If you haven’t heard of Tea Collection before, then it’s your lucky day, because this San Francisco-based label is really worth knowing about.
Until recently you couldn’t buy Tea Collection within Australia, but happily now that’s now changed. Sisters Toni and Melony are Tea fans from way back, and are thrilled to bring you the new season’s ‘Daily Tea‘ mix and match play-wear range for kids from birth to 2 years range, through their very cool store Where Did You Get That? – www.wheredidyougetthat.com.au.
So what’s so good about Tea Collection? Well, besides the superb quality fabrics and finishes– seriously superior — great cuts and stunning prints, and stunning collections where every piece works back with every other piece (both cost effective and easy to wear) there is a fabulous story and ethic behind the brand.
Started in 2002 by Emily Meyer, a former menswear designer for Ralph Lauren, Perry Ellis and Alexander Julian, and itinerant world traveller with a family background of diversity, Tea Collection sprang from Emily’s idea to bring the beauty found in cultures around the world into the lives and homes of families in our own backyard, therefore fostering the idea of children being “little citizens of the world”.
Each season, Emily identifies a new place for inspiration and introduces prints and patterns that reflect that culture. She says “We design beautiful lifestyle collections that introduce a subtle, but important global perspective: colors, textiles, or silhouettes that are undeniably beautiful. In that beauty, we can all find a common ground of respect, awe and inspiration….If we believe that if the foreign is familiar – it is no longer foreign. It helps us remember that we all more alike than we are different”.
Tea’s business ethic of INSPIRED, GLOBAL, WARM and MINDFUL really takes my breath away, and just goes to show that success and a conscience can work together. Tea Collection can be found in over 500 boutiques worldwide, including Bloomingdale’s, Barneys New York, Neiman Marcus, Takashimaya, and now Where Did You Get That? in Australia.
Daily Tea at Where Did You Get That? is priced very affordably: between $25.50-$44.95 for new season’s stock, with sale pieces starting at an incredible $14.67. Check it out, and buy with confidence: you won’t look back!
Where Did You Get That? charge a flat rate of $7.95 for standard postage Australia-wide.
