If you’ve been with us from the beginning, then you know we’ve set up “shop” in a few different spaces over the years. Every store-warehouse-office-combo has had its own unique vibe, but we always found ways to make each place our own. And here we go again…
You said you love seeing our designs from the start of the drawing to the final piece of art that you see on our clothes… but it’s been a few years since we’ve taken you behind the scenes to our screen printing shop. We have two crazy-talented screen printers who work every day to get your favorite designs printed on our eco threads. And because they do it all by hand, each item is its own unique piece of art!
Here at Soul Flower, we love our leggings! The leggings we produce are made from one of our favorite fabric blends: 87% organic cotton and 13% spandex. Safer for the planet, plus they retain their shape! Our leggings are made in the USA and screen printed by hand in our print shop in Minnesota.
On top of all that eco goodness, our prints are one-of-a-kind!
Hippie, Treehugger, Wanderlust, Earth Warrior, Free Spirit… what do these words mean to you? Sometimes unconventional words like these aren’t so easy to explain, yet when you read the definition you say, “Hey, that’s totally me!” So take a look at a few of these words that fit the distinctive and cool lifestyles of our customers. And let us know, which one are YOU?
Last summer, I spent a few weeks in lush Portland, Oregon. My husband and I biked and walked everywhere, trying all the vegan food and drinking all the coffee. (more…)
We recently had an in-house photoshoot where we made our very own Boho Tent (to add little extra texture and color to our model images). It was such a fun project, and a few of our buds have requested details on how we did it. So maybe you have an upcoming party where you want to create a cool chill space? Or just want your own backyard get away for the summer? Let us help you with this bohemian tent DIY – build your very own boho tent, indoor or outdoor!
We shared a few photos from our shoot with @goldie_yogi last month but have so many more to show you! You can read our initial post here.

A recent beautiful summer day in Minneapolis brought us to Minnehaha Falls for a Soul Flower Yoga Photoshoot. Sunshine, yogi vibes, and a little shenanigans made for a great time. A huge thanks to the forever awesome Goldie Harmon (@goldie_yogi), her acro yoga partner Jillian (@amaizaea), and Jillian’s little mini-me for lending us their smiles and acro-yoga moves. Take a look at these fun behind the scenes photos:
Our recent Spring/Summer shoot took us and our model PK to Sunnyside Gardens in Minneapolis. This place has been around since 1935 – it’s the perfect combination of plants, planters, starters, gardening supplies and a grow-your-own attitude.Take a look at our behind the scenes photos and enjoy the vibe of this cool Minnesota tradition! A huge thanks to PK for bringing her beauty and energy to this photoshoot!
Hey Buds, We had some interesting (and always fun) moments during our photoshoots for the release of our new Heart & Soul Collection. We always seem to capture a few of those behind-the-scene photo moments – like a visit from a cute puppy to a dancing to an unexpected song choice to a funny side joke! Hope you enjoy these behind the scenes shots as much as we enjoyed taking them ✌️❤️😌 ~Team Photo at Soul Flower
Laura (co-owner of Hymie’s) recently welcomed Soul Flower into Hymie’s Record Store, located off Lake Street in the Longfellow neighborhood of South Minneapolis. Hymie’s was once described by Rolling Stone as “a classic, overstuffed mom-and-pop used-vinyl haven” and we were so excited to to have it as a backdrop for our Heart & Soul Collection! We took the opportunity to ask Laura about herself, Hymie’s, and of course music.
Hippie hearts and rock & roll souls come together and jam out in our Spring/Summer 2018 printed collection! Our Heart & Soul collection features five brand new cuts, including three versatile bottoms that’ll pair perfectly with your collection of band tees and Soul Flower tops. (more…)
My daughter Siera and I did a mini photoshoot a few weeks ago at Greenwood Park and Salisbury House neighborhood in Des Moines. We had planned the shoot for the last week in 2017 but the subzero weather kept us inside for weeks. So on the first day that is popped above 10 degrees, we headed out for a walk in the park. I have to say, Siera was a trooper, considering how cold it was to be wearing tank tops and short sleeves! Enjoy the photos (our dog Ziggy makes a guest appearance) and more of these products will be on our website in the coming weeks!! ~Peggy
What goes around always seems to come back around. This design is one of those things.

We had so much fun with our first Selene photoshoot, we decided to do a second round featuring one of her favorite hobbies: Hula Hooping. And with one last bit of summer sun, we got outside for a little fall hooping at a nearby nature reserve. Read on to see some of the fun photos we captured on this beautiful early autumn day… Thanks Selene for lending us your hooping skills and beautiful smile.

We have had a few customers ask us whether Soul Flower’s white organic cotton t-shirts and white organic cotton blended fabrics can be dyed. It seems like they could be, so just for fun, we decided to put it to the test – a perfect excuse for a DIY Tie-Dye Party! Our crew gathered for a Happy Hour/Tie Dye Party right in Soul Flower’s parking lot. Most of us hadn’t tie-dyed anything before, but that didn’t stop us from experimenting and trying something new! Here is a look at what can happen when you combine a creative bunch of folks with happy hour, some white clothing, and colorful, funky dyes…
