Pics From My Latest Scandinavian Shopping Spree


Posted August 24th, 2011 by holly@huset No Comments »

I recently returned from my latest Scandinavian shopping trip and wanted to share some photos with you.

As many of you know, I travel to Scandinavia several times a year looking for up-and-coming designers, and to secure the latest items for Huset customers.

During this trip, I traveled to Stockholm to visit with houseware vendors, and to Copenhagen for Scandinavia’s biggest fashion fair.

Here are some pics of my trip…

Custommade - Danish Fashion Pieces

Custommade is a Danish company and the brainchild of Christian Dam. Christian, with the help of celebrated designer Anne Rasmussen, creates beautiful and modern fashion pieces for today’s sophisticated urban woman.

Their pieces are modern, yet timeless and embody the Scandinavian design ideal… producing pieces that are beautiful in both their appearance and their functionality.

While their pieces are certainly in keeping with the times, they aren’t caught up in trends or concerned with fashion fads. Each piece is a new modern classic and made to last.

The goal at Custommade is to make beautiful clothing of uncompromising quality and to make its clothing accessible to any woman who appreciates great style over the latest fad.

Scandinavian Clothes And Toys – Just For Boys


Posted September 27th, 2010 by Guest 1 Comment »

Scandinavian Clothes & Toys - Just For Boys!

Here are some great ideas for that special little boy in your life…

The t-shirt can be worn by itself while the weather is still warm or with a long sleeve (as pictured above) when it gets colder.  The tee would look good with shorts, jeans, or even khakis and can be worn to school or just to hang out while playing.

The little box comes with puzzles inside but can also be used as a lunch box to take to school. Last, but not least, is Playsam’s wooden car (the Streamliner) and what boy doesn’t love a little toy car?

All in all, any little boy would love these Scandinavian clothes and toys.

We’d like to congratulate Denise again for winning the tickets and thank her for taking the time to send us her photos and thoughts!

Denise had a great time at the show and had this to say about Odd Molly’s 2011 lineup for Spring/Summer:

“I’ll describe what I saw like this — a beautiful mix of colors (purples, berries/wines, taupe, dusty blue, natural, grey)… also a striking use of gold as accent, rich textures (patchwork, lace, satin, silk, cotton) and a great …
