A painting your kid can wear.
A paint horse in tan and cobalt trots across a field of kelly green, edged in a running stitch of orange, like a small framed painting worn on the chest. It has the look of a grown-up's favorite sweater, the one with a story behind it, scaled down for a kid and knit in NYC from GOTS-certified organic Italian cotton. Panel, border, and horse are one piece with the sweater.
The horse isn't printed on, the way most kids' graphic sweaters are. It's intarsia, a technique where the picture is knitted directly into the fabric, stitch by stitch, the way heirloom sweaters were always made. It won't crack, peel, or fade like a print, because it's not sitting on the sweater. It is the sweater.
Ivory keeps it quiet enough for a school day. The green panel is what makes it the sweater other parents ask about. Contrast-tipped collar, ribbed cuffs and hem. Unisex and sized 2-3T to 12/13, so it hands down to a sibling, or passes forward through our Pass It On resale program.

Why Parents Love It
Heirloom-quality construction meets everyday comfort. It's the gift that gets remembered: unusual enough that no one else shows up with it, and wearable enough that it actually leaves the house. Once it's outgrown, our Pass It On program gives it a second life.
