THE BEST KIDSWEAR LINES
We've rounded up the baby and kidswear lines that are just as precious as your wee one.
Little Seed Against delicate infant skin, opt for this line of eco-friendly duds: They use raw cotton and organic, low-impact dyes for their eensy onesies and jumpers that come in nearly every shade imaginable. Shop Little Seed | Bonpoint Exceedingly cheery separates from this famed French retailer make up a closet of gauzy embroidered linen dresses and the sweetest assembly of leather sandals around. For boys: Lots of chambray, cardigans and easy pullovers. Shop Bonpoint |
ESP One part hang-ten surfer cool and one part je ne sais quoi Parisian chic, ESP's creators made what they themselves couldn't readily find: Sophisticated and understated clothes for kids, without any unnecessary embellishments. We're partial to the oversized acid washed denim poncho and terry cloth sweaters that we wish came in our size. Shop ESP | Petit Bateau This French stalwart has been around since the late 19th century and 100 years later still churns out the basics le bebe needs. Think sailor striped cotton crawlers, adorable polka dotted sleepwear, and reversible printed bunting bags. Shop Petit Bateau |
Bobo Choses Rockstar moms and dads flock to this Spain-based line that stocks sweaters emblazoned with pop-art drawings of fruit, graphic onesies, and cool temporary tattoos (their version includes a worm, dandy elephant, and of course, a milk bottle). Shop Bobo Choses | Winter Water Factory Design loving kids and parents will go nuts over Winter Water Factory's unique textile graphics which are screen printed on all organic fabric. They're designed and hand made in Brooklyn by husband and wife owners Stefanie Lynen and Todd Warnock who started the company in 2005 to rave reviews. Shop Winter Water Factory |
Oeuf NYC They're the mecca for all things baby, but are most famous for their 100% organic pima cotton layette collection. Kimono wrap tops, diaper covers and leggings all come in that specific shade of ivory that only unbleached and untreated pieces can. And for those chilly winter months? Fair trade, hypo allergenic baby alpaca jumpers, of course. Shop Oeuf NYC | Nature Baby They stock a large range of organic cotton and wool bodysuits, pants, and tops, but their lambskin and calfskin booties and slippers may be the sweetest we've seen. After you've browsed the kidswear, peep their BPA-free feeding section, bath and skincare lines, and even natural remedies to get parents through the terror of teething. Shop Nature Baby |
Appaman Everyday t-shirts and bottoms in bright, vibrant colors are made for b-boys and their gal pal cohorts. The casual garments are dreamt up in Brooklyn by Scandinavian designer Harald Husum, and the printed hoodies and old-school bomber jackets promise to give your kid street cred. Shop Appaman | Mabo Designed and manufactured stateside, Mabo makes their pieces in small volume, to simple and deeply beautiful results. There are no bright colors, but instead an arsenal of neutrals like oatmeal colored pinafores and black bubble playsuits that won't make you feel like you're missing |
