Little Scandinavian

We met this little fellow in a playground near Soho yesterday, extremely cute and adventures, playing imaginative games with a few new pigeon friends he had made.

Dressed very comfortable and yet with an understated urban style in danish clothes -in fact after a quick chat with his mum I found out they were danish!

This little guy was wearing a cool tshirt from Molo and shoes from Portuguese label RAP, a brand that has been available in Denmark for more than 30 years. I’m not quite sure about what jeans he was wearing, but I really liked the casual turn-up style.

How to get the look:

Any funky stripy or and bold print t-shirt from Katvig or Molo will work.
We recommend I Dig Denim or Rockefella jeans but any favourite comfy pair is perfect.
Choose leather sandals of good quality, like Angulus or Bisgaard.

Mid-season sale is now on at several online shops with fantastic discounts on a variety of labels.

Little Hills stock fun and funky labels like Tiny Minymo, Holly’s, Molo, Katvig, Ej Sikke Lej, Duns, Ida T, H.J.O.R.T. and Moccis for children 0 – 6 years old. They offer 15% off on all stock until 8th of June.

Spruced Goose offers you labels like Mini A Ture and Me Too with up to 50% off.

Danish label Malou Barre has their own webshop and are currently offering 20% off on all stock. If you like nostalgic and romantic clothing it’s worth having a look.

Scottish Bohemia Design offers up to 50% off on labels like Molo, Mini A Ture, Katvig and Okker Gokker.

Let us know if you know about a sale that should be mentioned!

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.

Just loving the Casper T-Shirt in bright colours by Mini A Ture.

It’s all about exquisite attention to detail and gorgeous colour mixes.

I’m just loving the traditional Katvig apple pattern. And this blue body warmer is no exception. So versatile as the temperature jumps up and down. Wear with tee and scruffy jeans or on those really cold days with woolen knit sweater, scarf, hat and gloves.
Bright midi apple print all over with a navy trim and reflective piping.

It’s already December, and by now most Scandinavian babies and toddlers, in fact most children up to school age will be dressed in a snowsuit when outdoors. There are some great snowsuits on the market, and every year they are thoroughly tested for water resistance, durability etc for parents that want to be sure that their little one can stay warm and dry when playing outisde.
In Norway the children would wear wool tights, socks and top , and wool or fleece one suit and a waterproof rain set on top. Wool products warm and insulate children’s bodies in both cold and wet weather. Wool also regulates body heat, keeping children comfortable on milder days. Scandinavian children usually change from rain sets to snowsuit when the temperature drops down to a few plus degrees or less.
There are a lot of Scandinavian snowsuits on the market. Didriksons, Fransa, Hollys, Hummel, Katvig, Lego, Mini a Ture, Minymo, Molo, Name It, Småfolk, Ticket To Heaven, Ver de Terre and Wheat to mention some.
Of all the Scandinavian brands I think Ticket to Heaven is very nice. But Wheat has some very nice ones as well. Katvig and Molo has a bit more trendy retro look. In other words something for every one’s taste and need.
A colder climate requires warmer clothes. However it can be quite cold in the UK as well. And a few british shops do stock proper snowsuits.Nordic Kids stock a few, from Molo and from Mini Rodini. Rose and Robin stock snowsuits from Cupcake and Molo.
Viking Kids stock some very warm snowsuits from Didriksons and Isbjorns of Sweden. This is probably the snowsuits you would consider if you are going to visit Lapland this Christmas.
