Our Favorites from Playtime NY

Playtime NY, a tradeshow for everything "kid" related, went off without a hitch last week. While we weren't able to go, thanks to their site, we were still able to scout out the brands that were there. Here are a few of our favorites. Sweet and serene frocks in soft colors from Caramel Baby&Child, Playful prints and texture mix-ups from Kico Kids, and artful and comical embroideries from Coral & Tusk.

Vintage found on Etsy

Since our first post today was all about reusing materials to create a bold statement piece, while making it functional, we thought it would be appropriate to round out the day with a post on the eco-est of  eco-friendly fashion. (Is that even a word?) Anyway, what we are showcasing here is vintage clothing. What's more earth friendly than something that didn't take any new materials to make? Not only is vintage green, but is it ever inspiring. These amazing pieces from the 60's and 70's are beautiful works of art, meant to inspire for future generations of printed frocks destined to fabulous vintage finds as well.

Luxurious Kuna!

We admire Kuna!!!!

For those who dont know what Kuna is, its an amazing up-scale brand that manufactures small amounts of unique products made of alpaca and camelids. This brand focuses on producing high-end products by using the magical art of peruvian textiles. Kuna offers a wide assortment from clothing to home decor. The exciting textures and colors used are natural and all hand made!! This company stresses the importance of preserving each specie they work with (vicunas, guanacos,alpacas, llamas) as well as maintaining and practicing the knowledge of there ancestrals methods and values. Another cool note about Kuna? They form part of WRAP (Worldwide Responsible Acreedited Production) demonstrating there legal and ethic responisibility to the world!
