LittleBird Gallery is happy to host a holiday sale of two of our favorite children's clothing lines. In their second annual event at the gallery, the Bluebird and Black Rabbit designers showcase newest styles for youngsters. Normally sold through fine boutiques across the country, this is a rare event to come browse the selections in their entirety! About bluebird
Gentle durability, attention to detail and a fondness for finding a great fit is the foundation for design at Bluebird. Created in San Francisco by designer Stephanie Scarpulla, the line combines classic styling with the fabrics she reproduces from her own feedsack collection. Soft, gentle florals, quaint geometrics from the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s - the utilitarian but beautiful feedsacks were originally used to obtain sugar, meal, grain and feed from the mills. The resourceful farm wife recycled the printed feedsacks (about the size of a pillowcase) into dish cloths, diapers, nightgowns and other household uses. Today one can find feedsacks all over antique markets - sometimes in tact, sometimes in the original packaging - but mostly in pieces, in quilts, aprons and baby clothes. The printed patterns of these feedsacks have long been forgotten - they are simple and delicate; and in every Bluebird piece - from the simple a-line skirts to the puffed sleeve shirts - every detail is inspired by these fabrics - every detail is feminine, playful and finely crafted.

About black rabbit
Black Rabbit is the creation of designer Marguerite de Balincourt. Every fabric, stitch and button choice reflect her loves, her ideas and the aesthetics of her own youth which was split between France and California. Marguerite's clean designs are an elegant mix of the classic styling she grew up wearing and the lighthearted playfulness she still possesses today. This unique balance allows for every piece in the collection to be versatile enough to be mixed and matched with others in the line or as a complement to something as casual as a pair of jeans and sneakers.In this time of big corporate entities masquerading as small independent labels, Black Rabbit is very proud to be designed and crafted locally in Los Angeles, absolutely sweatshop free and with a clear conscience.
