Caramel Clothes

Eva Karayiannis is one of those mums for whom parenthood opens up new doors: although trained as a lawyer, she changed direction completely when she set up business as a kids' clothing designer. Now her proud boast is that her logo-free pieces are both beautiful and functional even with the challenges that a child's day can throw at them: they can be worn to the park or playgroup, and still be washed and come up good as new.

Most interesting of all, she tries to explore colour palettes not traditionally used for kids - no flamingo pink or baby blues here. And indeed, it was the pattern that you see on these two pieces (above and below) that first caught my eye. It's used for a number of her items, including shorts and a dress, too.

I recommend a browse around the site for similar unusual twists. Caramel will ship items worldwide, but advise you to contact them by email for a quote on postage costs.
