Happy New Year, everyone!

We hope you've all had a chance to take a few deep breaths after that busy, bustling holiday season - we certainly needed to. With a brand new year comes brand new pretty things for your favorite little ones, and one of the first to hit the racks is Tea Collection: this season, we're going to...South Africa!


Every season Tea brings us to a different destination; last season their clothing was inspired by Nordic design, and the season before that we visited Bali. This time, we'll be spending the summer in sun-soaked, majestic South Africa. Expect vibrant new shades, exquisite details (think embroidery and new textures), and exuberant patterns - plus the same classic Tea silhouettes we've all come to love.


For the first chapter of Tea's multi-part Spring/Summer collection, they've drawn inspiration from the indigo arts they saw in Johannesburg marketplaces. The colors are warming up (in anticipation of warmer days, of course!), but are still deep and rich, with lots of beautiful floral patterns, like in the Rosebank Smocked Top, above.

We're especially excited about the fun new graphics this season will bring: this Black Mamba is pretty fierce, and the first best-seller of the season is a layered, embroidered lion shirt, inspired by a mask the designers found in a market in South Africa. We wish something that cool had inspired our boring grown-up clothes!

Be sure to swing by to see the new Tea Collection in our shop (or online): we think you're going to love it!
