こんにちは! Today I have found a rather unique little label straight from Japan that has me wanting to pull out my credit card and buy, buy, buy! Have a peek at Noko Inc – nokobaby.com – which was created by two Americans, Maureen Chianese and Jennifer Friese, living in Tokyo back in 2006.
Japan is a land of contrasts. You can find quirky, beautiful, traditional, unique and simply divine items all mixed together in single boutiques. Noko is a label that is all of these characteristics rolled into one. The fabrics are inspired from 1000 year old fabrics called tenugui which are typically used as a decoration, head scarf or even an actors business card. Noko has put a spin on this and created fun designs for little girls (and a few for boys).
Sizing is 0-6 years and the Spring/Summer collection is currently available. I’m simply in awe of the current dress range. The 100% cotton Nico dress with its waist sash which is almost like a kimono obi will definitely make a statement if worn to a party. The Yuko dress is also one which will be hard not to add to ones shopping cart. Made in Peru from a 100% pima cotton knit with Japanese motifs, it could be worn on any occasion – from a playdate to a family dinner. Noko is one label that I think we need to add to our wardrobe!
