Los Angeles - April 23, 2017

The lovely Lisa Ling arrives at Safe Kids Day on the red carpet with her daughter, Jett, wearing Noko Baby's Hana dress.  

Lisa tells us that this is Jett's favorite dress and would wear it everyday if she could.  We think that Jett is the perfect model, she looks so cute in the pink and orange Hana dress.  The soft cotton voile and hand printed cotton tenugui in this dress makes it as comfortable as it is stylish.  Looking good should never keep a kid from having fun!

Safe Kids Day is an amazing event with fun games, activities and food to delight children of all ages.  The proceeds fund Safe Kids Worldwide whose mission is to keep kids safe on the road, at home and at play with the elimination of preventable injuries.   

A day spent walking through Tokyo is a feast of the senses for anyone.....the sights, smells, and sounds all seem foreign and overwhelming yet the city remains calm and quiet. Getting lost in Tokyo is the best is that can happen to your day. It was on one of these lost expedition walks that Jen and I stumbled upon this adorable little tenugui shops in Dikanyama. We walked in and found instant eye candy. The graphic patterns and color combinations were instant gratification,the cloth was soft to the touch. We fell in love at that moment and knew we had to do something more with this amazing textile.
