Dolls & Dirt, designer t-shirts for boys and girls

DOLLS & DIRT BE OUR BUYER

 

Designer Katy Bridgewater was the child of an illustrator and her father’s work sparked her obsession with a world in 2D. This influence is clear in the designs of Dolls & Dirt, a designer T-Shirt range for kids. Katy credits the little dolls and dirty boys that she meets in real life with giving her inspiration for the tone of the collection. AlexandAlexa is excited to be including Dirt & Dolls in this weeks ‘Be Our Buyer’ secret shopping event.  Each piece carries with it a little bit of humour and mischief that we secretly love in our kids. If this sounds like something that would go down well in our family, make sure you sign up to shop Dirt & Dolls this weekend with a special 50% off introductory price.

AlexandAlexa’s Team at Pitti Bimbo

You know that feeling you get when you buy something new and you are just buzzing with excitement? It’s great, right?

This is exactly how we feel right now at AlexandAlexa.com. The buying team have just returned from the kidswear trade show Pitti Bimbo in Florence. Battling the 32 degrees Summer sun (ok for some :-) ) they brought home a fantastic photo diary, brilliantly amateur (!) videos and their gorgeous choices for Spring / Summer 2012.

Pitti Bimbo is the biggest trade show for kidswear and takes place in January and June every year in the beautiful city of Florence, Italy. All the best brands showcase their collections for the season to come and welcome buyers into their beautiful booths especially created for the event. From a retro circus for the kids to beautifully produced fashion shows, it’s all happening at Pitti Bimbo.

Of course, we know that you can’t wait to see what’s in store (literally!), so we will be bringing you sneaky peaks of your favourite brands as well as introduce our new exciting labels. So, WATCH THIS SPACE!
