LamanBlu Launches Cruise/Resort – Just in time for a Beach Vacation!

May 10, 2010 - PRLog -- “Seaside family holidays provide inspiration for this nautical story, as old, over-exposed photographs remind us of happier care-free times.  Recycled nautical elements add authenticity…Natural fabrics with slubby irregularities such as linen and linen blends are important and add a lived-in feel.” (Trend Bible Kids)

Varying colors of blue and white, along with a custom watercolor seahorse print form the basis of LamanBlu’s first Cruise/Resort collection.  “I love family holidays at the shore and am always inspired by the sense of wonder they promote, my kids and my own.  The beach and the ocean are full of awe-inspiring wonder.” Says Holli Gibson, designer for LamanBlu.

White and pink sand, Caribbean waters so blue they make your soul ache to explore beneath them.  And the eternal hunt for seahorses, those elusive gentle creatures hidden in the reef that hold you spellbound.  What better beachwear than washed linen in Dutch and sun faded colors.  “We’re using inspired finds from the beach, including natural shell buttons and rope trim.”, says  Gibson.  The colors are translucent and a reminder of being castaway on a desert island.  Fabrics are crinkled and cool to the touch.  The garments have a feeling of linear aesthetics to strike the right balance.  Details and finishings are perfect  reminders of a demure and prim gentility.  Harking back to  Victorian vintage, with haute couture precision and radiant elegance.  Nothing is left to chance, nothing is vague, everything is pretty, harmonious and graceful.  A revival of the finest which is enchanting and precious.

Why linen for kids?  The finest 100% linen is one of the purest cloths there is.  It is light and  comfortable, and has a coolness and absorbency  that make it  ideal for sunny days.  It is an ideal fabric for children's sensitive skins and especially good for those with skin conditions, such as allergies and eczema, because it has a natural pH balance. Linen is very environmentally friendly. It comes from flax and every part of the plant is used. The finest fibers are used to make linen fabrics and the by-products are used to make everything from oil to cattle feed to bank notes and fiber board. Waste is minimal and any chemicals used are always fully treated before disposal.   And as always, fabrics in the LamanBlu line are machine washable and dryable, and ironing is optional, including linen.
