Katvig and recycled cotton

May 24, 2010 by Scandinavian mum

Always in the lead, Katvig is proud to introduce recycled cotton, a brilliant new way to make use of the enormous amounts of cotton that would normally go to waste. 25 percent of the world’s pesticides are used on cotton, 40 percent of all cotton goes straight in the bin as pure waste.
The result is a different material that is softer and lighter. I find it quite reassuring to know that leading fashion designer companies has such a strong emphasis on environmental care.
And talking of Katvig, their High Summer 2010 collection is out! Set shown underneath is in organic cotton, choose between pink or green.

Pure underwear -pure joy

May 7, 2010 by Scandinavian mum

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?!?

KSBKids Children’s Clothes and Dr Seuss

March 14, 2010 by Scandinavian mum

Recently a ksbkids customer made the comment that looking at their website reminded him of Dr. Seuss. And then of course they were wondering whether this was a compliment or not. They are after all known for lots of stripy, bright coloured children’s clothes. But I can’t help liking the comment and regarding it as very positive.
Children wearing comfortable, fun and bright clothing would probably after an adventurous day, like Dr.Seuss, say: ”Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.”

Ksbkids have listed their 10 favorite Dr. Seuss quotes on their website. Here are the top 3 presented:

1. “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself, any direction you choose.”
2. “Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.”
3. “From there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere.”

For more Dr Seuss quotes and stripy children’s clothes check out ksbkids.com or follow their KSBkids blog.
