MEYADEY // This is the new Autumn/Winter Collection 2021 and we’re in love!

Every season we create a batch of exclusive surface pattern designs for Meyadey. The prints we make are made a year in advance and it’s always exciting to finally see the result. After each launch we get to see so many images of kids wearing our designs and we wanted to show you the new AW21 collection that was launched a couple of weeks ago.

This new collection contains some colorful whimsical kids designs. We try to create iconic prints that spark joy and trigger those little one’s imagination. We love bending the gender rules and thrive to create a collection that’s completely gender neutral. Selling cars on dresses and pinks for boys too. We had so much fun working on these! Hope you enjoy them too.

This AW collection is the last collection made with single designs. From now on we are working on releasing prints around a theme. Together with the Meyadey Marketing Team we sat down and created a new concept to launch new collections. We wanted to create a consistent style of designs, with elements that are connected in style and medium. We also adapted a limited color palette for this new range of designs and can’t wait to show you the new re-styled surface patterns we’re come up with. This new concept was finalized this spring so we’ll have to wait a little longer before we can show you those new designs. Stay tuned!

And this week the new fall collection dropped. Due to Covid there was a tiny bit of a delay but the first three prints were finally released and in stores this week.

For Meyadey we create all print designs. Most of the designs are exclusively made. But since out handwriting suits the brand, we also create new prints from somewhat older illustrations. These three designs however are exclusives, made for meyadey. We start the design process a year in advance. Producing a conscious brand is not about speed, we take our time to sit doan and discuss what is important and with every collection we want to launch fun, whimsical designs in colorful palettes. These three prints are the first three of the cooler season. There are 9 more designs to go. And we can't wait to show you the rest! These new itams are now available in stores all over the world. So if you see something you like, there's a retailer in your area too.

We can’t get enough of these wonderful Meyadey images that keep popping up in our feed. We just realized we didn’t post them on our blog yet. So we wanted to show you a quick overview of the new prints that were launched for this season. We worked together with Johan, founder of the eco-conscious Maxomorra brand and we’ve been working hard on setting up the new sister brand; Meyadey that was launch only a few months ago.

After launching the fall & winter prints it is time to show you the spring/summer collection! We created print designs reflecting the colorful worlds of our children. With adorable woodland animals. Food & fruit prints and we also made some cool vehicles. Some with wheels, some love the water. It’s a mix of themes covering all aspects of your kids' imagination. We used a colorful palette with bright summer tones, pastels and, some more muted shades to make the collection diverse and as much gender-neutral as can be.

All items are now available in shops world-wide. So if you’re looking for some pieces in your area just google and I’m sure there’s a place to score a piece or two not too far from your location.

It is so exciting to see a finished project after working hard on a new collection of design or a series of illustrations for our clients. But with finished fabric designs it is even a bigger surprise to see what customers create. To see how final products evolve when people put their own creative energy in there is amazing.

New work: Launching the new Meyadey brand Spring/Summer Collection

For months and months and some more months we’ve been waiting not so patiently to show you what we’ve been working on with the Maxomorra people. This week Meyadey was welcomed to the world. The new sustainable kids fashion sister brand from Maxomorra will contain only Little Smilemakers Studio prints.

We’ve create some print designs for Maxomorra in the past, but the Maxomorra style is something that outgrew us. Their customers were used to a certain style and there was little room for experimenting with new styles and trend. It was time for his very own sister brand. For this very first Spring/Summer launch we’ve create 12 designs. For boys, girls and each drop also has a gender neutral. The designs are not specific to the season because we wanted to create durable pieces that could be worn all year long. All pieces are made from the same certified cotton and high quality eco friendly inks like you’re used to from Maxomorra.

We’ll be posting some more news and images soon once they’ll be launched. So stay tuned and follow Meyadey on Insta to stay in the loop. Curious to see what we’re making for their next collections? You can follow us behind the scenes @littlesmilemakersstudio. And while we’re enjoying this launch we are working on the new collection that is planned a year from now. Meyadey is keeping us busy!
