Love In Every Stitch: A Mother’s Day Tribute
Mothers all around the world have selflessly provided us with so much throughout generations; life, unwavering support -and if you’re me-, clothes from their wardrobe. This year, Wordans wants to pay tribute to Mother’s Day in a different way!
Clothes have a special place in our lives and even moreso if there is meaning attached to them.
And since creating impactful pieces is what we do here at Wordans, members of our team were asked which particular piece of clothing reminded them of their mom and just how mother’s day helps them recall special outfits.

Describing my mother’s fashion in one word is easy: it’s practical. Because she spends a lot of time outside walking the dog, she always has a jacket on. Especially her soft-shell jacket; you never see her without it! Side-note: she will say that the dog wasn’t bought as a replacement for me but the timing can’t just be a coincidence. Suspicious? I think so.
My mom is an artist and creates her pieces from home. So, anything that’s practical and comfortable like round-neck sweaters instantly transport me home to her studio.
Favourite Mom Quote: Not necessarily a quote per-se but a typical mother question! She ALWAYS has to ask me about the weather, even though we both know what the answer is.

The first thing that comes to mind is her over-sized, baby pink t-shirt. Let’s be honest: there’s nothing that can beat a big tee! This is the perfect example of clothes with a story. Since she has passed it on to me, it has become my go-to pajama top. We live in different countries so having this t-shirt will always make me feel close to her.
Another example of my mom’s fashion is rooted deep in my childhood! She would always wear this light-blue summer dress. It makes me so happy to just picture it; the dress was a loose fit and what made it stand-out was the traditional Finnish pattern.

My Peruvian mother has had a major influence in my wardrobe choices. So for me, fashion sense is the perfect Mother’s Day tribute.
When I think of my mom, deep and striking colors like burgundy and black crop up. And she won’t be seen in something that doesn’t flatter her! My mom’s signature style iis a combination of a form-fitting long-sleeve shirt, bold high-heeled boots and classic hoop earrings.
Favourite Mom Quote: Do whatever makes you happy; don’t care what others think.

My mother was a forward-thinking fashion icon and honestly, we were completely oblivious it.
Since the 80s, she would always wear a fanny pack. You know, back when they were in vogue. My brothers and I used to make fun of her for having one. And now that EVERYBODY is wearing them, she’s getting her pay-back!
Favourite Mom Quote: Manners maketh man.

My mother would always mention how she would always steal an over-sized denim jacket from her Dad’s wardrobe until one day, she never returned it. Whenever she talks about growing up, my mom always makes reference to it with a smile on her face. And this is how I’ve pictured her as a teenager!
And if I could, I’d pay a tribute solely to grandmother for all of the vintage pieces that I’ve taken from her wardrobe.
Favourite Mom Quote: It’ll be grand, which is the stereotypical and infallible Irish mammy saying.
Clothes With A Story: Timeless Fashion
Every stitch holds a story and a sweatshirt can remind us of a warm embrace. That t-shirt hanging up in your wardrobe transports you back to one of your most cherished memories. Pieces that take up space in our closet are not merely cotton or polyester; they trigger memories, with sentimental value woven into every fibre.
A customized hoodie could remind you of that family weekend away or a cold nights spent curled up on the couch, talking about nothing with your mother. If you’re anything like me and have the memory of a sieve, a tangible item will always whisk you back to the past!
We hope you’ve enjoyed our Mother’s Day tribute with a difference this year! Whether it’s a jacket, fanny pack or a “misplaced” denim jacket, each piece carries the love and memories that we’ve shared with our mothers throughout the years. And if this article has inspired you, why not create even more heartfelt moments with a customized piece for Mother’s Day?
Because clothes are so much more than mere fabric.
