Zip Click Lace Swap

Moodswaps for kids

A busy board they can wear.

Interactive clothing that keeps little hands busy wherever they go.

Hi, I'm Kate — and this started with my daughter Anna.

I’ve always loved finding fun, unusual clothing for both of us —
but I kept running into the same problem:
I’d get tired of a design long before the garment wore out.

So I started wondering:
What if clothing could change with you?

That idea became swappable designs…
then evolved into lace-based wearable art when Anna became obsessed
with playing with the cords on my clothes.

And then came another thought:
What if I brought the idea of a busy board into kidswear —
adding playful interactive elements children could wear and play with?

That’s how the MoodSwaps Monsters were born:
Click, Zippy, Lacey and Buttons. They all have special characters and "life" in cartoons and books I made for Anna (e.g. this one is the story of Click)

Anna fell completely in love with them —
and now refuses to wear almost anything else.

So I decided to share these ideas with the world.

Because maybe someone else wants to play with their clothes too.

Imagined by human. Designed with AI. Made by hand.

Every MoodSwaps piece starts with my ideas, evolves through AI-assisted design, and is handcrafted and tested in real life before it reaches you.

Idea & Concept

Every design begins with a spark of inspiration and a clear vision of what I want to create.

AI-Assisted Design Exploration

I collaborate with AI tools to explore design possibilities, refine patterns, and bring my vision to life digitally.

DTF / Embroidery / Vinyl cut / Screenprinting File Preparation

The digital design is carefully converted into DTF print, screenprinting stencil, multi-layered iron-on vinyl transfer or embroidery files, ready for production with precision and care.

Real-Life Testing with Kate & Anna

Before reaching you, every product is tested in real-life situations to ensure it meets our high standards. For example initially I started with DTF transfers, but found that they come in totally different quality. One Click has already survived 6 washes and still alive and the other one was all damaged after the first wash... Then I found that embroidery survives frequent washing essential for kids clothes way better. And played around with embroidery and applique embroidery. Then I also experimented with using iron-on vinyl (omg, surprisingly it's one of the best surviving methods so far!) and screenprinting (painting on the T-shirt with special ink and a frame set). So now I use all of those methods depending on what design I want to make.
