Femme Fatale DC

WE’RE SO GLAD YOU FOUND US! HERE ARE ALL OF THE PRODUCT DETAILS AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR OUR LINE.

Raw Cotton Kimono

This vest is a workhorse. It was lovingly woven on a handloom by a women’s co-op in Northern Thailand without the aid of electricity, as it’s been woven for hundreds of years.  Get ready to hear some compliments whenever you wear this.  Seriously!

  Don’t worry it’s not fragile.  If a thread gets caught it magically heals itself.  Stretch it a bit and Voila!

  • Hand-stitched in Thailand. 100% raw cotton. Hand-wash, lay flat to dry. If you ever encounter a snag simply pull at the opposing sides to “heal” the piece.

Thai Cotton Baby Blanket

Lovingly hand stitched in Thailand by the Aria sewing co-op. The patches sewn on each blanket are one-of-a-kind pieces from vintage Hill Tribe skirts. Each one will have a slightly different pattern and be unique to your little one. Choose either the natural or indigo dyed. 

Its double gauze construction provides the perfect coziness for many cuddles to come. Use it to cover a stroller or baby seat while the little one is sleeping, laying on the floor, or ready for nap time.

We think kids can be more than pirates and princesses.  We are committed to designing childrens wear that is functional but cool.  We look for fabrics that are comfortable and can keep up with active imaginations. These onesies and tie-tops are the perfect unisex outfit for your emerging global citizen.

Each piece has been hand-sewn, and then a patch is added made from Hill Tribe vintage skirts, making each one slightly unique.

Teething Ring

We love these hand-made wooden tethers because they’re a safer alternative to plastic or silicone. The wooden beads are food-grade and make just the right amount of noise to not annoy the adults in the room. And, the “bunny ears” are easily removable when they need a bit of freshening up.

The ears are made from repurposed vintage Guatemalan Huipil skirts, and sewn by a Hispanic cooperative in the DMV.  

  • “Ears” are 100% cotton, and the beads are pure Maple wood rubbed with coconut oil.

    Wash the wooden beads with mild soap and oil with olive or coconut oil as needed. The “ears” can be removed and washed with your next load of laundry.

    Origin: Guatemalan fabrics, American wood, Handmade in Washington DC.

Animal Soft Toys

What little kids doesn’t love finding hidden treasure? What parent isn’t always on the hunt for a quiet toy to distract and amuse?

These soft toys are the perfect solution to this dilemma. Each pod unzips to reveal either three monkeys or three bunnies. They’re handmade and small enough for little fingers, but large enough to not be a choking hazard. We love the special details like each critter having it’s own facial expression.

  • Hand-made in Thailand. 100% cotton.

    Hand wash with a gentle detergent as needed, and air dry.

Barnaby Bunny

These bunnies are hand-made out of up-cycled chambray denim, and they’re just the right size for little hands to hold and tug. They’ve got two-toned floppy ears, hand-stitched features, and a lot of soul.

Each one is made with care by a group of refugees and recent immigrants beginning a new life in Washington D.C. With this purchase, you are providing much-needed employment along with hours of enjoyment for your child.

Shibori Napkins & Tea Towels

We believe small luxuries make a difference.  Yes, you could use paper towels, but why?  Cloth napkins are our way of saying even small moments are worth savoring.  “Make Chinese take-out special” is our motto!
