Beanpatch & Co., LLC Expands European Product Line for 2014
Beanpatch & Co., LLC (www.beanpatchandco.com) is excited to expand its offering of Scandinavian and European inspired baby and kids products after phenomenal success in 2013.
A fan of Scandinavian design, Beanpatch & Co. founder Dana Michels Gabrielsen says, “After moving to Norway with my husband, I noticed that there was such a wonderful selection of infant, baby and toddler items that were nowhere to be found in the U.S.. Our 2014 product launches continue the success we had in our initial offering, but with an expansion of European inspired products that parents and children in the US can enjoy.”
“We saw what products the American consumer gravitated to and put our efforts into expanding our product line with that in mind – high quality, safe and well designed products that are enjoyable for kids but also pleasing to the parents’ eye. This is a hallmark of Scandinavian and European design and we are finding that this appeals to the American customer as well.”
The piece de la resistance of the expansion is the Oslo Street Baby Helseteppe Blanket. Made of a breathable woven knit, this 100% cotton blanket is a must have in Europe and Scandinavia. American consumers have been looking for this versatile blanket sold almost exclusively in Europe and Beanpatch is pleased to bring this blanket option to the US. Multiple colors available. Suggested retail $35.00.

About Beanpatch & Co., LLC
Beanpatch & Co. founder Dana Michels Gabrielsen started her career as a media and entertainment lawyer with a serious case of wanderlust. After a couple years of practice it was time for a change, and she moved to Sydney, Australia. She managed to infiltrate a Scandinavian harbor cruise party one night where she met a Norwegian guy who became her husband. They lived in Sydney for a while until they decided it was time to move on….to Norway. Within a year of moving there, Dana and Henning were married and expecting their first child. And so began another love affair – with Scandinavian design! While preparing for her daughter’s arrival, Dana fell in love with the beautiful, high quality baby items that were readily available in Norway. The Scandinavian emphasis on design and functionality produces unique and adorable baby items. When she moved home to Los Angeles, she was disappointed to discover that many of those baby items were not available in the U.S. Out of her personal quest to find only the best things for her children, she started Beanpatch & Co., so that she could bring these wonderful items to other families. Dana lives in Los Angeles with her husband Henning and their little ones, Jasper and Helena and another one on the way.
