Welcome The World Of Mini Empire




I’m so happy to be welcoming our newest collection into the guild. A collection of illustrations and playful designs that are treasures to keep and invitations to a world where the familiar meets the imaginative, a world created by Jenny von Döbeln.

With enchantng patterns and rich detail Jenny’s ‘illustrations are distinguished by storytelling’, bridging a world of her own creation with familiar characters there is always a touch of surrealism.

‘Another birdsnest’  an idea of an imaginary home. Inspired by memories of childhood, climbing in trees, and the love of old beautiful architechture.




‘Deep woods’ inspired by the wildlife in the ancient woods of Sweden


‘The pear’ inspired by old folkloric patterns and embroidery


It is designs like these that get me excited about design for children. Designs that give life to imagination, that push its borders and give everlasting memories of the most treasured part of our lives. 

When first I saw the collection I fell. I fell into each picture like Alice down the rabbit hole. Another world on paper and one I knew I wanted for my own childrens’ walls as well as mine. The pictures hung on in our home that we journey into, the ones that will become part of our playful world, and give stories to our imaginations. Treasured and passed down. 

Searching for pieces that uphold our own values we bring this collection of well considered pieces that bring the aesthetic and design we look for for ourselves and give to our own children.

Les Gambettes - Ready to Wear Vintage




Discovering great design is such a joy. We've been a fan of Les Gambettes since their beginning. Bringing their pieces into our own homes we've loved their colours and classic design. Still very much in love we thought it about time to bring them into Sisters Guild boutique. 

A collection of both childrens and adults furniture that marries both vintage charm and a fresh modern vibrancy through great design, colours and prints.  A nostalgic shape reminiscent of the school desks of our childhood, revisited with the fresh vibrancy of today. Les Gambettes reawaken a classic design shape and bring it to life with pops of colour and pattern. It's vintage but its ready to wear. 

The story behind Les Gambettes is so fitting its easy to believe that it was always going to be...... it begins in the classroom. Two girls met on the school benches and became friends. After graduating they both enter the wortls of fashion and in 2011 they took their love of fashion, of colour, of textiles to begin a new adventure together and Les Gambettes was born. 

Falling head over heels in love with everything about Les Gamebttes, their style, their ethos, their story and their passion shines through in their designs. 

We applaud their vision and celebrate their designs and bring you our very first collection here in the boutique and what better way to begin than with a collection of limited edition designs in collaboration with mini labo.


Take a look at our collection here alongside the collaboration with mini labo who have dressed Suzie and little Suzie in their beautiful 'cache cache' print.
