Last week I had a sweet visit with the oh-so-lovely Melissa and Angela of Ruby Press. One of their new clients, Rikshaw Design, absolutely bowled me over with these hand block-printed designs. It was one of those moments when you're sad to be size grownup as this line is for the kiddos: diaper pouches, bib sets, crib bedding, twin bedding (new), and adorable stuffed elephants. Wow. I may not be familiar with the diaper pouch market, but I'm willing to put a wager on these diaper pouches from Rikshaw being the cutest. I just love the bohemian style of the entire line. The kids market has sure come a long way.
Also, I thought the story behind Rikshaw was interesting. The creator and designer, Catherine Fitzsimmons, used to work as a visual merchandiser for Ralph Lauren and then a textile buyer for Pottery Barn. She traveled to India where she fell in love with the tradition of Indian block-printing. And so, Rikshaw Design was born.
Another kid thing I've had my eyes on: I'm super excited to see Where the Wild Things Are. Did any of you see it over the weekend? I'm hoping to catch it this week!
