How beautiful are the images above? The gorgeous embroidered knitwear is from a Seattle-based brand called Mouse In The House, which I discovered while I was in the Pacific Northwest earlier this year. The brand was created by husband and wife team, Ashley and Scott Jensen, who aim to create quality heirloom pieces that can be passed down from one generation to the next. Their use of neutral colours means that the pieces can be worn equally by boys and girls and will remain timeless over the years.
What I love most about the brand is that they’re dedicated to bringing economic opportunity to underprivileged women in developing nations. By paying an above-average wage, providing job skills development training and reinvesting 5% of all sales directly into their communities, they help improve the quality of life and self-reliance for underprivileged women. Each piece of clothing comes with a tag which tells you a bit about who knitted and embroidered the piece, and you can also view their website to read about all the makers.
I have a cosy little cardigan tucked away for our baby’s arrival and it was hand-embroidered by Sapana Shrestha, a 24-year-old woman in Kathmandu, Nepal. I loved reading her story and knowing that we’ve helped to support this woman and her family.
