I've been a longtime subscriber to the Very Short List newsletter and I adore the interesting articles and websites that they feature. But when I saw sweet little childrens clothing in the VSL email, I was a bit surprised. They were drawing attention to an adorable made-in-NY shop called Kallio NYC that takes used men's oxford shirts and repurposes them into children's outfits and accessories. I don't usually see children in the newsletter so it was a sweet and very gratefully received surprise.
So, for the last of the 2012 Christmas Giveaways, you have the chance to win any piece from Kallio NYC!

Karina (the owner and maker behind Kallio) has put care into being thoughtful about their creative practices and has produced an adorable collection based on this mindset.
"Kallio was inspired by a desire to re-look at the clothing industry from the perspective of sustainable practices.
For our first seasons collection, pre-loved men’s shirts are collected, sorted, dissected, resewn in ethical factories and given new life. Nothing is wasted.
The basic clothing from previous generations becomes the one-of-a-kind fashion of the next. The cycle continues."
