Where we came up with our name - Prickly Pear Kids

Where we came up with our name - Prickly Pear Kids

The Cactus Flower 

is an icon of maternal love. Due to the fact that it can withstand and also prosper in severe conditions it is symbolic of a mother’s unconditional love for her little one’s

While growing up, I have always has a love for the cactus plant - its raw and effortless beauty always amazed me - unique in its very own way. Simple yet beautiful.

So naturally when deciding on a name we wanted something that was unique yet special to us, and while sitting making dummy clips with a dear friend one day, while trying to decide on a name - I gazed over to her plants and naturally the Prickly Pear caught my attention!

"Prickly Pear Kids" I said - it has a cute ring to it - and that was it! We chose the name – we prayed over it and decided to do some research on what a cactus symbolizes.

We were absolutely amazed at how the Lord directed us – Even in the finer details from the name, to the fabrics to the style and to the intention of the Brand – he was always there.

In essence, ‘the symbolism behind the endurance and resilience displayed by the humble cactus serves as a powerful reminder that when faced with obstacles or setbacks in our lives – whether personal or professional – we too possess the remarkable ability to adapt and flourish despite all odds’

These two meanings are the qualities we hold very near and dear to our hearts.

We choose to use materials that not only withstand the test of time and endure, but also nurtures your little one’s skin. Providing the love and care a mother would choose to provide for her loved ones.

Not only are we very intentional when it comes to the fabrics we use as well as our design work. We are also very intentional with the time frame we create at, by choosing to go at it in the Lord’s pace and not the world’s pace. We choose to keep our eyes and hearts on the purpose of OUR journey and not follow the worldly ways of trends and constant competition.

When your gift and love for others becomes your purpose – a brand that becomes a lifestyle is born!

Prickly Pear Kids – 'it has always been more than just a brand to us – it’s a Lifestyle, it’s our purpose'
