Oppan Euro Style: bold, bright kids' accessories with real zing

Pink and baby blue? Bunnies and choo-choos? Not today. We've got a hankering for cozy, slouchy hats, slippers, and newborn mittens with vibrant, European style that we've just found.

 

The owner of Rattle Tat goes straight to Sweden for the sort of bright, iconic fabrics it's hard to find over here in the States. Clouds, stars, buses, monkeys, mushrooms and more, work for both genders in a stretchy mix of 100% cotton and Lycra.

Each piece is designed and handmade by a Swede living in England, which means prices are in pounds and shipping is a bit high. Yay for our European readers, right?

Still, if you're looking for bright colors and unisex accessories no one else will have, you just might find it in the Rattle Tat shop or be able to order it from her fabric page. Hats are available in four sizes from small to extra large, while matching newborn scratch mittens and toddler slippers are one-size. Cuteness however is off the charts. -Delilah
