UPDATE (03.09.22): WE RAISED $1000 🤩  THANK YOU, MAMAS! We are so so excited to report that we raised $847.50 from our pledge of 25% of sales during this time!  We are adding a personal donation and making it an even $1000 to go to children in the Ukraine crisis.   Thank you to all who purchased during this time - we're loving all of the good vibes!!  And if you missed out on this, please please consider going straight to UNICEF to donate even just the price of your next latte!  Love you all!  XOXO Sawako We're pledging 25% of sales from March 5-7th to Unicef As a mother, it breaks my heart to see families being separated, displaced and distressed during this horrendous attack on the people of Ukraine. It is painful to know there is not much we can tangibly do from afar except to donate funds to worthy, transparent organizations with feet on the ground.  That is why we have decided to send our love by donating 25% of all sales from March 5th-7th to one of our favorite non-profits, UNICEF. A bit about how UNICEF is helping: "UNICEF's response outside of Ukraine includes setting up 'Blue Dot' centers at border entry points and other strategic locations to support the delivery of emergency services to vulnerable families. Blue Dots, a concept that originated during the refugee crisis of 2015-2016, are organized in close coordination with national and local authorities, and in collaboration with UNHCR and other protection partners. From these Blue Dot hubs, UNICEF can provide information to traveling families, psychosocial support and referrals to social workers and health services. They also facilitate family tracing and reunification efforts for children who have become separated from their family during their journey." -Unicef.org Click HERE to read more about the work UNICEF is doing to help displaced families. See their Instagram page for insight into their work as well as photos and video of the situation at hand. If a purchase during this time isn't right for you, we still encourage you to donate even just $5 directly to UNICEF. As they say, every little bit helps! Thank you from Sawako + the Miki Miette Fam

Hey Mamas! Black History Month is here!  And what better way to celebrate than to engage your kids in this month-long opportunity for social and emotional growth! As an immigrant and person of color, I love these times of collective effort and energy to better our relationships with our fellow souls of all different races.   Where to start?  That's always the looming question.  Us mamas are always busy, tired and sleep deprived (in a loop).  So we've found a few sites that might help with that (not the sleep part)!  Check these out for some really great information and suggestions on things to do with your kids during Black History Month: PBS Celebrating Black Leaders Parade: 25 Ways to Honor Black History Month with Your Kids The Conscious Kid: Disrupting Racism, Inequity and Bias Enjoy! xoxo Sawako + the Miki Miette Fam

Celebrating Black History Month                                                            We're shining a spotlight on a few of our favorite books, which honor the lives and accomplishments of Muhammad Ali, Maya Angelo and Rosa Parks. These inspiring stories are perfect for reading out loud to your babies and toddlers while enjoying the quirky and stylish illustrations on a sturdy board book.   An empowering book with an inspiring message, My First Rosa Parks, about a civil rights activist who stood up by sitting down —  in 1955, she refused to give up her seat to a white man on a segregated bus, sparking the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Her courageous decision had a huge impact on civil rights   Introduce your young readers and dreamers to "the greatest" boxer of all time and activist, Muhammad Ali. When he was little, Muhammad Ali had his bicycle stolen. He wanted to fight the thief, but a policeman told him him to learn how to box first. After training hard in the gym, Muhammad developed a strong jab and an even stronger work ethic. His smart thinking and talking earned him the greatest title in boxing: Heavyweight Champion of the World. Maya Angelo, a fascinating icon and one of the world's most beloved writers and speakers, will inspire kids of all ages. Maya Angelou spent much of her childhood in Stamps, Arkansas. After a traumatic event at age eight, she stopped speaking for five years. However, Maya rediscovered her voice through wonderful books, and went on to become one of the world's most beloved writers and speakers. Stay tuned as we add more features throughout the month...

As loving parents and friends we all want to do what we can to adhere to social distancing, but we can still be a part of those lives we are separated from by sending gifts. Whether you’re attending a virtual baby shower, celebrating a little one's birthday, or just giving a gift to say "I miss you," we’re here to help! Our online store is open! And we’re taking extra safety precautions to ensure your package gets delivered to you quickly and safely. Check out our top 5 ideas to consider when sending gifts to the ones you love! Pocket Tee Sailor and City Short Sailor 1. What Sizing Should I Buy? If you're looking to send a take home outfit, we recommend sending your loved one a size Newborn. If the new bundle of joy has already arrived, we recommend sending an outfit that is 3 to 6 months larger than their current size to ensure they will get to wear your gift for some time. Casey Romper Outsiders 2. Gifting Baby Rompers Baby rompers are a great choice as gifts!  They’re comfortable for babies, easy for Moms to dress their babies in, and so adorable for those #OOTD photo ops. Our Casey romper has been a popular style every season! Easy to throw on and comfy to wear for naps and play. Flutter Dress Rainbow and Bloomer Rainbow 3. Gifting Baby Sets Baby sets are an ideal choice if the new parent likes to mix and match and create their own unique looks for their babies. For sets, our Flutter dresses and bloomers for girls are a great choice! For boys, our Pocket tees and City shorts. 4. Add some Baby Accessories Make it more personal! Adding cute items like hair bows and other baby items will make your gift all the more special! Plus, they look so cute for photos! We have some of the cutest bow headbands in almost every color and these adorable night lights are perfect for every babies nursery! Sweater Knit Romper Grey 5. No Gender Reveal? Go with neutrals! If you don’t know the sex of the baby, neutrals are always a good choice. It’s also good to consider where your gift receivers might live, as you can send styles that give options to layer. We love our Layette Sweater Knit Romper Grey for a great neutral style and our Layette Sweater Knit collection are good for layering.   We know it’s hard to not be there in person, but giving a gift in spirit helps too! We hope we can help make it more personal for a special mom to-be or for a little one’s birthday. To find more styles, you can shop the rest of our Layette Spring collection here: Girls Layette + Boys Layette

Due to fast fashion, the industry is producing DOUBLE the amount of clothing than it was in 2000.  At this moment, clothing & textiles accounts for 4% of the world’s waste every year, 25 BILLION tons of waste for North America alone that releases greenhouse gasses as it decomposes in landfills.

This may just look like another cute photo of a romper and a dress to you.  On the surface, it is.  But when I see this photo, I see my livelihood, the blood, sweat & tears invested in creating this line and getting it to where it is now... the years spent cultivating a deep relationship with my factories and their workers... the days I've spent traveling to Asia to visit and work hand in hand with them, away from my kids, working my butt off and squeezing in a 2 week trip within 5 days so I can get back to my family ASAP because we can't afford a full time nanny...
