The Story Behind Honey and Hive

🐝 From a Dream to a Downtown Boutique

Honey and Hive began with a simple yet heartfelt goal: to offer beautifully made, ethically sourced baby and kids' clothing that parents could trust—both in quality and values.

As a husband-and-wife team living in San Mateo, we noticed a gap in the market. We wanted something more meaningful than mass-produced babywear. Something soft, timeless, thoughtfully designed—and created in a way that respects both people and planet.

So we decided to build it ourselves.


🌿 Rooted in Purpose

From day one, we knew we wanted to do things differently. That meant:

  • Partnering only with manufacturers that uphold fair labor standards

  • Choosing high-quality fabrics like organic cotton and modal blends

  • Supporting small-batch production for better sustainability

  • Prioritizing heirloom-worthy designs over fast fashion trends

And above all, it meant putting care into every piece we sell—so that each outfit is something you feel good dressing your child in.


🧵 Made in Turkey, Worn with Love

Our products are made in Turkey, where generations of textile craftsmanship meet high ethical standards. We proudly work with trusted makers who ensure that each garment is made with skill, care, and respect. Every “Made in Turkey” label is a reflection of quality and values you can believe in.


👶 Community First—Always

Our boutique in San Mateo is more than a store—it’s a space built on connection. Whether you’re shopping for your newborn, looking for a special gift, or just stopping by to say hi, you’re part of our hive.

We also believe in giving back. Every year, Honey and Hive donates to Baby2Baby, a nonprofit providing essential items to children in need across the U.S. Because every child deserves comfort, dignity, and care.


🤍 Thank You for Being Here

Honey and Hive is our labor of love—and it’s made possible by families like yours who believe in thoughtful shopping. Whether you're a first-time parent or a gift-giver with a big heart, we’re honored to be a small part of your journey.
