The Kids Collection
The Summer hols are all about the kids but with the start of the new term we thought we would share this collection of happy makes for the minis. Let's banish the back to school greys with colour and keep the holiday vibes alive! O and don't forget that shopping small has supporting a better world at it's heart as you're in control of where what you buy comes from, that's got to be a better legacy for the littles. While the whole of the Cornwall Shop Small Directory is packed with local love here's a curated selection that's my top picks for shopping small for kids.
Mashlings
The Mashlings range of quality childrenswear has cheerfulness, comfiness and sustainability at it's heart with a range of fabrics illustrated with Cornish coast inspired designs.

Monica
The foundations of Mashlings have been built on an enthusiasm for textiles and illustrative art inspired by our growing family and Cornish surroundings. I love hand drawing my colourful illustrative prints before having them made into high-quality unique fabrics then sewing every piece with great precision and care at every stage.
Martamaps
Martamaps have created a series of plastic-free family-friendly board games based on maps of Cornish towns. Players are introduced to Cornish life, learning about iconic sights and taking part in fun interactive challenges.

Marta
This project, started during the National lockdown to virtually escape and stroll around town, is now helping me to discover the history, geography and heritage of this magical place, that now I call home. I always loved maps as they make you aware of where you are, where you’ve been and where you want to go next!
Molf & Bertie
At Molf & Bertie it's all about paper, card, more paper and lots of scissors! They craft personalised and bespoke portraits and prints for your loved ones and homes - perfect kid's room wall art and newborn mementos.
