Hand made apparel with signature cropped appliques

The Bean Story

Born from a love of designing kids clothing

All Things Bean began with a love for designing kids clothing and the birth of our own little bean. After 10 years designing for GapKids, The Children's Place and Tommy Hilfiger, it was time to take what I learned and do it myself.

We feature handmade, high quality pieces with signature cropped icons, hand-stitched details and fun fabrics, using re-purposed materials where we can.

All things bean is built around a simple idea: clothing for infants, toddlers, tweens and women should feel personal, playful and genuinely well made. Each piece begins with soft, comfortable fabric chosen for everyday wear, then gains its character through a signature cropped applique and hand-stitched details that give every garment a warmth you can see up close. The result is apparel that looks considered rather than mass produced, made to be worn often and passed along, and designed to fit real life with small children in mind.

The collections move through the stages of growing up without losing a shared visual language. Baby Bean focuses on the gentlest essentials, including bibs, bodysuits in long and short sleeves, caps, burp cloths and coordinated sets in soft cottons. Little Bean carries that same spirit into dresses, tees and tanks for toddlers, while the tween and women's lines translate the applique approach into relaxed, wearable shapes. Together they form four lines with one handmade approach.

What sets the work apart is the finishing. Appliques are cropped and shaped with care, then stitched by hand so each icon sits with a slightly individual character. Small hand-stitched touches appear where they matter, adding texture and charm without overwhelming the garment. Because so much of the process happens by hand, no two pieces feel quite identical, and that small variation is part of the appeal for families who want clothing with a little personality rather than a perfectly uniform finish.

Comfort and practicality sit alongside the decorative side. Soft cottons and easy silhouettes keep garments gentle against delicate skin and simple to move in, whether a baby is crawling, a toddler is running, or an older child is heading off to school. Thoughtful construction means pieces hold up through washing and repeated wear, so the details that make them special stay intact. The aim is clothing that feels good from the first wear and continues to feel good long after.

Safety matters as much as style, and every item is made to meet CPSIA compliance requirements. That commitment reflects a broader care for the families who wear the clothing: fabrics are chosen with comfort in mind, trims and details are considered carefully, and the finishing process is handled with attention rather than speed. Parents can dress their children in pieces they love knowing the garments were made with the same standards they would want for their own family.

Photography on the site leans into bold, full-bleed imagery that lets the clothing and its details stand out against a dark, high-contrast backdrop. The visual style is deliberately clean and angular, with generous space around the important things and tight, orderly grids where there is more to browse. It is a look that keeps attention on the handmade qualities of the apparel, letting fabric, stitching and shape do the talking rather than busy decoration.

Beyond the shop, the site gathers the story behind the brand, a look at events and boutiques where the clothing can be found, reviews from families, and news worth sharing. A newsletter keeps interested shoppers in the loop about new arrivals and seasonal offerings, while account features make it easy to follow favorites. Social channels offer another way to keep up with what is new, so customers can stay connected however they prefer to browse.

Shopping is designed to be straightforward, with clear navigation through each collection and simple options for delivery, returns and gift cards. Terms and conditions are set out plainly, and a newsletter signup makes it easy to hear about what is coming next. Whether someone is expecting a baby, shopping for a growing toddler, or looking for something for themselves, the goal is an easy, friendly experience that matches the handmade, high-quality spirit of the clothing itself.
