Morninggggg… Class has started!
Hi, hello there…, good morningggg…
Class has started with these NEW cool alphabet-cards
from Rotterdam-based fun, graphically very strong
and just amazingly talented brand, Mausbird.
The whole year, stylish designer and owner, Mietze,
is coming up with new idea’s.
You know she’s doing the opposite
of what everybody is doing…
The first time I’ve met her,
she already had designed
the triangle ‘graphics’ coolness.
She’s very inspiring!
So that’s why she was the first to visit
at the HTNK-area at the Kleine Fabriek last monday…
You know you will go home, happily inspired.
And the good thing is,
we will go and work together
on something really nice…
So follow us, to make sure won’t miss a thing! ; )
HAVE A LOVELY START OF THE WEEK!

‘crab’ the coolest!
Last monday I’ve just paid a very quick visit
to the Dutch Kidsfair Kleine Fabriek.
Very glad I did! ; )
So with very little time,
I immediately “ran” to ‘the center-court’.
The HTNK-area, where you’re sure
you can meet all the cool
small independent brands.
“The inspiring-area” ; )
Well, besides lovely other brands,
which I will write about asap,
we found out about Swearhouse.
The brand of a lovely,
Rotterdam based, designers-couple
with beautiful (eco) baby-gear.
Very graphic, but in a sophisticated way.
Very contemporary cool. Lovely colors!
Beautiful (eco) fabrics.
And we immediately fell in love with
THE COOLEST BABY-GIFT EVERRRRRR…
called “krabwantjes” (so funny in Dutch).
Translated in English to “scratch mitts”,
which basically says what it is.
But if you speak Dutch, you know it’s pretty brilliant!
Next month we will sell this great design too,
in our own shop!
And if you’re in a big hurry,
you can go and visit the designer’s shop…,
to get you a pair.
And make sure you get the coolest gift
for friends and family with a newborn
or toddler.
HAPPY WEEKEND!

Fashion Revolution!
Today, the Amsterdam Fashionweek
“Zalando presents 10 days downtown”
will kick off…
Which will make our city a bit more frivolous
and incredibly stylish, as fashionweek always does.
Our friends from CP113,
a cool conceptstore in the center/east-side of Amsterdam
were asked, for the second year in a row,
to organize a bazaar with concept-stores.
Fashionweek NL, DAY 2.
A POP UP edition for one day at the cool Volkshotel.
Well they’ve asked us to join in. Yahoooo!!!
Tomorrow, Saturday January 17th,
between 12:00-19:00 hrs,
we will join the grown-up fashionworld…
With our collection of cool brands and must-haves.
Unfortunately we don’t think the clothes will fit them… haha…
But hopefully they get incredibly inspired!
So, stylish parents…, you can bring your kids,
well… that’s our idea ; )
Enough space, although we’re not sure if the
rest of the contributors are happy with a playground ; )
There will be so much beautiful stylish wannahaves to look at.
So we assume you would loooovvveeee to have
a ‘me, myself and I’-moment, hahahaha!
Anyway… you’re all, very much, invited and veryyyy welcome!
Love to see you and bring your friends… ; )

jack-of-all-trades
A few days before New Year’s eve we saw
a magnificent illustration of Ella Cohen,
aka Ellakookoo (brilliant name!)
“The man who knew everything”
A limited edition of 25.
A ‘Jack-of-all-trades’-dad…
In bright contemporary colors.
Busy being a dad, baking a cake…, skateboarding
on his cool loafers… hahahaha…
If you’re lucky there are still a few prints left.
Very much a must-have!
Just check Ella’s blog asap, to make sure
you will be the lucky one to have 1 of the 25
in your home.
And you see, …
it’s very handy to be connected to
the cool editor-in-chief of Eight Magazine
and curator of The Jaunt
and YOUR:OWN,
Jeroen Smeets.
So you get to be updated
in contemporary art and illustration.
Thanks man!

Bye bye Rudolph!
YAHOOOOOO…, just in time…
Our cool friends from BOYS LIKE US
created this ultimate CRAZY COOL X-mas sweater,
with very talented Dutch visual artist MERIJN HOS.
A limited edition
BOYS LIKE US X MERIJN HOS.
This heather grey sweatshirt
features an exclusive illustration of playful characters
and bold letters screenprinted in red, white and blue.
Merijn’s signature, along with the Boys Like Us logo
drawn in his style is found on the back.
We’re sooooo incredibly HAPPY with this version.
And this is why…
We never write about things we don’t like,
but we totally got ‘goosebumps in a negative way’
of the X-mas-Rudolph-style-knits as a new hype.
DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE!
… JUST US ; )
THIS IS FOR SURE
THE BIGGEST MUST-HAVE FOR X-MAS.
#nostress #santa
The coolest gift in town!

THE-COOL-HEADS -CREW
NEW in da house…
A quick note to let you know we have two really cool
NEW brands in da house…
SAMMY ROSE, the brand of a very creative couple from Sweden.
Well-known cool lady, photographer Jenny Brandt (of dosfamily)
and her hubby creative illustrator Jens Grönberg (breakfastdesign).
We’ve supported their crowdfunding campaign
for their amazing WANNAHAVE coloringbook
El coloring book ridiculoso.
So yes OFCOURSE it’s available in our store! BIG TIME!
And then we were looking for some coolness for 10+
and we’ve found it just around the corner, in our ‘Amsterdammiewood’.
BOYS LIKE US. The brand of Vincent Karelsz.
Inspired by his beautiful baby boy,
Vincent created a clothing line for cool boys.
Streetwear. Taking influences from hiphop culture,
skateboarding and the laidback Amsterdam lifestyle.
The brand uses bold graphics and colorful
to grace the comfortable ‘great quality’ clothes.
Perfect for our boys!
And we thought these two brands fit very well in one ‘mood’ to introduce!
Go and check them out in our store. On the front page!
HAVE A LOVELY DAY!

Sunny L.A. minimalism in da house…
WHOOP WHOOP, we’re so excited…!!!
All the way from sunny L.A…
tadaaaaahhhh…
may we present to you…
BELLY SESAME…
Exclusively available in our store,
the first in Europe!
(dancing in our office right now!)
This brand has been created by the lovely stylish couple Kaori & Alex Walter.
Originally hailing from Japan and Germany,
fell in love exactly halfway between their hometowns.
Now living in that nice little place in California, called L.A… ; )
With their interior design and architecture background
+ their fairytale, being a couple too,
we believe it is a natural thing
something beautiful like this has been created.
And as we totally believe in ‘archetype forms for boys’,
THE TEE, …this is just perfect!
We LOVEEEEE the ‘wannahave’ tees for the lil’ dudes
with these amazing graphics, hand-screen-printed.
Tees and prints we would love to wear ourselves.
Beautiful colors. Yes baby, it’s all about the details!
Welcome in our family lovely BELLY SESAME.
Let’s make those boys ‘the coolest kid in the sandbox’, haha! ; )
After the weekend we’ll reveal the other secret from L.A.
For now make sure you will order soon,
because we only have a few sizes each.
Size 2T, 4T and 6T.
Ciao ciao…
HAVE A LOVELY WEEKEND
IN STYLE!
