Mien

January 27, 2019

Mien or le mien means mine in French. Designer Lisa Hsieh chose the name for its simplicity and the connection it represents between mother and child. Lisa started the line in 2015 while pregnant with her own child, so it only make sense that the collection includes pieces for both women and kids. The womens collection is designed to accommodate the different stages of our lives, including pregnancy and nursing. She designs the pieces with our changing bodies in mind, hoping to uncomplicate our wardrobes by offering products that work for many occasions and many years. Her is jersey fabric is made from GOTS-certified organic cotton, custom knit in Los Angeles. Fabric sourcing, dying and sewing all take place within 20 minutes of Lisa’s studio. The dye house uses water saving techniques that also reduce the need for toxic coloring agents. Matching mama and me styles available.

KdBird

December 13, 2018

Beautiful plant dyed, natural fiber hair accessories, made for kiddos but I may borrow some for myself. After the birth of her daughter designer Katie Burki decided to use her experience as a horticulturalist and garden designer to create a product line for kids. She uses botanical extracts and foraged materials to color linen, silk and cotton. Her love of plants and our planet inspires not only her collection but her packaging as well. Everything is plastic free and eco friendly, down to the compostable baggies that her hair accessories ship in.

Devon’s Drawer

March 26, 2018

This mother and daughter run brand is based between Los Angeles, CA and Vancouver, BC. Their garments are manufactured in LA, while the business side is split between Canada and California. The matriarch, Cynthia Bennett has a background in costume and textile design. She made her children's clothing when they were growing up; and after her daughter Meera had kids of her own they were inspired to start Devon's Drawer together. Cynthia handles the production side; sewing the samples and many of the smaller run pieces in her home studio (additional garments are outsourced to a local factory in downtown LA). Their fabrics are ethically sourced (domestically and overseas) and they try to use sustainably options whenever possible. Pictured above is the Lola Dress in Chambray. Devon’s Drawer recently started adding women’s to their collection, including several tops and bottoms.

Black i Boys

Edgy basics for minis and mamas, Black i Boys like to play hard, break rules and get a little bruised. All handmade in LA from deadstock fabrics. Designer Patricia Williams is a mom of four who understands the importance of clothing that not only withstands hard play but is affordable. My daughter is a huge fan of her ultra comfy drop shorts, also available in mama sizes.
