Surfing Lion Boardshort Fabric

  Store-bought boardshorts for boys tend to be pretty ugly print-wise (I either try not to care or opt for a solid, maybe with a smart racing stripe or some piping). But The Fabric Fairy has this boardshort fabric (a polyester microfiber) which is awfully cute. I’d never considered making my kids’ swim trunks till now. Related [...]

I already have a chevron T-shirt and some elk baby rompers formed in my mind. [...]

Minä Perhonen

Japanese fashion legend Mina Perhonen (“I Butterfly” in Finnish) archives its fabrics on their website — do any other fashion brands do this? Looking back (all the way to 1997) it shows how ahead-of-the-curve yet timeless they are. Their collection always incorporates embellished/embroidered textiles as well as prints and wovens — too bad they’re not [...]
