What’s “all that’s cute from Japan”? Mee a Bee on Etsy of course! You’ll find a variety of drawstring backpacks, bags, totes, aprons and more featuring the most adorable Japanese fabrics. Everything is designed and handmade by Jacqui, a mom of two boys, who is from New Zealand but lives in Japan. I love her thoughtful approach to the quality textiles she selects:

Non-toxic dyes and environmentally friendly manufacturing practices are top priority when sourcing the materials for Mee a Bee goods for children….The printed fabrics I choose encourage children’s imaginations and not a love for the latest commercialized TV character.

Custom orders are welcome (see the Mee a Bee shop blog for fabric updates) and worldwide shipping is available with reasonable rates.

By the way, I “met” Jacqui via the EtsyMom Team I joined recently and it’s been fun to read her blog as we have both have two boys around the same ages. Plus I love chocolate too so that’s another thing we have in common!
