Delicious details with Mi Dulce An'ya
Technically, our Find Of The Week focuses on one unique product. But sometimes, we can’t help but covet one whole brand. So it goes that when we stumbled upon homegrown children’s wear brand, Mi Dulce An’ya, we wanted every piece and accessory in the whole collection.
Why? There’s more than one reason. First of all, every Mi Dulce An’ya item is unique. Each onesie, dress, hairclip and blanket has an understated, vintage aesthetic wrapped up in functional, contemporary design. Designed for boys and girls between 0-8, every garment is created with function in mind, making them as practical as they are adorable.
While impeccable attention to detail and beautiful little flourishes define the look, the feel is something else. Each embellishment on Mi Dulce An’ya garments and all the adorable accessories are hand embellished, under fair trade conditions, by specially trained artisans in Kolkata using only GOTS-certified organic cotton. Result: clothing that is kind to skin, the Earth, and the people who make them.
The best bit about all of this is that Mi Dulce An’ya is a labour of love by founder, Neha. This enterprising mum of two feels passionately about reducing her impact on the environment through the products she purchases. The limited availability of children’s clothing made of organic fabrics in subtle, dreamy designs became her brainchild and a chance to share her belief with like-minded parents. Lucky for us!
The problem is choosing what to purchase – we want it all. If we really had to pick our faves we would say that the girls dresses are just delightful, the boys waistcoat is ultra cool and the neckpieces are to-die-for cute.
And if you’re off to a baby shower, we’ve found the perfect gift: the collection of Baby Essentials including muslin swaddle squares, reversible soft blankets, caps, mittens and matching rattles, all come in pink, blue and yellow gift sets.
Make sure you visit Mi Dulce An’ya in the children’s section of Takashimaya from 30 October to 12 November for a 20% discount off their latest collection. If you hit the $100 mark, you’ll also receive a special free gift!
