i started astrid & friends on a whim, in the middle of the night. my second daughter was not a fan of sleeping, and i was spending my evenings sewing, ready for her to wake. one night, during a 3am feeding session, i put an application in for a craft market, before immediately forgetting about it and falling back asleep.

the next morning, i was surprised to find an acceptance in my inbox. three hours later, astrid & friends was officially born, and i was online, frantically placing fabric orders.

i quickly realized that i had a passion for natural, sustainable fibers and fabric printing methods, novelty prints and creating prints for girls and boys that are outside what is typically created - after all, girls deserve access to science themed clothing, and boys deserve prints that aren't just sharks and trucks! you'll find collections here that break the molds and give everyone access to high-quality clothing that will last to be handed down or placed in the heirloom box - while still making it through playtime.
