Manchester’s wonderful vintage-inspired accessory business Ophelia Button is appearing at the prestigious Kids.Modern exhibition in London on 24th February. Put on by those clever people at Showhome, Kids Modern promises to be awash with quirky desirables for kids and kidults created by leading international designers.
Think playful hanging pendant lamps, bright 60s pattern cushions and vintage style modular furniture with clean lines and colourful fittings, and marry that with lovely knitted owls, make your own wall paper and funked-up liberty style Scandinavian prints and you’ll be getting somewhere close.
Did we mention that supercool 70s snip and sew brand Clothkits are re-launching at the exhibition too? Remember those kooky marvels that your mum used to whiz you up as you eagerly poured over the catalogue? Well they’re back!
As Ophelia Button’s general PR and copywriting company, Tight Jeans and Jelly Shoes will be there on the day to cover all the exciting events as they unfold.
“I’m so excited about Kids.Modern that I can hardly bear it,” puts in Ophelia Button’s diminutive mastermind Nico Dawson. “I’ve been working hard to put together a very special collection of children’s jewellery for the day, along with a new collection of button canvases on various themes.
My Kids.Modern collection is inspired by the quirky lines and bold colours of 60s and the tea party glamour of the 40s and 50s. Everything is made lovingly by hand from vintage buttons, buckles and forgotten treasures coupled with today’s colours and durable fastenings.
Children appreciate really good design as much as adults do and I intend to give them a collection which will make them squeak with delight! ”
Kids. Modern takes place at Dulwich College London SE21 on Sunday 24th February between 10am and 4pm. Admission £5.
Don’t forget to look out for the launch of Ophelia Button’s new e-commerce website too! News coming soon at the home of our website copywriting.
