Our garments are illustrated tales: they carry a character, a narrated story, and the touch of those who sew them with love.
It’s not just children’s fashion—it’s a bridge between play, reading, and purpose: a world where imagination blooms and every stitch transforms lives.
In an increasingly digital world, Tailored Stories was born with a simple yet powerful formula: to return to children the magic of the tangible—through clothing, play, and literature.
What began in 2021 with prototypes, hand-stitched dolls, and printed tales soon became a journey of innovation and purpose. Step by step, we brought together voices, hands, and talents: seamstresses, illustrators, storytellers, and musicians who found in this project both meaningful work and a space to create.
Today, our garments are far more than children’s fashion—they are stories to be worn. Each piece carries original illustrations, a hidden doll in its pocket, and a QR code that unlocks narrated and musical tales. This way, children don’t just get dressed—they read, play, and dream with every stitch.
Thanks to our partnership with Maravillarte SAS, we are able to print directly on natural fabric with sustainable inks, each illustration is printed alongside the cutting pattern, making every garment unique, precise, and faithful to the original design.
Tailored Stories is not just a brand—it’s an entirely new narrative format that brings together three worlds—toys, books, and fashion—into one product. A sustainable model that redefines how stories are told while creating opportunities for women heads of household, illustrators, and creatives from diverse disciplines.
Our story is the sum of many: those who sew, illustrate, narrate, and produce; and the children who, by wearing a story, discover that imagination can live in every pocket.
At Tailored Stories, we believe that stories shape childhood, sparking imagination and nurturing a love for reading. In a world where digital screens dominate, we bring literature to life through fashion—turning garments into gateways to magical worlds. Each piece is designed to keep storytelling alive, making books a cherished part of growing up. Because every child deserves to dream, explore, and carry a story close to their heart.
At Tailored Stories, we believe children’s clothing can be much more than fabric and seams—it can be a universe of play, reading, and imagination. Each garment is a story to be worn, with original illustrations by different artists, a hidden doll in the pocket, and a QR code that opens the door to tales narrated with magical voices.
Our project was born in Colombia with a clear purpose: to inspire children to dream while creating dignified jobs for women and communities who find in sewing a source of stability and well-being. With every stitch, we weave not only garments, but also stories that accompany little ones and transform lives.
For us, fashion is not just about dressing—it is about telling, teaching, inspiring, and planting seeds for the future.
“Tailored Stories is Colombian children’s fashion that brings imagination to life. Each garment is an illustrated tale—with a hidden doll, a narrated story, and every stitch handcrafted by women who find dignity and stability in sewing. More than clothing, we create worlds where children dream and communities thrive.”
