🌈 Step into Rapozza, a Seattle Restored pop-up bringing colorful, hand-drawn prints and thoughtfully designed kidswear to Pacific Place!
We recently sat down with Brenda, co-owner of @rapozzasquad, whose family-owned brand celebrates imagination, creativity, and the magic of childhood. Brenda designs every print by hand, while her sister Daniela handles strategy and their mom, Mariela, oversees fulfillment and day-to-day operations. The collections are made from Peruvian Pima and Tangüis cotton, cut and sewn in a small, female-led workshop in Peru.
🎨 This fall and winter, Rapozza will host a lineup of family-friendly creative events, including tote weaving and painting, kids’ art-to-embroidery projects, custom patches, and collaborations with local artists. Keep an eye on @rapozzasquad for upcoming events and details!
👉 Read our interview with Brenda at the link in our bio, and stop by Rapozza in @pacific_place to explore the collection.
