Holiday-ing at Home At Tea, we design globally inspired clothing that sparks curiosity and connection—traveling the world so we can bring the beauty of different cultures directly to your door. This season, our designers traveled to the Andes region of South America, where they found inspiration in everything from wildflowers to pumas to... penguins! Through these pages, you’ll discover the magic of Patagonia sprinkled with great gifts, family prints, and holiday photo tips, too. As the holidays approach, I encourage you to connect with loved ones and reimagine family traditions in new (and creative!) ways. Send coordinating outfits to the cousins and extra surprise gifts to friends near and far. Snuggle up in matching pajamas and get dressed up to stay in. Make the season even more magical by finding the silver linings in this golden holiday. Let’s be generous with our presence—and presents! Stay connected and curious,
Leigh Rawdon Mom, (Hopefully Soon-to-be) Traveler, CEO & Cofounder

TIP 1:
Find good light. Photography literally means “drawing with light.”
You may remember our photographer friend, Naomi, who helped shoot our fall catalog. This season, she’s been kind enough to make a repeat performance, capturing her kids in Tea and sharing her holiday picture pointers.
TIP 2:
Consider depth and shoot your subjects both far away and up close.

TIP 3:
Change your perspective and experiment with different angles.
TIP 4:
Taking great photos requires taking some not-so-great photos, too. Just keep at it!

Matchy matchy? Not exactly. You may remember sisters, Amya (7) and Marlo (19 months), from our fall catalog. Their mother, Shun Moore, is the creator of Marlo Bea, a California-based headwrap company that promotes cultural diversity and empowerment. Shun celebrates the bond between sisters (and sisterhood in general) by dressing her girls in coordinated styles that reflect their individuality.

We donated $18,000 to The Conscious Kid, an organization dedicated to equity and promoting healthy racial identity development in youth.
GIVING BACK AT H O M E Since our founding, Tea has been committed to making the world a better place for kids everywhere, whether that’s across the globe or across the street. Sticking closer to home these last eight months has inspired us to boost our social justice initiatives by giving back to organizations like The Conscious Kid and the Homeless Prenatal Program. Because to create change, we must raise little global citizens both abroad—and in our own backyard. L E A R N M O R E AT T E ACO L L E CT I O N .CO M / G I V E B AC K Photo: @ramos_sisters
Our long-running School Days program has given back over $375,000 to schools across the country.
Within the past year, we’ve donated over 12,000 pieces of clothing to The Homeless Prenatal Program, a family resource center in San Francisco that empowers low-income mothers.

We’re building a library with Kusi Kawsay, a nonprofit that provides a quality education to the indigenous children in Peru’s Sacred Valley.
We’re donating 100% of proceeds from Tea masks to the Global Fund for Children’s COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund—aimed at helping children affected by the virus.

GIVING BACK ABROAD Since 2003, we’ve partnered with the Global Fund for Children, a nonprofit dedicated to helping children worldwide by working with local grassroots organizations to distribute funds where they're needed most. We’re proud to say that we’ve donated over $600,000 to help advance the dignity of children around the globe. And for every destination we visit, we contribute to the local community in a meaningful way. From schools to orphanages, we believe in giving back and making an impact.
We donated 1,000 new uniforms to the Little Sisters Fund, an organization that fights injustice and poverty by educating Nepalese girls.
We promote activism, equality, empathy, and empowerment for kids and adults. 19

Did you know that some of the largest dinosaur fossils have been found in Argentina and... Utah?! Inspired by our designers’ travels, we asked Utah-based photographer, Elexis Bronson, to shoot her four kiddos in these dino-mite styles.
Ellie (4), Hurleigh (8), and Bentleigh (10) have a roaring good time.
“These outfits are modern enough for mom but cute enough for kids.”
