BOCK Cph is a Danish high-end brand for kids, founded in 2004, produces functional designer wear for children. It’s sophisticated garments for every day use.

The BOCK Cph collection is a combination of patterns from old knitting recipes, combined with international impressions and the cosines of the cold north. Every piece is designed with a minimalistic approach – but still with details that makes the difference! Only the best materials are being used, fine merino wool combined with soft cotton. The garments do not only have a luxury feel to it but is also washable and functional.

The autumn winter 2010 collection from Bock Cph is a bit more adventours than what we have seen previously, welcoming a variation of colours; Raspberry Red, Sand and Ice blue combined with the the more neutral and classic colours grey and brown.

Lucky Boy Sunday a lot more than cool and stylish

February 2, 2011 by Scandinavian mum

The Danish design label Lucky Boy Sunday had a lovely but very busy stand at Bubble London this January.


Great design surprises, it’s interesting and probably most importantly with attention to detail. In this case it’s more functional than what you would expect as well! The pillows from Lucky Boy Sunday are all made with an intriguing design, that appeals to our curiosity. Knitted in alpaca wool and unbelievable soft.
When you actually hold one of these pillows in your hands you’ll realise that this is more than a pillow and a stylish design piece: It’s a teddy bear, a blanket, a doll and a soft pillow all in one! And you find yourself wondering if adults can have one as well whilst deciding on which one to choose for your children.

On my wish list is BON BON BLUE by Lucky Boy Sunday. Available in pink, brown or blue. It’s 62 cm long and knitted in 100% alpaca wool.

Amélie likes stacking up all her dolls and teddies in bed with her at night. So she might need more than one…

The stand was so busy, I passed several times without being able to get in. So it clearly got a lot of attention. Now, wonder if I can find a shop that is not sold out.

22 of December, winner of a baby blanket by Lille Lam

December 22, 2010 by Scandinavian mum


The winner of 22th of December and a soft knitted baby blanket by LilleLam is

Natalie Goatley!

Congratulations! We have sent you an email! Will you please replay with your full name and address to us on:
post@littlescandinavian.com and one warming winter essential for your baby will be on it’s way to you!

Todays giveaway is warm, high quality baby blanket, knitted in soft merino wool, by LilleLam. A must have during such a frosty winter as now! Size 75 cm x 100 cm, retails for €82.

About Lille Lam
LilleLam was established by two newly-become-mothers finding it hard to get hold of garments for children in pure wool, with an outstanding and functional design, and which does not irritate the skin of the babies and children.
This was the beginning of LilleLam, producing high quality garments in close collaboration with Norwegian designers and produced in 100% soft merino wool.
The design has simple yet with embroidery and patterns sourced from their Nordic heritage.

Great importance has been placed on the practical solutions of the garments, but also on possibility of “growth”. Fold-ups are employed wherever it is possible, so that the child can use the garment through several seasons.
Whereas the design recalls elements of the past, the clean and pure wool material is based on the latest technological development. The wool is of the softest kind and does not itch or irritate the skin. The wool is “super-wash” treated and can consequently safely be washed in the washing-machine on a wool program without shrinking or change of dimensions.


LilleLam is available at stylejunta.com or see the whole collection at lillelam.no

The two designers Camilla and Camilla sat on a bench, near the lake of Copenhagen, on a lucky Sunday in 2007.
