All-Woman speesees Staff Prepares to Open Doors to Public with Launch of New Flagship Retail Store, Community Art Space and Children’s Gallery. San Francisco-based organic cotton and fair-trade baby clothing and accessories company speesees is busy designing, transforming and setting up shop in their new, larger showroom and headquarters, and they want to invite you in.
Painted anew with non-VOC paint and designed with a bold, clean vintage-modern aesthetic in mind, the speesees home base is a sight to behold. But they don’t just want their neighbors to come admire the view. speesees aims to utilize the new space, still located in the Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco, for much more than supporting its popular clothing line, which is now carried all over the world. When the new space opens up to the public November 1st, you’ll be able to twist and twirl, doodle and draw, hum and strum right along with the speesees team.
You can pick up a marker and add a drawing to the giant community canvas on the wall, grab a comfy cushion and settle in for an impromptu puppet show, or tune up your vocal chords for an old-fashioned sing-along. And of course, you can plunk your little speesees down to page through a vintage book or participate in an art lesson while you peruse the new fall/winter collection, all the while listening to classic children’s records playing on the turntable.
While the speesees staff, square-footage, and grand designs for the future have blossomed greatly in recent weeks, never fear: the company’s core mission—to be fun, fair and organic in the clothing they make, the way they conduct business, and the baby steps they take towards creating a more sustainable future for our children’s planet—remains firmly intact. The current focus on community involvement and artistic expression reflects the talents and passions of the seven creative, innovative young women that comprise the speesees team. The events and exhibits in the works for coming months will foster the team’s skills and interests, while expanding and deepening the company’s positive impact on children and the community.
Tucked in one nook of the retail store will be speesees owner/creator Rachel Pearson’s artist studio, where she’ll continue developing a children’s book series and characters that will soon become another facet of the speesees brand. Pearson’s beautiful and empowering characters are just one aspect of the speesees brand expansion waiting in the wings—the company is also introducing a line of lifestyle products, such as organic pillows, bedding, wall prints, cards and totes, to be released this winter and next spring.
Pearson dreamed up speesees in 2003, when she began designing and making organic baby clothing as gifts for her friends’ new babies. In the beginning, each speesees design featured a different plant or animal species along with its phonetic spelling. Over time, the brand slowly shifted into what it is today. “We believe it's possible to have fun while working towards a sustainable future for our animal, plant, and human species,” Pearson says. Thus was born the playful name “speesees,” the way Pearson envisions a child might phonetically spell the word.
