B-Hive Designs

Lovely T's for the ladies and the little ones too! These T's are so comfortable and effortlessly stylish. Barbara Soulé draws and prints her nature inspired designs on cotton. My little guy loves his animal T so much that I almost have to beg him to take it off for washing. A little reverse psychology does the trick;) Cruise by to check out her new designs.
