Fruity News, Children’s clothes from Villervalla

Scandinavian mum — Fri, 11 May 2012 08:21:06 +0000

Villervalla is all about colour and playfulness, good quality and comfort. The founder of Villervalla, Hanna Håkansson had been a children’s clothing shop owner since 1999. Based on her experience she started designing fun unisex children’s clothing in 2005, with a fun unisex-concept for newborn and up to 8 years. Villervalla is based in the picturesque old town of Gothenburg, with a design and product development studio, an office, an outlet and one of the concept stores situated here.
This week Villervalla Spring Summer 2012 collection seem to have popped up in many independent children’s clothing shops around the world. And we are absolutely delighted that’s it’s become available in the UK too!

And we especially love the organic line including some “kind to skin and nature” baby essentials, colourful basics to the children and most of all we would defentely consider getting hold of the organic junior bed set, bright and beautiful bedlinen available in 4 colours, hot pink, deep blue or as shown here lime green or sunshine yellow.

With a focus on sustainability Villervalla clothes are produced with concern for children’s health and the environment, including a organic cotton range. Clothes with minor flaws are sold at their outlet or sent to orphanages where needed.
As they say in their slogan;

Villervalla -happy clothes for happy children!

Scandinavian mum — Tue, 31 May 2011 07:00:13 +0000

We are currently doing a review on this gorgeous apple coloured dress with a cool hand printed owl by the up and coming new brand and shop concept from Sweden, The Gooey Brand.
Little A is head over heels with the blue eyed owl that sits on a branch. And as the little collector she is she simply loves the two front pockets. The A-line short sleeved dress is made of soft organic cotton with a really nice finish. Wear it on its own with a cardi or as a tunic with trousers and a tee underneath. Available in size 86-116 €40 www.gooeybrand.com

Green Cotton “is what it says on the tin”; organic soft cotton. The label Green Cotton is owned by Novotex – the first in the World with tees made of certified organic cotton. Novotex has won several prizes for bringing the environmental awareness into the textile industry.

Scandinavian mum — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:58:45 +0000

Brokiga is a collection of quality products for children, inspired by the characters from the Who?- series. The line consists of clothing and furnishings, bedding and other items for the child’s room.

Stina Wirsen is in collaboration with her mother Carin Wirsen the swedish author of about 40 popular children’s books. The philosophy behind these books is that the small child should be taught skills such as counting and reading in a pleasant way, stimulating the child’s natural curiosity and will to explore. They are expressive and cute without being too cutesy. Happiness, mischievousness, frustration and anger are emotions expressed within this world.

The brand is also very environmental friendly with organic and ecologically sound production. For example the cotton products are made of organic cotton and the prints are produced in Sweden on climate compensated paper.

Brokiga is available online from Sweden at House of Hedda

Spring and Summer news from Lille Barn

Scandinavian mum — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 09:00:52 +0000

Lille Barn (Little Children) has managed to create yet a lovely collection in organic merino wool, organic cotton and Bamboo. The London based Norwegian talented and most charming Reidun Oliveira is the head designer behind the brand, and for her the quality of each piece and the love and comfort the child will experience by wearing it is what’s important. She has also chosen to have all her garments produced in Europe, and yet they are still surprisingly affordable.
Lille Barn is clothing for babies and children up to 6 years. Her knitted winter collection in the softest Merino Wool is what the customers really love. But I must admit, this summer collection can not be a disappointment for all Lille Barn fans. Many items like the all in one suit shown to the left is the typical Lille Barn signature style. There is also some lovely fabrics and romantic summer dresses to be found. And many items are mix and match.
But what we are especially impressed about is the boys collection. Chunky knitted organic cotton sweaters in different colours. Comfortable shorts for those hot summer days. And we simply love the reversible jacket with matching bucket hat! Don’t miss out on this one!
Online boutique is to be launched this spring. Meanwhile there are several lovely shops that stock Lille Barn; Kidsen, Cute U Look, Squibbly Biskit, Little Bou and Yellow Lolly
