About Winter Water Factory
Winter Water Factory is the brainchild of German-born Stefanie Lynen and her husband, Todd Warnock. Lynen, the creative force behind the company and its compelling prints and designs, is a self-taught designer who draws inspiration from a variety of sources—from children's books to vintage wallpaper to envelope liners. Now based in Brooklyn, NY, they specialize in organic screen-printed textiles and kids' clothing. Their signature fresh, bold, and beautiful designs are printed on 100% certified organic cotton and crafted entirely in the USA—from the fabric to the final stitch.
Oh, and about that weird name. The original “Winterwasserfabrik” was founded in the early 1980s in Eschweiler, Germany, where Stefanie and her sister bottled melted snow and sold it to their parents as “winter water.” The tradition of creating fine products from all-natural resources continues here in Brooklyn
