A, Apple Pie is a new-ish clothing line designed by, if I’m not wrong, the owner of super-popular online store Pupsik Studio. And for Chinese New Year coming up, they’ve launched a new collection of boys and girls Oriental-inspired clothing!
I won’t lie – the girls cheongsams are cuter than the boys shirts. Too adorable if you have a little girl!! But of course, boys get stuck with shirts and not much else, so I’ll have to make do 😉
The new collection is made from 100% cotton fabrics with pearlised polka dots + contrast trims.. which means the cotton will be very wearable and breathable as the kids get *ahem* dragged around from house to house visiting relatives 😉
I just can’t decide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Should I get red +yellow trim, or turquoise + green trim for the kids?? I’m intending to get my kids all matchy-match for Chinese New Year 😉 Possibly pair it with a pair of airy white shorts? I’m thinking jeans would be too formal and hot. Hmmm… decisions decisions!!
Psssstt! You can see the full collection here.
Delphine: Yup. V. expensive fabric was used- it can be worn for evening too since the fabric has a sheen so it looks far from cotton-casual. I think its reminiscent of something very traditionalist but far from what you get in Chinatown-> I’m a huge fan of Shanghai Tang…. and the boys shirts are meant to look Mao-inspired but updated with a twist (Think thats what you mean by school uniformish!) Seen in person the finishing is top notch- and I love how the buttons of the boys shirt are hidden 😉 Its a great compliment to Elly’s versions and I have a 3rd collection that I’m stocking thats heavily printed to round off the offering! Something for everyone!
I’m looking forward to feeling the fabric in-person! Excited after you mentioned Shanghai Tang… I am a massive fan though I don’t own much (so expensive, eek).
I reckon an Apple Pie shirt for formal CNY stuff and Elly shirt for casual CNY stuff would be perfect… it’s exactly what I am to do!
I want the cheongsam in my size!
ME TOO!!! I’d love it in… well.. pretty much any colour…
I think the cheongsams are simply lovely, though a tad expensive. The matching shirts look a wee bit school uniformish though.
I would like the Cheongsam in a ladies size… teehee.
Ack what makes the shirts look uniformish? i don’t really know boys uniforms in SG so I can’t picture it. Maybe I should get the bright red version then, just so it’s obviously a going-out shirt 😉
Looking foward to December, Pupsik Studio and Not Too Big!
