Established by Estonian-born mother and daughter creative duo, the unique, upcoming label fuses an assortment of colors and themes inspired by the Far East and European areas. Throughout their eclectic fashion collections, Relax Baby Be Cool heavily features an array of clashing prints that are adorned onto exquisite tailoring, made for both men and women. Their designs are exclusive, handmade, and truly one-of-a-kind, created from exotic cotton and crafted with cool air, impressive attention to detail, and above all, passion.
The brand’s philosophy is beautifully and poetically illustrated on their captivating online platform, which gives the reader an insight into Relax Baby Be Cool’s authenticity…
“From the henna hands in the bright stalls of Jakarta, in the torn mochila over Singapore and Amsterdam, through the blue eyes of relentless seas with Estonian roots of knowledge and experience, Sparked from a situation, ironed with love, touched by the hands of a little magic, and pushed by the mountain.”
Authentic Indonesian batik emerges as the identifiable signature that continuously runs through the brand’s works. Their magnetizing patterns blended with an extraordinary love for chic, clashing colors is seen decorated onto a spectacular collection of relaxed, tailored outfits. Batik, with a legacy of ancient traditions and Spanish leather which holds premium and historical qualities that is acknowledged to be the finest in the world, further contributes to the modern touch and exceptional quality that makes Relax Baby Be Cool who they are today.
