Made with Love Kids, summer discount from this cool new webshop

Posted on May 13, 2013 by smudgetikka

Made with Love Kids is a new web shop and a new sponsor for me which features a great selection of some of the coolest brands in kids fashion.

Owner Tanika has picked a selection she feels represents her ethos that beautiful clothes make beautiful memories and as a big fan of photography and how it captures a moment she loves the reminder of how a special garment can capture the feeling of a certain day.

The labels stocked at Made with Love Kids are mostly from Scandinavia with the addition of the clever British brand Hucklebones. As a special hello to new customers she has created a special discount for smudgetikka readers with the promo code smudge05 of 15% off the entire collection from today till Sunday 26th May.

Posted on April 22, 2013 by smudgetikka

Elfen Couture create some of the most exquisite kids fashion garments in the world, their summer 2013 collection is about to arrive online and in their facebook page and there is a really creative and stunning photoshoot to go with it.

Shot by longtime collaborators Otikwitteiker Team the theme of the collection is ”An Indochine Phantasma” the designer Selina v.Holleben says “the Asian inspired idea was to bring together different perspectives of being & seeing (traditional and modern, real, unreal, surreal, past & future, dream & reality) like children in their imaginations do, and create it into a new, progressive synthesis”

The silk kimono tops, kaftans and trousers have a 1920″s Art Deco feel to them but fused with modern Manga too. Based in Berlin with a beautiful atelier it really is unlike any other kids label around.
