Tamar Wider of The2Bandits has created the inaugural collection for her first ready-to-wear line The Camp Collection.
Wider was inspired by her childhood when designing this collection; specifically, her time away at an outdoor retreat outside of Missouri. It's no surprise, then, why she titled this collection 'The Camp Collection.' It might even remind you of your own camp experience: campfires, sing-a-longs and sneaking out after dark. It's obvious that Wider wanted to create something that would encourage adults to play, an ability that we often lose in our quest to "grow up." The slightly retro, bohemian offerings include ruffled gingham and plaid pieces that will satisfy your inner child.
The website reminds us that, no matter where life takes us, we need to "blaze our own trail."
