Now as Grand Poobah I work very hard to keep Junior Society matters separate from my other venture Mahar Drygoods, lest this blog become one big MDG ad and obliterate any credibility I may have. But I beg your forgiveness for this rare egregious exception - because when I received the photo shoot images for the release of Little Hero Capes, I knew I had to share.

These gorgeous capes (donned by these gorgeous kiddos) have been masterminded by Philadelphia based designer and super-mom Allison Faunce. What began as a simple project to upgrade her three-year-old from a dishtowel cape to something more befitting a superhero has developed into the creation of a tool empowering kids around the globe to tap into their imaginations.

Each Little Hero Cape is meticulously handcrafted in aerodynamic satin, features a snap closure for quick take-offs and boasts a flip-up collar guaranteed to create intrigue. Choose from two sizes and three symbols to adorn the back of your cape which is available in five saturated color combinations. You’ll find all of capes here.
