The Story

I started making Kinderbonnets 10 years ago for the birth of my daughter.

Forty years ago in eastern Germany my mother dressed me in the same style bonnets that I now sew. She kept them in a small cardboard box, along with some dresses and pinafores, that she passed on to me when I had children. I created unique patterns and vintage styles honoring these memories and to preserve clothing that lasts for generations.

During their childhood, my daughters not only wear the bonnets I wore as a child, but the ones that I created and designed along the way. They are the influence and true creators of the continuation of Kinderbonnets.

Kinderbonnets have a timeless design to be treasured and remembered for their simplicity and careful selection of exquisite fabrics. We set the focus on beautiful clothing made in a slow fashion setting. Kinderbonnets are limited in quantity due to availability of the fabrics and mothering journey, with four small children,of the creator and designer.

Bonnet collections are released two to three times a year on a limited basis.
