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!

Little Lions…
LION OF LEISURE…,
the cool kidsbrand from Antwerp,
asked us again to do their photoshoot…
This time for the BABY-collection.
We loooooooooveddddddddd it!
You have to know, we’re always in the middle of
3 and 11 year old dudes.
And to be honest,
with cute little babies
we always become incredibly soft.
Yelling…. “ssssssooooo cuteeeeeee”…
“too adorable”… and
(I couldn’t found a similar translation for
our Dutch sentence:) “om op te eten”.
These adorable little tiny mini’s were shining
in front of my camera, doing a wonderful job.
They are only 8, 15 and 18 months old.
Can you believe it? Little heroes!
This collection is considered non-seasonal. Which we love!
A few times a year Lion of Leisure comes up
with a new print and an additional humorous text.
Every tee is handprinted carefully and lovingly.
At the shoot we saw a few
new very cool illustrations already.
We assume they will present that
at Playtime Paris at the end of this month.
Their baby collection is in soft grey,
soft blue, beautiful red and off-white.
Always with the cool , already well-known,
detailed, whimsical illustrations of animals.
With funny graphics like: “wait for me” (elephant),
“today could be a bit wobbly” (giraffe),
“show me the milk” (lamb),
“I can fly” (pinguin), “crack!” (Chimp).
The combination of image and text makes it hilarious.
In 3 sizes from 6-18 months.
Lion of Leisure is always delivering these
cool tees in the re-usable 100% pure cotton bag.
A lovely gift from the designers.
We think this is one of the must-haves-gifts
for birth or B-days ,
which will always
put a smile on someone’s face.
Check it out here,
But we will keep you posted anyway!

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!

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!

Have a nice talk…
Eat the amazing scones or other deliciousness of our favorite bakery-store
‘de Bakkerswinkel’. We’re lucky to have the opportunity

And shop ’til you drop in ‘the contemporary boys store’.
Have a look at our webstore to get an impression,
and maybe we have a few new surprises…

Therefore you really need to show up ; )
