TLC with our little ones is fuel for our hearts; colorful end-of-summer playdates are in high demand as we head into the season of shorter days and more commitments. Brands at Femme Fatale DC have your for-fun and Labor Day picnic needs in mind. You’ll find vibrant hues, sustainable products, and stand-out textures throughout the shop. 

“Mommy + Me” looks have never been more colorful, breathable, sustainable, and soft. Made of 100% certified bamboo, MuseThreads prioritizes design, community, and comfort with artful rich patterns. Make the vibe extra cozy with Turkish Towels from Buldano.

Candy-colored bracelets from SEYYAH bring sweetness to any style: make it glam or ball-park playful. Designed by a mom and daughter duo, all jewelry, from earrings to necklaces, are handcrafted in limited runs with prices that offer a fair wage to all makers. Keep it light and comfortable with color-confident earrings from Official Royal Watch. 

From spotting to heavy days, Tebeiyou provides eco-savvy menstrual protection. This reusable pad is absorbent, discrete, and takes laundry drama and period-product waste way down.  Brought to our shop by Glass Ceiling Plants

Carry it all in an eye-catching, durable tote from India Love. This international, and seasonal shop, offers up goods sourced and crafted in India, inspired by the bold colors of the culture and life in the tropics. Bring your free spirit to the party. 

Wind down with whimsical and therapeutic bath products from Soak + Relax. Handmade in Maryland, each offering embodies local flare and a love of luxury. 

Send a note and sticker to a friend, or that cool auntie, with a blank inside “All woman” greeting card, collaboratively made by MELROY Art and Briget Heidmous; share your wild side with playful and sexy stickers from AnaMarie King. 

As we move through the last bits of summer may we be grateful for ourselves and the relationships that have brought us through and continue to bring us together.
