complain even if they do. Children’s feet can grow really quickly so make sure to check their feet and size regularly.
Danish Angulus has launched Angulus Starter, with a perfect fit for babies. Angulus was founded in 1904 and their shoes are therefor not only made with love an care but also more than 100 years of experience. Angulus Starters are flexible and will support your child’s feet and making those first step a moment of true joy and happiness. Available in size 18 – 23 in colours like camel, off white, red, pale pink, chocolate, black and silver.

I Dig Denim

Scandinavian mum — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 07:00:57 +0000

And yes I do! Who hasn’t got a relationship to denim? But I Dig Denim is not only my statement it’s also a brand new designer name for children’s wear from Scandinavia. Swedish based I Dig Denim have received a warm welcome so far. Milla Milano stated: ”The coolest jeans were some I bought from a new Swedish brand, it’s going to be a success.”
The founder and head of design Hanna Clavegaard noticed that the market lacked a unique, exciting jeans brand for the little ones:

”I have always loved jeans, from the character of the fabric to how it can be shaped and adapted according to style and taste. Denim is timeless, easy to wear and practical. With my brand I want to give all children what I love. It’s simple: I dig denim.”

I Dig Denim produces their collection, available for babies, boys and girls up to 10 years, according to the Fairtrade principles. With the first collection only consisting of a few items it’s a humble start, but there is more to come. All in denim, of course.

I Dig Denim is jeans with attitude, for small people with big personalities.
