Let customers speak for us
from 12 reviewsWhat a delight to receive my Lotus Born Couch Slouch blanket! It's cool design in vivid colors and comfy warmth keep me cheerful.

Fun, funky, comfortable ~ statement making shoes. Already earning comments at work.
So stunning that I hate to wrap packages with them! They deserve to be on walls, each one of them. Heavy duty paper and beautiful colors. I will be wrapping very special gifts with them.
Distinctive, comfortable, fun to wear. Our family got two pair of these shoes in the Lotus pattern with black and white non-canvas parts and they look quite different. We cannot agree which looks cooler! (Would love to see the men's shoes come in even larger sizes!)
Both cozy and beautiful. Huge hit at Christmas. Would love to see more blankets in different patterns
I LOVE these pants! The wide waist band & pockets are key, they are soft and delightfully slouchy, the pattern is wild and fun to wear & they wash beautifully with no shrinkage. Sizes run small, so order up a size or 2 depending on how slouchy you like your clothes.
These are SO COOL and comfortable and great conversation starters. I want them in all the patterns!
Absolutely in love with my new backpack! The quality is incredible and the artwork is unmatched. Thank you so much for creating such magical products! Can't wait to order something else soon! :)
I love the sweatshirt. The gray color with the artwork is a perfect combination and the material is high quality- feels good. Thank you!
