Fruitbowl - Fresh Ideas from Hawke's Bay

Tuckbox is a fantastic range of kids clothing for 4 - 12 year olds - and it's designed and distributed by local sisters right here in Hawke's Bay.

Sisters Amy Nilsson and Soph Hansen come from Hawke's Bay retail royalty - anyone remember Stitches (THE place to get your Holiday T back in the 80's)? And Bob's Jeans? And 95mph? That was their dad, Brian McAra. And mum Lorraine currently has Blue Moon in Havelock North.

The Tuckbox Winter 2010 collection is the label's second season and to celebrate Amy and Soph hosted a Tuckbox event at Cape Estate last weekend - and it was a smash hit with the kids (and the mums)!

My own daughters are notoriously fussy shoppers - especially when it comes to pink! - but we came home with the navy blue and a red jersey dresses shown above (and 2 t shirts and 4 pairs of leggings - but I digress...). They were so popular that the little toads refused to take them off and wore them to bed!

Amy & Soph have just taken Tuckbox to the next level with the TUCKBOX online shop, which is very dangerous for an avid online shopper like me!

Congrats Amy and Soph, I am really stoked Tuckbox is going so well and keep the cool styles coming!
