Michelle & Elizabeth want to wish all mums a very happy day this year…and

want to share their special picks for a great gift:

“My Mum is my ultimate style inspiration, through the 70’s to the 80’s and even 90’s, she was daring to try and experiment with all the trends, the coolest Mum in the playground. I love her vinatge knits pieces, that I would borrow without her noticing… the Knitted Oversize Tee is my favorite piece and I know she will ROCK wearing it this Summer”

Michelle, Head Designer in New York, USA.

“I love  to be offered handmade gifts that are unique, that is why some of my favorite pieces for this Summer are the Stripe scarves in Pima cotton and the Crochet berets & Quipu scarves. Love the texture and color in these, they are fresh & playful and very personal.”

Elizabeth, Head Designer in Lima, Peru.
