We’ve just booked a spot at Kleine Fabriek, a children’s trade fair taking place in Amsterdam this coming Sunday-Monday. The fair showcases around 400 collections from 24 countries, blending global brands like Guess and Armani with smaller independents like…er…us. Thanks to our new Dutch rep Saskia from Stones Kids Agency for securing this late (and great value) [...] Lots of people (in addition to Karen & I) make Olli & Lime tick. They beaver away on our behalf, far from the relative ‘limelight’. Don’t feel bad though, we do pay them! Plus they get the occasional mention here. Anyway, time to welcome more of the supporting cast in the shape of two (North American) sales [...] This one kinda speaks for itself… …only other thing worth mentioning, a couple of items are reduced by 40-50% but you’ll have to be quick. You can see everything on our sale page We’re nearing the end of a massive production run that’s been less than smooth, shall we say. One of the bi-products is a long waiting list for our cushions/pillows. Apologies if you’re on the list. The good news (as I’m sure you’ve guessed) is they’ve arrived. Even better, a new production process has given us the best [...] Some pretty exciting news. I mentioned some time ago that we were appearing in a Rotovision book, Print and Production Finishes for Sustainable Design. We submitted some text and images then forgot about it. Well, now it’s been printed. Even better than that, we’re on the cover… (That’s our ‘Carrie’ design second from the left) I haven’t actually seen [...] Making the most of the beautiful weather last weekend, we took short trip to the nearby village of Painswick… It’s a typical Cotswold village; great views but not much to do, except breathe clean air, enjoy the oddly shaped trees and reflect. Perfect then. I also tried out my sat nav and (although the route it plotted [...] No, not me…or Karen! It’s Josh, one of our three distinctly ‘different’ cats. Josh doesn’t do conventional. Case in point, here he is drinking direct from the tap! Josh likes to play it his way. He does what he wants, when he wants. If he’s in the mood for some fuss though, his affection rivals either [...] It was my birthday on Sunday so, as is tradition in these parts, I thought I’d belatedly share what I got up to and provide a peek at my fabulous presents. I spent Saturday with friends, plus my dad (who was a bonus late addition). In typical male fashion, we watched football, drank beer, played pool and [...] We’ve been working with ella + elliot for a while now but until yesterday I had no clue what their store looked like. Shame on me! Anyway, that’s now resolved. Having an (all too regular) Flickr browse I stumbled across their photostream and took a look inside ella + elliot. I love the engaging compositions and the [...] While in Chicago we noticed lots of independent boutique-style kids stores. Now I’ve uploaded my 759(!) photos, I thought I’d share a few. This is (obviously) Grow, in East Village, one of our existing retailers… This shop is truly beautiful, Hadley in Lincoln Park… And this is the wonderfully named Kickin’ in Roscoe Village… In fact, although Roscoe Village itself [...] |
