Moccis, hand made Scandinavian indoor shoes

March 15, 2012 by Scandinavian mum

Discover the essential moccasin slippers, the Moccis. No more slipping and sliding, no more cold feet and missing socks and no more dirty shoes indoors. Each pair of Moccis are made by hand with delicate hand stitching, perfect at home, on holiday, at the nursery and at the playgroup.
With a background in fashion the London based Swede Anna Wetterlin thought it would be great fun to introduce the moccasins to the UK with her very own design. From sweet kittens to scary lions and London buses, available in baby, junior and adult sizes. Price from £18 and they ship world wide if it’s not available in your local store.

Moccasins is the most common indoor shoe for children in Scandinavia, and most Scandinavian children have a pair. Moccis as a brand seems to be of very good quality and fit. Both my girls wears them around the house without me asking (and this is the girls I need to fight out of their dirty school uniforms!) Little a has the cute Mr Pengy Brr and little B has the Kiss, perfect for a tween girl.
They stay on the feet and seem to be warm and snugly. The soft leather sole allows movement and at the same time ensuring a good grip on slippery floors. We love the fact that they are machine washable, and after several washes still look great. In fact, I think they will last long enough to be handed down, so well worth the price! Only obstacle is to choose your favourite!

Manolo Blahnik and Angulus

February 14, 2012 by Scandinavian mum

The Danish shoe brand Angulus founded in 1904 has more than 100 years of experience and are known for high quality leather shoes with a comfortable fit for the baby taking it’s very fist steps and all the way up to adult sizes.

Did you know that Angulus has brought in a experienced design talent to step into the new century of Angulus shoes?

We met with Angulus at CPH kids a few weeks ago and they introduced us to their new designer, Marianne Britt Jorgensen, a rather interesting and lovely designer; Like when I picked up my Normann Copenhagen cardholder she said excitingly: I made that!
She seemed to be focused on creating something new and innovative still with a fondness and a humble approach of the heritage of the danish family company, she felt the importance to be inspired by the more than 100 year old gold mine of a shoe archive at Angulus. We wish we could dip into that archive too!
Marianne Britt has studied at the Royal College of Art and Design in London and she’s worked for several larger brands as a design consultant. She’s also known for being photographed for the fashion magazine Harpers & Queen with the master Manolo Blahnik, after being singled out as a talent he believed in. Well done, Angulus for hiring such a promising designer!

Find out more about the design talent’s experience, interests and passions at mariannebritt.com We recommend following her journey at Angulus.dk And hopefully we’ll meet again on our next visit to the Fashion Capital.

And perhaps we’ll see Angulus teaming up with Blahnik in the future? Exciting times ahead for little fashionistas!
Meanwhile we are very much enjoying the spring and summer news for 2012 by Angulus, in stores now.

Girl leather boots in grey a proper show-stopper for this season

October 21, 2011 by Scandinavian mum

Little A was hopping happy this morning, wearing her brand new leather boots. It’s Non Uniform Day at school since it’s the last day before half term -and all you with children that wears uniform at school would know what a treat that is!

Babysteps.dk is a Danish online shop that sells a geat selection of children’s shoes in all sizes from brands like Bundgaard, Petit by Sofie Schnoor and many other of our favourites. They also stock Dutch brand, Shoesme, winner of the award “Cool Kids Brand” in 2008 -also worth checking out!

Little A got a pair of Shoesme grey leather boots this week. Our order was made Thursday night, dispatched from Babysteps.dk on Friday and arrived at our house in London the following Monday -oh how I love the Internet!

The quality is superb, comparable to the slightly more traditional Danish Angulus, made in high quality leather, soft lined inside and rubber soles to avoid water (and snow). Little A said her feet felt really warm, even when the temperature dropped to nearly freezing the other day.
The finish of the boots are exquisite like everything from the colour of the boot -like a grey-blue almost shiny distressed (hard to describe but we’ve received so many compliments already!) the buckle detail, the sole and even the inside stitches are done with such and attention to detail.
Here’s a snap shot of Little A on her way to School this am. I’ll make sure to take a few more pictures when she comes home.

Finger in the Nose Nordic trend for AW11

July 22, 2011 by Scandinavian mum

Fair Isle knit, checked shirts and dresses, nature and animal prints and even Troll has made it on to some of the tee’s. No question that the Autumn Winter 2011 collection by the Norwegian designer behind the French based brand Finger in the Nose is influenced by Scandinavian traditions and the Nordic countries nature. We love the mix and match of pattern and fabrics that take this collection up to a more urban and modern level. We think this collection, arguable the best collection so far, shows that Finger in The Nose does a lot more than well fitted and cool jeans. www.fingerinthenose.com
Notice the fur boots in picture 4? It’s Selskinnstøvler or seal skin boots. The ultimate winter boots in Norway, made by the Norwegian brand Topaz is warm, long-lasting and very popular among Norwegians. www.topaz.no
