Lillelam celebrates 20 years!

In Operagata you will find the shop Lillelam, a Norwegian brand that specializes in merino wool clothing for babies and young children. This year they, and their iconic babysuit, turn 20 years old!

If you, your child or grandchild are under the age of 20, there is a good chance that you have had a Lillelam kick suit, because every year enough Lillelam suits are sold to cover 80% of children born in Norway with this one piece of clothing which eventually has become iconic.

The story of Lillelam

Pernille B. Siem is co-founder of Lillelam and designer of the kick suit which has become a well-known and beloved regular in families with children in thousands of homes. It was developed according to a need she had when she herself had children and discovered that the children's clothing market in Norway consisted mostly of synthetic textiles or rough wool that itched, and a total absence of control chemicals or ethics in the production line.

The answer was a high-quality collection, with products for children from premature to 8 years of age, made under safe conditions and from pure natural material in 100% merino wool, which should last and be passed down again and again. This was the basic idea for the brand and was the start of Lillelam in 2004.

The babysuit

The iconic babysuit is made from the softest and purest merino wool, with love and care in as sustainable and ethical a way as possible.

The suit has a collar and a practical zip, and fits well as, for example, a wheelchair or driving suit. Sleeves and legs can be folded down as the child grows, extending the time of use considerably.

All of Lillelam's garments are both free of harmful chemicals and hypoallergenic. The perfect gift for a newborn, christening, birthday and baby shower!
