Fairtrade produced and handmade in Peru, Cabbages & Kings was launched last year by Alexandra Gizela. For this Fall/Winter the line introduces a fresh new colour palette, and is announcing the arrival of hats and home decor items (soon!).
We spoke last year not very long after the launch; how is your little entreprise growing?
Cabbages and Kings : we are currently sold in the USA (Sweet William, Nonchalant Mom, Estela NYC, Eggy in LA), Australia (Skip to My Lou), Germany (Justelami Muncih), South Korea, and Norway. The list of stockists will soon expand to the UK and to Italy as we signed contracts with sales agencies in these two countries. We are very happy with the results!
