RAIN G B IN

A year ago, Tea’s design team journeyed to Peru, a colorful country that’s home to ancient civilizations, rich traditions, and mountains that seem to touch the sky. From bustling Lima to rural Chinchero, our designers visited the mercados, Machu Picchu, and even a llama farm, connecting with local artists and finding inspiration (and rainbows!) at every turn.

Speaking of rainbows, did you know that the Incans considered the Andes the birthplace of rainbows? Way up in the clouds, women weave vibrant textiles out of brightly dyed alpaca wool and tourists flock to candy-striped Rainbow Mountain. Symbols of rebirth, rainbows burst through the gray, spreading hope and happiness. They’re an important part of our new collection, and you’ll find them in our hand-drawn prints and scattered throughout these pages.

Although back-to-school is different this year, the sentiment remains the same: seasons still change, kids still play, and connections are still made. Together, we can build community across borders and chase rainbows in our own backyard.

Stay connected and curious,

Leigh Rawdon Mom, Traveler, CEO & Co-Founder

TEA GIVES BACK As we travel the globe for our inspiration, visiting beloved landmarks is only part of the journey. Tea is dedicated to giving back to nonprofits like Kusi Kawsay in the Sacred Valley—where we’re helping build a new library! This independent school provides low-income, indigenous children with a high-quality education, placing a special emphasis on global awareness, ecological integrity, and social justice.

Together, we’ll create a better world for kids everywhere.

We’ve introduced you to our friends, Taryn, Martin, and their three kids, Matilda (9), Francis (8), and Viggo (4) of the @quartiercollective before. After two years of traipsing through time zones and hosting Family Gatherings around the globe, their plans (and lives) took a detour and they’re back in the States… for now.

But whether they’re in Kyoto or Idaho, these adventure-seekers crave easy, comfy looks for school—wherever that may be!

The Rainbow Connection P H OTOS BY E M I KO DAV I E S @ E M I KO DAV I E S

You may remember author and chef Emiko Davies, and her two daughters, MariÚ (8) and Luna (2) from our Mediterranean collection. We forged a fast friendship in Greece and asked Emiko to photograph her girls at home in Florence. Not only did the girls chase rainbows in their own backyard—they also whipped some up in their kitchen!

“Pancakes are usually our weekend treat, but I turned this into an afternoon activity that kept the girls busy playing with their food for hours. We experimented with natural colors—Luna loved swirling the batters together, which resulted in a few multicolored pancakes towards the end!”
