The Handmade’s Tale
Tess & Tallulah Girls’ Clothing
You’re the mom who sews beautiful and stylish clothes for her kids (in addition to that fulfilling job).
Daydreaming again?
Why stitch yourself up over complex needlepoint when Tess & Tallulah will do it for you? Their boldly patterned jumpers (for girls ages 12 months to 4 years), cozy hooded towels, and cushy quilted changing “mattes” are all crafted by hand.
Made with 100 percent cotton fabric and terry cloth, they’re machine washable and dryer safe. And if admirers ask where you got them, you can honestly answer that they’re handmade.
You just don’t have to say by whom.
