One of our favorites, Chloe, age 7, popped in to select her favorite things from this fall. She was drawn immediately to a miniature vintage bench and the tiniest playing cards one can imagine. Thank you to Chloe and her open heartedness.

01M Eco Friendly Shoes!

Advice has always been inspired by both design and eco-friendly products. This week, we received our first shipment of 01M shoes. Designed and produced in Spain, these shoes are not only inspired by nature but have a respect for the environment to live responsibly. The 01M shoe is a unique design with a superior fit and function combined with 100% biodegradability. The concept of 01M shoes comes from the indigenous tribes of the Amazon who painted the soles of their feet with natural latex to enable their surefooted movements through the jungle. These shoes ensure a great range in motion, maximum grip and are suitable for urban use, sports and leisure. For the mountain, beach, and at home.Both the shoe and its packaging is completely biodegradable.  photo dezeen_01M-OneMoment-2.jpg  photo dezeen_01M-OneMoment-5.jpg  photo dezeen_01M-OneMoment-9.jpg  photo dezeen_01M-OneMoment-6.jpg  photo dezeen_01M-OneMoment-12.jpg  photo dezeen_01M-OneMoment-13.gif

Visiting Wovenplay in New York

Wovenplay is one of our inspirations and always has been. Based in Brooklyn, NY, we visited the studio and chatted about the New York Public Library's incredible picture library, Japanese cottons and hand dying. 

Wovenplay designs, sews, dyes, and prints creative couture for the everyday artist and adventurer. The beauty of the collection is captured in its simplicity and how well we see our children when they wear it. Or insist on wearing it. The rendering of the past into the present means that swimsuits have zippers that won't rust in seawater or chlorine, tutus have proper closures for dancing and jumping, the feather headbands combine glass beading with vintage buttons. 

Wovenplay believes in designing vibrant, playful pieces that combine quality of color and texture with the innately imaginative spirit of childhood. Their clothes are fanciful and modern, with a foundation of inspiration from decades passed.
