Our Favorites from "Mini Island" { & A $1,000 Mini Boden Giveaway}

Boden Coupon Code: 8Q8H for 15% off, plus free shipping and returns over $49.

We are huge Mini Boden fans and their new line might be our favorite yet. This season, Mini Boden invites you to “Mini Island” where kids can go WILD for jungle prints and clothes inspired by animals. There’s a whole array of vibrant animals that come to life in hand-drawn prints and detailed appliqués.

My kids were excited to wear their adventurous animal clothes on our recent trip because if you’re going to an aquarium to see the wild, why not dress wild too?

I’ve shared why I shop Mini Boden for my kids plenty of time on this site (quality, comfort, etc) but for this amazing line, I wanted to share a bit about what went into creating these cool prints.

Each and every Mini Boden print is hand-drawn in London by their in-house design team. This new line was brought to life by print designer Laura Shelley. She said:

“I had a vision of how I wanted the print to take shape, so I just started sketching using my imagination. I like to do all of this by hand, because you just can’t get the same finish with a computer. Like the brush strokes on the elephant’s ear – I find it’s much nicer to create this exactly as I want by hand. It feels more authentic, and it really works with the aesthetic of this range, which is quite soft and nostalgic.” Read more about the production of the line here.

We love everything WILD in our house (maybe since we are so wild?) so this line, from swimwear to shark shoes, fits right in.
