NOVEMBER’S FIVE EASY PIECES

TINA SCHREIBER OF IN-DEMAND CLOTHING LINE VELVET & TWEED
TALKS HER FAVORITES OF THE SEASON

Who knows fashion better than the people who create it? Incorporating everything from the
trends inspired by Parisian runways to the needs of modern-day parents who demand quality,
comfort and style, children’s wear 2.0—when it’s done well—is the crystalline moment of fashion
meets function in a way that women’s wear designers don’t often seem to pull off. Like little
vignettes of childhoods come and gone that capture the essence of what it means to be small in
a big, big world, good children’s wear tells a story.

So, once upon a time, there was Velvet & Tweed, an amalgamation of signifiers sewn together so beautifully, you’d think they were the lead in a Franco Zeffirelli film about innocence as it verges toward its inevitable end. Cue the silhouette of two children walking in a field as the sun sets.

We love that Velvet & Tweed designer Tina Schreiber gets childhood in all its glory—and is also able to portray it with enough age-appropriateness to make you feel good about it and enough sophistication for aesthetics to be satiated.


Here, the designer gives us her favorite items of the season.

1. THE PARTY DRESS

“This gorgeous Liberty of London print dress is perfect for holiday parties, with a gathered bodice, ruffled neckline and dramatic puffed sleeves. The finest details include a coordinating diaper cover and lined skirt with tulle crinoline to assist in twirling. Other prints available as well; pick your favorite!”

2. THE WINTER ESSENTIAL

“For every occasion, from a school day to going to Grandma’s house, this beautiful Wool Jumper with tiny pink kisses and coordinating Pink Dot Blouse layer beautifully under the Victorian Velvet Coat.”

3. THE CASUAL GO-TO

“The little velvet pant is so easy to wear. With a full elastic waist, they’re as comfy as leggings, and with ruffles at the hems, these pants will make her the prettiest one at the park! Pick your color or pick up both: raspberry and pastel pink.”

4. FOR THE LITTLE GENTLEMAN

“Looking for the perfect outfit for your mini-man? This charcoal peacoat with anchors on the leather buttons is the coat he’ll wear every day. You'll both love this shirt—it's super-soft cotton herringbone, just like Dad’s! Pair the coat and shirt with these Gray Glenn Plaid Pants—which are 100 percent cotton, 100 percent washable and 100 percent cool—to dress up his ensemble (you can also pair the pants with his favorite T-shirt).”

5. THE CUTEST CORDS

“We love these impeccable cotton wide wale corduroys with leather buttons for the most dapper outfit. Italian Wool Herringbone Suspenders add a little something that is too cute for words. Crawlers will keep his pants on, and adjustable buttonholes in back allow him to keep growing!”

What the heck does "Special Section" mean? Well, it means that these businesses paid a small (like, pretty darn small) fee to be included. THE FAMILY GROOVE strives to support mom and pop businesses by giving them a venue for their super cool sites, ideas and products—and, quite honestly, we strive to pay our bills, too. So we've taken seven articles a month (out of 25+) and made them fun and exciting ways to promote the next best thing, much like in the way a publicist would. We believe in the companies we feature. We research, vet, scrutinize, analyze and obsess over every single solitary company that is included in this section to bring you the grooviest of the groovy. We're all in this brave new world together, right? And so we've got to support each other in any and every way we can. We hope you dig our finds as much as we do.
