I was at brunch this afternoon when a friend asked if I’d seen Mixed in The New York Times holiday gift guide.
I had absolutely no idea what she was talking about.
“Wait what?? What was featured?!”
She sent me the link, and I immediately started scrolling.
Sure enough, our Classic Jumpsuit in Ruby was right there in the fashion section, described as a “real showstopper” and “supremely comfortable.”
And then I discovered another feature in Wirecutter! We were the second product listed in a roundup of "The 62 Best Gifts for Mom":
I couldn't believe it! Not only were these incredible, completely unexpected press features, but the way the writer described the jumpsuit felt so true to what I've always wanted Mixed to be.
My goal has always been to design one-and-done pieces for women living in full color. Whether you're growing your family, building your business, or pursuing your craft, I want to make clothes that require little effort but make a big impact. Pieces that make getting dressed easy while making you feel more like yourself.
And to see that idea reflected back in someone else's description of our pieces made it even more meaningful.
Being included in the gift guide felt especially fitting because we just launched our Olive Martini collection on Friday, full of festive pieces for everything from holiday parties to family gatherings. The collection is flying, and it feels like the holiday season at Mixed is already off to an amazing start.
Seeing Mixed alongside so many established brands felt surreal. And in a funny way, this press made Mixed feel a little more real to me.
The timing couldn't have been better. I just returned from our 2027 planning retreat, where I spent days dreaming about the future of Mixed, challenging myself to think bigger, and imagining what this independent brand could become.
Coming home to this felt like a reminder of how far we've already come.
Happy Sunday,
Nasrin
P.S. Speaking of holiday gifts...I think our most giftable pieces of the season haven't even launched yet. We've been working on a small capsule of robes and pajama sets that I am absolutely dying to share. Keep an eye out later this month!
