wovenplay

wovenplay is a magical little company, owned by Katherine Edmonds, completely dedicated to dressing up the play hours of a child's life. She creates real play clothes, that are durable yet fashionable and most importantly they encourage the imaginations of  small children. I discovered wovenplay many months ago through one of my favorite online sources, small magazine, and since then one of my very best friends, Emily Cox, has been working with Katherine in her Manhattan studio and office as an assistant designer. I have had the privilege of meeting Katherine, and as mentioned in this previous post, she is the woman responsible for introducing me to one of the most fascinating artist's collections in NYC, Le Cirque de Alexander Calder. Calder's circus is one of Katherine's personal inspirations for her children's wear. I also love wovenplay because they strive to produce quality garments. Their products are mostly made in the U.S. and with fair trade manufacturers outside of the states. They also use organic materials, and do in house printing, dyeing and hand embellishments. wovenplay is just about perfect, the only thing I can find wrong about the company is that they don't make any of these amazing clothes in my size! I would love to own a green and white striped leotard and a pair of the laced up tights too. I would wear them everyday of my life, I swear.
