Tiny Cottons
Barcelona’s Tiny Cottons is basically the coolest kids’ brand on the block (or playground). Founded by creative parents in 2012, this label treats children’s clothing with the respect of high fashion – and the humor of, well, childhood. Each season brings quirky prints hand-drawn by artists (think smiling croissants or cheeky slogans) on premium organic cotton fabrics. The silhouettes are comfy and practical, but the design level is off the charts. From babies to big kids, Tiny Cottons outfits are mini works of art that can survive endless play and washing – and still be cute enough to pass down to the next tiny style icon.
League of Friends
League of Friends is a New York-based children’s label building a “league” of sustainably dressed little trendsetters. Made from 100% organic Pima cotton (ethically knit in Peru), their clothes are super soft and super tough – surviving wash after wash and roughhousing galore. The designs play with texture and color in a modern way: popcorn-knit cardigans, pom-pom hats, and fun prints that mix and match. Plus, they walk the talk on sustainability with a pre-loved trade-in program to keep pieces in circulation. Founded by a mom with an eco-conscious vision, League of Friends proves that kids’ fashion can be playful, planet-friendly, and built to last, creating a community of families who care.
Hawkins New York
Hawkins New York is a design lover’s paradise offering “luxurious yet lived-in” home goods. Co-founded by a pair of aesthetes inspired by Japanese and Scandinavian design, this Hudson Valley/NYC brand collaborates with artisans worldwide to bring you the ultimate mix of form and function. Stonewashed Belgian linen bedding that gets softer with each snooze, hand-blown glassware in perfect hues, marble and brass accents that spark joy on your shelf – it’s all here. Every item feels intentional and a tad indulgent, but totally usable for everyday life. Hawkins basically said, “your home should look like a boutique hotel and feel like a hug,” and then made it happen.
Okej
Okej Studio is a Swedish-American design duo bringing ultra-modern whimsy to home furnishings. Best known for their wavy “squiggle” rugs, Okej’s creations defy convention with bold shapes and punchy colors that instantly liven up any space. Founded in 2020 by a Swedish designer and her American engineer husband, the studio treats homeware like artwork – each rug, mirror, or chair is meant to be a standout piece. Yet they never sacrifice function: their plush wool rugs are as cozy underfoot as they are eye-catching. With Okej, minimal Scandinavian design gets a fun, funky twist, proving that clean lines and playful curves can happily coexist.
Studio Mirte
Studio Mirte transforms living spaces into cozy art galleries with its playful textile designs. Based in Utrecht, Netherlands, this indie studio (helmed by textile artist Mirte van Kooten) hand-tufts one-of-a-kind rugs and wall hangings that bring color, texture, and whimsy into your home. Each piece is a cozy work of art – bold shapes, funky patterns, and a touch of Dutch quirkiness – designed to make your floor (or wall) the happiest spot in the house. If you’re looking to upgrade your decor from bland to eye-popping, Studio Mirte has you (and your floors) covered with art you can walk on.
