Marmar Copenhagen discreet and utterly irresistible

Scandinavian mum — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 09:04:10 +0000

As one of the former head designers at well known label Mini A Ture danish designer Marlene Anine Holmboe had all the expertise and experience to start her own brand, Marmar Copenhagen, summer 2008.
With a goal to achieve toned down elegance for children, where romantic appearance and sharp graphic prints are the contrasts the label strives to offer a window into a world of fashion for little people that creates its own subtle style statement.

With detailing restricted to only the most important elements and muted colour tones, it can almost come as a surprise to find an eye-catching twist in their collection. MarMar Copenhagen is contrasting mix of contemporary functionalism and classic vintage.

Molo enchanting deer print for autumn 2010

Scandinavian mum — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 12:06:29 +0000

The most delightful of prints, this breathtaking deer in a enchanted forest, from danish Molo Kids will tempt the girls this autumn, made in soft cotton in a comfortable cut and covered with gorgeous deers and flowers all the way around.
This enchanted forest print will probably make us think of Disney’s Bambi but truth is that this theme has a long history, being described in some of the oldest folklores around the world.

Nordic Kids think this is the ultimate in dainty woodland chic! We think the deer print is stunning and that the colours are perfect for the coming autumn and winter season.

No girls wardrobe should be without a garment this gorgeous! Available in sizes 0 – 12 years.

Leka wooden designer furniture at Nordic Kids

Scandinavian mum — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 23:03:24 +0000

We have mentioned favourite children’s furniture brand Leka Sweden and their well known Trojan Horse before.
The Trojan Horse was designed as early as in 1962 in Sweden and has recently been redesigned with rubber wheels etc. This fun toy can be a rocking horse, a stool and storage for all those little toys. Brilliant design and solid painted wood, available in several bright colours.

Nordic Kids says

It’s especially hard to avoid falling in love with their adorable and ingenious Trojan Horse designs. So much fun!

And we can’t agree more!

Also check out the gorgeous rugs available in carefully selected colours to match perfectly with other items from the Leka range of furniture.
