New Yorkers, have you spotted Bibi Button around the city? She's been hanging out at some of her favourite spots this week (Kate Spade, Marimekko, Parsons School for Design and countless coffee shops, bars, restaurants.)
If you're coming to the New York Gift Fair (only open to retailers, sorry!) then do stop by and see us on booth 1628 - you'll be able to see a BIG Bibi Button with your very own eyes (she's very rare!)
We love NYC!

Remember our trip to LA back in June? Following the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Gwen Stefani asked Momiji to be part of her fabulous High Tea party to raise funds for Save the Childrens work there.
Gwens party guests each took time to paint a Chiyo Momiji doll, these were packaged up and sent with messages of love to children and families affected by the tsunami.
Yumi from Save the Children Japan sent us images of the packages arriving in Rikuzentakata. She said the girls thought they were super-kawaii!
Big thanks to all the fabulous guys & girls from Save the Children, No Doubt, Rebel Waltz and Royal/T who made this happen.
