Little Scandinavian

Being a pioneer in creating Scandinavian children’s designer wear danish designer Christina Rohde started up back in 1991. The label is known for a romantic, nostalgic almost bohemian look with their loose and flowery print on soft cotton made into the most comfortable yet stylish garments.
However it seems like the label Christina Rohde are renewing themselves slightly this season, or so it seems from their presentation of the collection.

And some more AW pics, only a bit more like how we used to know Christina Rohde

If you look closely many of the garments are still the same, with the same typical Christina Rohde signature cut and finish.
So, what do you prefer? The more nostalgic look or the new almost “geek chic” style?

Autumn and winter in Scandinavia is crisp and cold often with a clear sky where after a stroll through the beautiful landscape in green turning yellow, red and brown you can relax with true home comforts in front of an open log fire with the flicker and glow of candles. The AW10 collection from Danish designer brand Wheat is based on classic styles with soft harmonious colours that set the trend, using natural fabrics and materials they remain functional but still cater to children´s daily needs.

Like a proper old fashioned marked with lots of individual stalls, where local craftsmen display and sell their gods, Norwegian online site Epla is the viritual version of this.
Founded late 2009 the online marked is already well known within Norway and Scandinavia. It seems like high quality homemade products, often made of recycled materials, are increasingly popular. And I’m amazed how many people who are back to their roots in front of the sewing machine or with knitting pins in their hands!

Have a look at “Barn og Baby” to see unique clothes, accessories, toys and furniture for your little one.

The Danish furniture designer Hans J. Wegner (1914-2007) designed Peters chair and table when his good friend and colleague, Borge Mogensen, fathered a son in 1944. It was rather difficult for Wegner to find an adequate christening gift because of the war. So he decided to make one himself, and what was more appropriate than a small piece of furniture for the new borne.

Peters chair is unique because its simplicity. It consists of 4 flat parts and can assembles without the use of tools. In fact it’s so easy to assemble that a child can do it! As a result this piece of design furniture can not only serve as a sturdy high quality wooden chair but also a fun and creative assembly toy that they can take apart and rebuild again and again.

As this is a classic, a fine example of great danish design, it doesn’t come for free. But in our opinion it’s well wort the investment. Visit carlhansen.com for list of UK dealers.

Four new collections every year reflecting trends and fashion, where every piece is threaded by hand, where every pearl or gem stone is living material that makes each piece unique.

Playfulness and charm, but above all happiness is Baglady’s trademark. Naturally combined with a sense of fashion, they don’t settle for humble solutions. Baglady is everything but modest.

Our Little Scandinavian came home from her holiday in Sweden with a stunning piece, a necklace that truly caught our attention. And even more, she had brought another little bag of happiness for her little sister.

These handmade Scandinavian design jewellery for children (and adults) is clearly of high quality and indeed very well made. And as a bonus the design is as lovely as a bouquet of fresh flowers.
