This is the story of how a children’s clothing brand built on organic materials and hand-drawn illustrations grew from local roots to shipping worldwide.
Tiny Bunny is a Latvian brand where every children’s garment begins with a hand-drawn illustration and organic cotton. From a small workshop to customers worldwide, each piece is made with the same care you’d give the little ones in your life.

Something special began in Latvia in 2006. Amid the noise and rush of a Zara store, a quiet thought crossed a shop assistant’s mind: What if children’s clothing could be as pure and honest as the kids who wear it?
A few years later, that thought became the heart of a new brand.
This is Tiny Bunny—a label created to bring that question to life through gentle, thoughtful design. Every piece is made from organic, natural materials in Latvia, where skilled hands turn minimalist shapes and original illustrations into garments that feel like a loving embrace.
But before the first stitch was sewn, before the first garment took shape, there was a different kind of work to be done.
The founder of Tiny Bunny, Ilva Kauliņa, began with a focus on brand development before the actual products.
Before Tiny Bunny had a single garment to sell, it had something more valuable: a clear identity. Ilva understood that in a world saturated with children’s clothing, what would set her brand apart wasn’t just organic cotton or hand-drawn prints – it was the feeling and the values behind them.
In those early days, Ilva sewed every piece herself, creating garments for the children of friends. Each choice was woven with: Does this feel right? Does it embody the brand that I envision?
The answer, time and again, was yes—and with that, Tiny Bunny began to take shape.
Today, Tiny Bunny has grown into a brand with a devoted customer base across Latvia and other places around the world. The production process has evolved too. Collections are now meticulously planned a year in advance to ensure an efficient manufacturing process.
Yet the heart remains unchanged. Customers adore Tiny Bunny’s garments for the same reason Ilva’s friends did—each piece is made from breathable, organic materials and created with the same love, care, and attention to detail as those first handmade outfits.
Tiny Bunny also sells to children's concept stores worldwide that stock Tiny Bunny on their shelves. To forge new partnerships and expand internationally, Ilva regularly showcases the latest collections at trade exhibitions, where the garments speak for themselves.
What’s the secret to Tiny Bunny's success? According to Ilva, it depends on where you ask.
In Latvia, customers fall in love with the brand’s warmth and sincerity. They love the story behind each piece, the local craftsmanship. Internationally, it’s the quality that captures their attention first: the organic materials, the meticulous construction, the durability that outlasts fast fashion trends.
But whether a customer discovers Tiny Bunny, one thing remains constant: every piece is designed and produced in Latvia, which is a testament to the brand’s unwavering commitment to local craftsmanship and quality.
When you’re shipping handmade children’s clothing from Latvia to the world, logistics isn’t just a backend detail.
For Ilva, choosing Swotzy came down to two critical factors. First, the ability to streamline delivery management with trusted local shipping partners, freeing up time to focus on design and growth. But just as important was what Swotzy could unlock access to new international markets.
Tiny Bunny ships across Europe, the United Kingdom, North America, and Canada. But Ilva’s sights are set even further: China!
Breaking into massive, competitive markets like China demands marginal wins in every area of the business. Shipping rates are one of those make-or-break factors. By partnering with Swotzy, Tiny Bunny gained access to competitive international shipping rates that would typically be reserved for much larger companies.
Lower shipping costs mean more competitive pricing. More competitive pricing means a real shot at succeeding in markets where every advantage counts.
For a small Latvian brand with global ambitions, that edge makes all the difference.
