Brand focus: GRAY LABEL SS/17

The new spring/summer 2017 Gray Label collection is now available to buy online at The Wee Store. Amsterdam based Gray Label is designed by Emily Gray for little minimalists of babies and kids aged zero to eight. The collections are contemporary with timeless year-round quality basics and seasonal additions like the pinafore dress and the baby romper. Gray Label offers everyday comfort and practicality which we love here at The Wee Store for our little ones.

SS/17 is inspired by an artist’s atelier with unleashed mini artists sketching and humming their favourite songs referencing little Picassos. Collection items include pinafore dresses, drop crotch trousers and baby salopettes which are all available in a classic palette of grey and nearly black. This season sees Sage green as a new addition plus an on trend Wee Store favourite mustard yellow.

Details include an understated embroidered logo and button step sizing option on straps for longer wearability which we love for ultimate usage. Layer pinafores and salopettes with a simple white or striped tee and items can be layered or worn alone to see you through different seasons.

Makes us grown ups a bit envious but there is a family sweater available on the Gray-Label.com and in the meantime we wait patiently for a grown up salopette.. !

The SS/17 collection ‘Walking through the atelier’ is available to buy online at The Wee Store now.
