We first saw The Brand’s collection for Spring Summer 2012 at CPH kids in Copenhagen last August. And we absolutely love this collection, feminine yet trendy and independent style for the girls and proper cool clothes for boisterous boys.
The Brand, also known as the BRANDstrom Company, is available in the UK at Scandinavian Minimall and at Nordic Kids

Thanks for the thoughtful post, Megan. It’s good to hear what is moitnativg people to read.I find it interesting that our motivations are almost exactly opposite. The motivation you describe could be labeled primitivist’, i.e., we need to get back to the earliest, purest church. That’s a long tradition, older even than the Reformation. T. D. Bozeman captured the idea beautifully in the title of a book: to live ancient lives’.But for my own part, I am much less skeptical that the history of the church has been an accumulation of errors. Rather, I think we should expect the church to be growing over time in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, and that believers are better off today precisely because they have a long and honorable tradition. In other words, it seems to me that the best way to be faithful to the church of the apostles is to be faithful to the church of the apostolic fathers, and of the ante-Nicene fathers, and the Nicene fathers, and the post-Nicene fathers, and so on all the way down to the present.Our difference just goes to show how much diversity there can be while still finding a shared interest in the fathers of the church. Doubtless, both of our views will be challenged and modified by the actual encounter with the texts.
