Printfresh
We had the pleasure of working with our friends at Printfresh earlier this summer on a collection full of our favorite patterns and colors, and we fell even more in love with this dynamic, playful brand in the process! Known for their whimsical patterned pj’s and loungewear, this Philadelphia based brand has changed the game when it comes to comfy sets that can transition from lounging around your home to running errands! From darling sleep shirts to breezy robes, to matching sets, Printfresh’s line of ethically sourced, size inclusive products are the perfect addition to your loungewear lineup. Not to mention their extensive collection of the most playful patterns…. There is truly something for everyone! Check out our roundup of our current favorites below!
SZ Blockprints
If you know us, you know traditional block print patterns are one of the quickest ways to our hearts, which is why SZ Blockprints has been a long time favorite of ours!! Every pattern featured in the brand’s collection is hand carved into wooden blocks printed by artisans at SZ’s partner studio in Jaipur. Each piece takes approximately 10 hours to complete, which makes the garment, accessory, or home item even that more special. We adore SZ’s passion for the Jaipur community and preserving the historical technique of hand block printing, so we are over the moon to share their products and story with our community! Take a peek at some of our current favorites from their pre Fall collection that we would snap up with our $50 gift card!
