Starring: Robin Hood!
Mister J. is starring in a play called
“Robin Hood: men in tights”.
We love his cool striped colourblocking tights
and his too small hoodie…
Makes him sweety,
very contemporary,
Robin, haha!
Uk-based cool brand Little Titans
designs these funny and stylish tights,
yehhh… JUST FOR BOYS!
And how much we LOVE that!
The little dudes can ‘rise and shine’
as a soccer-player,
superman or just being very cool
in stripes with knitted kneepads and
very warm and double layered socks with anti-slip…
ALL-IN-ONE!
Get your ‘Robin’ at least one cool version!
…but we bet you want them all!
No lost socks anymore,
just warm and cool legs including warm feet.
With TITANS they can PLAY ALL DAY!
Yabadabadooooooo!!!!!

Playful, graphic & art-ish
Yesterday we flew in for one day…
to a place where we really wanted to be
PLAYTIME PARIS!
To catch up with our designer-friends Noch Mini and Loud Apparel.
To talk to new great designers, from whom we’ve heard about already,
but never met.
To meet some nice agents, whom we will keep in touch with…
and some very very cool NEW BRANDS who’ve just launched
their AMAZING first collection. We’re very proud of you!
All the creativity was mindblowing…
You had to take your time and think what you would like to see…
All the colours (or monotones), 400 brands…
MILK MAGAZINE has this cool design-award
at Playtime
to show all of us the
cool stuff on the block.
Well they nailed it again!
We’ve met some nice journalists too.
Great and inspiring to talk to very experienced collegues.
Especially for the more visual versions like us.
And we have to say it again…
THANKS SO MUCH PLAYTIME-CREW!
for treating us so nice!
Spoiled at the pressroom with delicious food and
a great seat to make up your mind about
what to see in the last two hours (haha)
…while having a delicious coffee.
The upcoming weeks we will give you all the insights
for cool boys and their contemporary parents.
Sneak previews (with r.e.s.p.e.c.t. to the designers),
wannahaves and views on everything
to inspire you.
STAY TUNED!

Two months ago we’ve posted already
about this really cool NEW kidsbrand from Antwerp/Belgium.
LION OF LEISURE…
Cool wildlife tees, dito totebags and cool softies.
Very humourous in style…
We were very lucky to receive a ‘we love it’-package’ of their designs,
so we could really experience wearing it.
The tees are very soft and stay that way after washing them,
which is amazing!
We have to admit that it’s still pretty exceptional,
to have your kids tees
in the same quality as before washing it.
More brands should pay attention to that…
Lion of Leisure does…
also…
Their mission is to create a children’s clothing brand
that is unique, that has it’s own humorous identity
and inspires the very people who inspire us – KIDS.
Sssstttt… don’t tell…
We had a glimpse of an amazing new print, which is a big secret ofcourse…
But we can tell you… that one will be a big WANNAHAVE!
If you’re a professional you can meet them at the kids fair
DE KLEINE FABRIEK in Amsterdam this weekend.
Or you can just follow them. Here are ways to get their designs yourself.
p.s. All their designs are eco-friendly-certified too!
So no more excuses, haha!
+ handprinted, piece by piece…
+ more inspiration for: tees, totebags or cool softies…

Graphic Jungle
GRAPHIC JUNGLE is an amazing nursery collection
by a very cool new French brand for the little ones…
called ANATOLOGY…
WE’RE IN LOVE!!!
This ‘real coolness’ was launched just 8 months ago, by Delphine Miquel.
Before she moved on to the core of her experience in ready to wear,
she studied arts & design at the Beaux Arts.
So we understand where her ‘eye for beauty’ is coming from.
After that, she also studied fashion in Paris (Atelier Chardon Savard)
On top of that she worked for 7 years as a creative assistant of
a ‘pret-a-porter-deluxe-fashion-designer’.
When she became a mum, 16 months ago,
and couldn’t find any cool nursery items she liked,
she decided to make it herself
and the coolest brand was born!
A BIG THANK YOU!
It is so incredibly contemporary with the beautiful fabrics
together with the stunning graphic prints.
We never saw this before.
A big big wannahave and nr.1 on the wishlist.
Besides ‘the coolest on the planet-sleep bags’,
(0-18 months)
there are the crib liners, the bibs
and the cushions to enjoy for a much longer time.
And because the designer’s son is now 16 months,
we assume (well… wish… haha) that she will design something new…
Great designs which are growing up with this cool little dude.
GET INSPIRED BIG TIME!
… like we did…

frozen teeth & naughty boys
A cool contemporary book, THE SMARTYPANTS GUIDEBOOK,
funny, very very naughty, and so… not serious at all!
A real MUST-HAVE for your little rascal!
Made by a great team, Elisabeth Brami and Serge Bloch,
commissioned by a leading kidsbrand.
PETIT BATEAU…
Who just wants to celebrate their
uhm… ‘120th B-day!’
How much we like that! Not scared to stand-out and choose different.
Which is surprising for a beautiful, but classical brand.
Thanks for this cool book and we hope you will celebrate
another 120 years with EVEN MORE contemporary cool basics!
HIP HIP HOORAY!
p.s. Our little Mr. Jules is
trying to figure out
how to get more ‘rascal-tricks’.
Well…, thank you guys… ; )

The coolest coloring book ever…
Photographer Jenny Brandt and her hubby Jens, an illustrator, have this brilliant idea!
They would love to publish this, with your help.
We think it will be the coolest coloringbook everrr…
‘EL COLORING BOOK RIDICULOSO’
Very authentic, because these coloring sheets are based on
the cool photographs of Jenny Brandt from the DOS FAMILY
(a very inspiring Swedish blog/brand).
Published around the globe, with this typical original Jenny-identity!
Jenny and Jens are trying to make it possible by
their crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo.
They’re almost there and left with only 11 days for this campaign.
If you would like to own and enjoy
this very cool contemporary funny crazy colouringbook,
please support them now.
Here’s their promo!
‘GO DO SOMETHING’!
p.s. If you want a gift that is exclusive, this is you chance to shine and colour!!!
