We’re moving!! After 8 years at this location it’s almost hard to believe. As we say farewell to our good ol’ warehouse in St. Paul, MN and make the move to Golden Valley, MN we’re excited to bring our good vibes with us and make some new memories!
This Wednesday-Friday (1/30-2/1) will be the major hustle & bustle days. Our site will still be up and running. Just know that an order placed on these days will not be processed and shipped out until Monday 2/4/13. Sorry for any inconvenience and thanks so much for your understanding.
This year we were lucky enough to do our photoshoot at the Minnetonka Orchards. And to top it all off, we had perfectly warm, sunny weather, great friends and wonderful models. That we have one hell of a photographer never hurts either. (We love ya, Jenn! 🙂
Here’s a few apple orchard outtakes; a perfect fall day full of deliciously crisp, sun-warmed apples (…gosh, I could go for one now!) and tons of fun in our favorite Soul Flower fashions!
Have you seen our latest catalog? Publishing these catalogs is so exciting for us here at Soul Flower! We only publish two per year, so tons of time, effort, and creativity goes into each and every page. And this one is awesome.
Now, I won’t go spoiling the fun by showing off every single page. I just want to talk about that cover!
The inspiration for our Fall/Winter 2012 catalog cover was simple:that photo.
Our photographer Jenn took this shot during a photoshoot in Minneapolis. Our bud Maddie is the model, and she’s making her way down a green-filled path on the way to the next location. It wasn’t planned: Jenn just happened to look up and capture Maddie at that perfect moment!
With luck on our side, the rest of the catalog came together smoothly. Having Maddie picked out for the cover –giving off good vibes!– really helped us put extra love into every page. It’s amazing when things just come together like that!
The photo is set, now what about a title? We needed something fun, funky, carefree, and totally Soul Flower. It might sound crazy, but the style of writing (or font) really affects the entire mood! (Check out this infographic for a taste of the science behind typefaces)
Brainstormed with a bunch of doodles…does it remind you of your old school notebook? Writing “I heart Bobby!!” and “Mrs. Brad Pitt” all over the pages? 🙂
Whew! I know, it seems like quite the process. The whole catalog is a labor of love for us, and we are giddy with excitement to know what you think! Drop us a line, a comment, a note– and let us know your thoughts.
So now, when you get your catalog and see the cover, you’ll know the story!
We hope it reminds you to keep your eyes open for those special moments. When you’re taking pictures of your kids or your loved ones, look up when they’re not expecting it and capture that instant of pure, honest real-ness. The best and most beautiful things are all around us, if we just look, listen, and recognize.
The catalogs are in the mail and our online catalog is available Monday. To give you a taste of the boho-organic awesomeness that is Spring/Summer 2012 – here’s a little behind the scenes.
Keep your eyes on the mail box for our totally recycled catalog! If you still need to request one – go HERE. Look for the online catalog Monday! Make sure you get the latest Soul Flower styles and sweet promos by signing up for our email HERE.
I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it I’m about to lose control and I think I like it Brianna
This Valentine’s Day I would just like to tell all of you how amazing you’ve been. Good vibes abound here at Soul Flower, thanks to you! We can’t help but Love you buds! Your enthusiasm and support never fails to amaze us. Every time we go onto Facebook, (i.e. the internet) we’re always welcomed with wonderful energy and great stories.
There have been several instances where I almost hugged my computer, because the messages you send put a huge smile on my face. You go beyond the support of buying our product by sharing your insights, humor, and soul through your comments & letters, and it never goes unnoticed.
Ha- that’s ME! (…If I were bald & not lovingly addicted to the internet)
My job title here at Soul Flower is Copywriter/Daydreamer, and part of my role is to keep tabs on our Social Media. I want you to know: I read every little line of it; I even read the best ones out loud. I gush and geek out over the pictures and witty, inspiring words of wisdom. In fact, that’s how this blog came about. The other week I burst into the office across the hall, ecstatic about the response you buds were giving on a post. I gushed, “Do you see this!? I want to hug my computer; they just rock!” To which our photographer, Jenn said, “You should tell them that!” It only makes sense.
So, here I am. Writing you a love letter of sorts. 🙂
I heart my job to pieces, and a lot of that is due to YOU! Some of you post frequently, and I’m starting to feel like we’ve hung out, or hiked a favorite trail together – it feels like I’ve actually met you! You’ve made social media the friendly place it was intended to be, and you spread the good vibe that Soul Flower stands for. If your messages one day stopped (fingers crossed they don’t!) and my inbox became a ghost town, I’d miss you all tremendously! So please don’t let that happen. Instead, be Soul Flower’s Valentine?

Ever wonder how our Soul Flower Original designs come about? Well today, all those questions are being answered by our graphic designer, Leiah – the talent behind those positive, upbeat, gotta-have-it Soul Flower designs!
So…Tell us a little about yourself, Leiah.
My name is Leiah and I am the (self-titled) Pixologist here at Soul Flower! The term Pixologist (to me) means a graphic designer who mixes handmade and traditional art techniques with digital processes and pixels to create cool stuff.
I studied Studio Art in college, and first got into graphic design creating posters for my school’s choir. After graduating, I worked for the University of Minnesota graphic designing, and then found my niche at Soul Flower doing what I love most—a mix of graphic design AND art. Originally, I got into graphic design because there was a need for a creative person to produce marketing pieces. I knew the basics of Photoshop and studying art helped develop my eye for aesthetics, so I was the girl for the job!
How long have you worked for Soul Flower?
Soul Flower hired me at first to help out in the warehouse picking and packing orders in the summer of 2009. Working hard on the side doing graphic design projects for Soul Flower gave me that extra push I needed to snag the best position I could ask for at Soul Flower – as their graphic designer! I’ve been Pixologist since May 2010
Do you have a favorite Soul Flower design that you created?
I really like one of our newest designs, Soul Rebel Cycles. For this design, I really pushed myself to come up with something super creative and a little bit badass, which was fun. Another favorite is Be Yourself, a tweener and now women’s tee design. It’s super simple, but has a great positive message, which I love.
One of our new tee designs – Road Warrior – captures me as a person pretty well. I love basic line drawings, and this one is a little bit quirky and not quite perfect – just like me!
What process do you go through to create a T-shirt design?
First of all, I’m always on the lookout for inspiration. I’m constantly collecting images that grab my attention and that I think could inspire a sweet design. The Karma Captain (Peggy) and I then talk through some concepts we think our Soul Flower customers would love. If you haven’t noticed already, here at Soul Flower we especially love peace, love, nature, and music!
Then comes time to draw! Depending on the concept, the design will either stay pretty true to the original sketch (like Road Warrior, Soul Rebel Cycles), or it gets a sweet digital treatment (like Gypsy Soul, Soul Flower Nouveau). Most of my designs started as a hand-drawn sketch, and evolved from there.
I like keeping it real with the designs I create. Along the way, I use real pencils, ink, crayons, and paper. I used a linoleum block to create Soul Flower Block Print, and a stencil and spray paint for Free Your Mind.
Cutting pieces of paper helped me create Cattails and Love You Make. The texture on Take It Easy came from crayons. And Feel All Right was born from a doodle
Line and color. I love lines and see them in everything: line drawings, outlines of tree branches, strands of hair, the veins on a leaf, stitching on clothing… And color: I love color! Since childhood I’ve been a huge fan of Lisa Frank, Rainbow Brite, everything rainbow, tie dye, and just bright colors in general.
Blog Image Did any Soul Flower designs come to you like a lightning bolt, like, BAM! Yes, I have to make that!? One in particular – Peacock. One day I thought, “I really feel like drawing a peacock.” I didn’t even know if we’d end up using it, but I drew it anyway. Next thing I knew, Soul Flower’s Peacock shirt was flying off the shelves and we even translated the drawing into another design, Birds of a Feather. People love peacocks!
What other artistic hobbies are you into?
Bookbinding, art journaling, printmaking now and then, sewing, knitting (although I’m not very good at finishing any knitting projects!), and cooking. Does cooking count?
Where do you typically draw designs?
I work at home, so anywhere comfy! Actually, I prefer to sit down at a table with good lighting and draw. Sometimes the hours just slip away when I’m working on something; I love that state of flow.
Do you work in silence? If you listen to music, what’s your favorite draw-time tunes?
Usually I’m listening to music, and it depends on my mood as to what gets played. I have a couple of playlists that right now consist of some Trampled by Turtles, Jem, Alison Krauss, Nicki Minaj, Alanis Morisette, The Shins, and lots of Soulive.
Are you currently working on a new Soul Flower design? Can you tell us about it, or is that top secret?
Right now all of our designing is on hold while we crank out our Fall/Winter catalog! But I’ve got some ideas and am excited to get back into it. Maybe we’ll have to do a sneak peek!
It’s beyond awesome to learn all that goes into designing the Soul Flower Originals we love so much! Thank you for sharing your artistic process with us, Leiah! You Rock! 🙂

Did you know we recycle all #1-7 plastics here at Soul Flower? Well we’re proud to announce, we do! Sometimes recycling can be trickier than anticipated, but our buds, Chad and Joe, set us up with some nice big barrels to help keep our recyclables organized. We really do try our best to be as eco-friendly as possible!
Many of us even bring our plastic recyclables from home, since curbside recycling only recycles #1 and #2 plastics. Each Soul Flower employee just needs to be sure that they clean out their plastic containers, because having food left in them only attracts bugs, and automatically demotes them to garbage. So, since it’s more than just warehouse accumulation going into our bins, the #1-7 plastic recycling system has saved a lot more plastic than one would suspect. Just last week, the guys took three jam- packed 55 gallon bags of plastic to the East Side Coop after work. *High Five, Buds!*
In the U.S. people throw away 2.5 million plastic bottles an HOUR! And plastic takes an awfully long time to decompose; a hundred years or more depending on the plastic. Even though numbers like that can be intimidating, we here at Soul Flower truly believe that every little thing adds up to a bigger, brighter picture – which is why we have our awesome, big ass recycling bins! We’re glad to be doing what we can to cut back on landfill waste!
Did you know that the majority of t-shirts at Soul-Flower are created in-house by us? When you see one of our new tee designs for sale online, you know it’s super fresh… a great pick if you’re looking for something totally unique to set you apart from the crowd!
Soul Flower Originals are our exclusive designs that feature original artwork, created to reflect positive messages of peace, mother nature, music, and a laid back, stress free lifestyle. We choose organic cotton and other natural fibers, or recycled fibers whenever we can, and print in small batches right here in the USA.
Our clothing concept comes from the idea of getting back what you give – simply put, karma. We love both you (our customer!) AND our Mother Earth – so we work hard to please you both by creating unique, quality products and focusing on sustainable fabrics and earth friendly practices.
Paper catalogs will be arriving to mailboxes this weekend & next week. But if you simply can’t wait, or opted out of a paper catalog (save a tree!), you can check out the digital version of our catalog. It’s totally interactive: click on products to take you directly to Soul-Flower.com, where you can find specs on sizes, alternate photos, and additional information for each item.
Did you know?
We print our catalogs on recycled paper with soy ink or renewable vegetable oil ink.
Soul Flower works with the Arbor Day Foundation to plant two trees for every one that is used in our catalog production. We helped with an amazing project to plant 125,000 total longleaf pine trees in the Manchester State Forest in South Carolina. Read all about it here.
If you’d like to opt-out of receiving a paper catalog, give us a call at 866-204-8074 and we can remove you from the paper mailing list. When you’re done with your catalog, recycle it or pass it on!
With so many new kids’ items arriving at Soul Flower, we recently put together a few kid-friendly photo shoots. The first one was Dakota at the Botanical Center. One of our biggest challenges in these shoots (besides getting a kid to pose for a photo) has been finding a good locale for pictures. For this one, I packed up my son Dakota, a few changes of Soul Flower clothes, some extra help (thanks Meredith!) and a couple props and headed out to the Botanical Center, our local (Des Moines) botanical garden dome & greenhouse.
What an awesome spot for greenery (even in January!), sunshine and warmth. No joke, leave your coat at the door – I was sweating by the time we finished the shoot. Here are a few of the shots we took at our first kids shoot. Thanks Dakota for playing along…
Last week was quiet at the Soul Flower warehouse up in snowy Saint Paul, Minnesota. But for a few of the Soul Flower buds, February 14-16 was not-so-quiet and quite the opposite of snowy!
On Valentine’s Day, Soul Flower owners Mike & Peggy, along with buds Jenn & Leiah all headed west to the middle of the desert: Las Vegas, for the biggest fashion tradeshow in the world, MAGIC. MAGIC is a show where hundreds of vendors from all over the country gather to show off their goods and meet with retailers who want to buy their products. Soul Flower is a retailer AND a wholesaler, but at MAGIC Soul Flower was there to buy!
When we arrived in Vegas, we hit the ground running and headed straight to MAGIC from the airport. The rest of the day was spent in the convention center, walking around the show checking out vendors’ booths that would catch our eye, and searching for cool new products to carry at Soul-Flower.com. It’s a lot like shopping, except you’re not shopping for yourself (you’re shopping for ALL Soul Flower customers), and you can’t take anything home (we just placed orders and won’t be seeing the items again until they’re shipped to us). Sounds easy, but it is hard work!
At Soul Flower, it’s our mission to seek out and buy from vendors who are environmentally and socially conscious. That means we look for sustainable and eco-friendly fabrics (organic cotton, recycled poly, bamboo, hemp, etc) made by workers who are treated fairly and make a livable wage. We also look for companies who work at improving quality of life for workers, for products that are made in the USA, and items made by independent designers & jewelers. Of course it’s not always possible to achieve all these goals in every product we find, but we know our priorities and what’s important to us as a company. Even at MAGIC, there were booths with items we fell in love with at first sight, but when the vendors couldn’t give us a straight and confident answer about the conditions at their manufacturing plants or the source of their materials, we had to walk away.
The best thing about MAGIC is discovering awesome new products. A lot of the vendors we buy from are artists: they draw their own designs and screenprint it all themselves, or they design and hand-make their entire line of jewelry. It’s inspiring to see what everyone has come up with, and we love supporting small companies and independent artists so they can continue to follow their bliss. 🙂
We bought some exciting new items from our tried-and-true vendors, and found some new up-and-coming companies to work with, too – and we’re looking forward to introducing some fresh styles to Soul-Flower.com in the coming months.
Our trip to Vegas was short, but jam-packed with meeting & greeting new people, handpicking out the best of the best to carry at Soul Flower, and of course a TON of walking and people-watching 🙂
Talk about an empowering song! This song + a favorite quote = an awesome tee design.
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds.
~Bob Marley
This quote is powerful and profound, and it calls for a simple yet bold design. Our Soul Flower Block Print tees have been a hit, so we decided to channel the same hand-made vibes for Free Your Mind.
It started with a blank piece of sketchbook paper and a pencil. A little freehand lettering and cutout action with an X-Acto blade, and we’ve got a super simple (but not so sturdy) stencil!
The floppiness of the stencil didn’t matter in this case since we only needed to spray through it a couple of times. Orange was the only color spray paint we had on hand, so FREE YOUR MIND started out about as orange as an oompa-loompa! 🙂
The reason we chose to cut a stencil and actually spray paint the design on to a piece of paper is so we could achieve that cool over-spray look that occurs naturally with stenciling.
After the paper dried, it was scanned in to the computer and adjusted to be completely black and white.
The design was then sent off to the screenprinters, who completed the final step in our journey from drawing-to-stencil-to-digital-to-screen-to-shirt. Whew! It’s definitely quite the process, but the results are awesome. We achieved that cool graffiti/spray paint look, with an empowering message. And it’s available for men & women!
Sugar and spice and everything nice… that’s what little girls are made of. And these cuties are the sweetest ones around! Here are a few shots from a photoshoot featuring sweet Janey, Lila, Lucy & Ruby, taken the last weekend of Summer 2010. These beautiful sisters played and hooped away the afternoon in their Soul Flower sundresses – good times, thanks to the summer sunshine!
Items featured are the Floral Toddler Sundress and the Fairy Mudmee Top. The Fairy top is actually made for women, but it works as a cute dress for a young girl, too!

T-Shirts are such a big part of our wardrobe at Soul Flower. To make it to our shelves, our tees all go thru a cool printing process that gives them their Soul-Flower-Power. TS Designs is one of the printers who helps us out – they print our Love Your Mama, Treehugger & Wind Energy tees, to name a few. We have been working with TSDesigns and are excited to tell you about why. Or course, they deliver a sweet product. But it goes beyond just a cool tee, they are pioneers in sustainability steps in both their manufacturing & daily business practices. Really, these guys do it all.
They use water based printing (to avoid putting plastisols on your tees) and their own unique water based dyeing process called REHANCE. Their printing processes are much safer for the environment and human health since they don’t use PVC, phthalates, and no environmentally hazardous residues. The prints last longer and look better. And you won’t believe how great it all feels. We especially love using TS Designs for printing our infant & toddler tees – all organic cotton & all ecofriendly inks & all natural printing processes are so perfect for the babes.
That’s not all. (I know, it goes on!) – they are eco in almost every aspect of their business. They produce their own organic cotton T-shirts in North Carolina – promoting local manufacturing, social responsibility and local economies as well organic textiles. They use solar power at their factory. They have their own on grounds vegetable gardens, and a biodiesel coop as well. We love to see companies walking the talk. And making some super cool tees for us in the process. Learn more about TS Designs here.
Get 30% off any of our kids treehuggers, Love your Mama womens or kids or our blowing in the wind tees, all printed on organic cotton using water based, eco friendly inks. Use the coupon code SOULMATE2 at checkout to get your discount (good til 9/16).
Blog Image How do we put the SOUL in Soul Flower? When we first created Soul Flower, our name seemed the perfect combination of spirit and beauty. But did you know Soul Flower has a deeper meaning? Sure, the flower is easily defined – you can see it in the beautiful & lovely items we choose. But we want to spend some time telling you also about the Soul.
The soul of our goods is really important to us – we work hard to make sure that our products are being made in a fair way. We seek quality, raw materials that are in tune with mother earth. We ask hard questions of our partners & strive to find not just the most beautiful things but also the most thoughtful & ethically made items we can. We find small, local manufacturers to work with. Then we develop strong relationships with the people making our products – striving to not only make sure they are treated fairly but also to improve their livelihood and communities.
But to make this happen, we have awesome folks we work with – other artisans and designers who have followed a similar path in manufacturing their creations – and so for that reason, we want you to MEET OUR SOUL MATES. For each of these posts, we will introduce you to an artist, manufacturer or designer from Soul Flower & learn about their soulful practices. You will love their inspiring stories. Plus, we will feature a week-long sale on a few of their select creations on our site. So, meet…
Our First Soul Mate:Soul Flower (yeah, that’s us…)

Save 30% on any of these four shirts with coupon code SOULMATE1 (good until 9/9)
By spreading a message of peace & positivity in our daily lives we hope to keep kindness always at the center of our thoughts and actions. And to really complete this message we choose organic cotton and other natural fibers whenever we can. Plus we print our tees in small batches right here in the USA.
Probably one of our most soulful choices in our creations is our use of organic cotton… a simple choice that can make a world of difference. Why?
Conventional cotton farming is one of the most damaging types of farming towards the environment. Producing cotton uses 25% of all insecticides in the world and 10% of all pesticides. It is second (corn is first) in the amount of chemicals used to produce it. It you buy just one t-shirt made from organic cotton, you are saving 1/3 a pound of synthetic fertilizers & pesticides from entering the environment. These chemicals damage soil so badly it can’t produce, harm animals in the vicinity, and ultimately contribute to global warming.
Natural and organic fiber clothing are processed with as few chemicals and harmful impact on the environment as possible. By purchasing natural and organic fiber clothing you support environmental causes & help to nourishes the earth and the lives of all people involved in the process of growing, manufacturing and distributing the clothing. Growing cotton organically takes skill. It takes time & patience. And, yes, it is more expensive. But worth it!
Soul Flower works hard to keep positive vibes going – and our tees are just one way we do that. We hope you enjoy wearing them. Peace.

Check this Out! Our Bud Leiah has been doing some great side projects using old Soul Flower scraps to create great, new styles. She got the Soul Flower Positively Hemp Cargos for her beau & ended up creating a sweet belt from the hemming scraps. Then she took an old, no good tapestry (or so we thought) to create a sweet new wrap skirt. Check out the results below and read all about these & other cool sewing projects in her blog Ruby Bows.
