Anaadi is the Sanskrit word for eternity and the theme for the latest collection by Bornage.

Celtic, Kariji and Universal symbols of eternity are featured with Paisley, an ancient symbol of life and eternity through out this new collection and rather than sticking to the conventional fabrics, they’ve added organic cotton jersey/Lycra and Organic cotton twill/Lycra to the range which gives the garments greater flexibility without losing the organic nature and feel.

Meat Free Mondays is all about helping people to have one day a week free of meat. Why? Eating more vegetables is not only great for your health but also good for the planet too! UN’s top climate scientist Rajendra Pachauri states that “People should consider eating less meat as a way of combating global warming. UN figures suggest that meat production puts more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than transport.”

Stella, Paul and Mary McCartney founded a charity called Meat Free Mondays and Stella now supports this cause through her children’s collection Stella McCartney Kids. For the Spring/Summer 12 Kids collection, Stella introduced a special Meat Free Monday line made of 100% organic cotton with a percentage of each sale supporting the Meat Free Monday Campaign.

LUDD’s new CADAQUES espadrilles are entirely handcrafted in Spain, and because they are LUDD, they are of course, made from fair trade materials.

Espadrille footwear originated in the Spanish Pyrenees and was the usual shoes of the peasants in the Middle Ages . The name “espadrilles” comes from Catalan “espardenyes”, which means “made of esparto grass”. Now, most of the espadrilles that you can find worldwide are made in Asia, but the espadrilles made in Spain represent a guarantee of handcrafted, quality and fair-made.

The name, CADAQUES comes from the place: Cadaqués is a unique, romantic, small town on a Mediterranean bay, in Spain. Cadaqués is in the Empordà region, considered the “Spanish Tuscany”. Cadaqués was inspiring to many artists such as Dalí, Picasso, Miró, Hamilton, Magritte and Duchamp, who spent time here.

What a lovey history to a great Spring and Summer shoe.

You know we love to chat to the designer’s when we can, about inspiration for their new season’s ranges. Speaking to the designer gets us excited about their product and gives us a reason (like we need one) to buy their latest gear.

Loosen up! That’s the name of Koolabah’s new collection and Nina Wolf, Koolabah’s creator gave us some insight into her latest collection of kids 100% organic cotton range:

” The leitmotif of the Loosen up collection is clearly comfort. Edgy, timeless, in your face fashion that exudes individuality and attitude. Exaggerated forms balloon out, crotches are dropped, oversized sweatshirts and tees but also more tailored jackets and all of this with a nod to the 80´s.  Loosen up presents comfortable pieces that can be mixed and matched however you like, swinging the pendulum away from the
given fashion trends and reference points of the season. This is, put into other words: playful and roomy pieces for clowning  about in that can be worn over and over again.”

” Inspiration is drawn from the Japanese simplicity and the typical Scandinavian functionality, proposing clean lines, neat shapes
and quirky details that make each piece a small work of art. We strive to create thoughtful and complex sensibility
in all our garments and accessories.”

In the Maori language, nohi nohi means, “to be small”. In Japan, Kodomo Nohi, one of the most popular national holidays, is a day to celebrate children. And, in Hawaiian, Nohi means brightly colored and vivid. So, that makes a Nohi Kid a bright, vivacious little thing just oozing with personality. All Nohi products are made from Bamboo

(just a reminder: Bamboo is known to be the fastest naturally growing plant on earth, making it renewable and sustainable. It is able to reproduce and grow without fertilizers or pesticides. Bamboo’s growth characteristics enable it to spread rapidly across large areas and this improves soil quality in degraded and eroded areas of land)

And all of their fabric is 100% skal-certified organic cotton and fiber from bamboo,  pre-shrunk, and ready for your washer and dryer. They also use low-impact and water based inks for printing and comply with all CPSIA guidelines and regulations to ensure that all products are lead-free.

We asked Janel Jones, owner of Nohi Kids a bit about her new collection…………..

“My inspiration for this collection (and really, all collections) is simply kids.  Kids move, play, jump, and get dirty all day.  I wanted to create a line that let them do all of these things with ease and comfort and without restriction.  Really, Nohi clothes are casual basics with a fashionable twist.  They can run and play and be on the best dressed list. :)   It was also important to me to be as eco-friendly as possible while still incorporating bright colors and modern graphics.”

This is cute, organic range of tees for little hipsters. There seems to be a large selection of organic tees on the market but there is always room for one more. One more organic brands means, hopefully, one less chemical (and toxic) tee shirt being purchased, which is brilliant for the environment and brilliant for everyone’s skin!

Love yourself a bit of Nooshie

This fabulous kids label is filled with colors and designs that look like they came straight out of 1970s.

Add to this, each Tomat design has a limited production run so you won’t bump into another child at school wearing the same. Plus, you know we always like this……. Tomat products are 100% certified organic cotton, the graphics are printed by hand in LA (USA) using water based silk screen ink making them pesticide, herbicide and chemical-free.
