"Smart, stylish, good for your baby" is a tagline that every mother and father (because finally- a sling that caters to both!) hopes for when buying baby gear. Baby Bisou has done just that with their infant to toddler carriers that combine function and style with their sturdy, all cotton, Mei Tai influenced designs. They allow for front or back carrying styles, better support baby's hip, spine and pelvic development with a wide seat, are reversible, washable and easy to wear with only 2 buckles, a foam padded waist band and handy zippered pocket. And very pretty! Made in California with 10% of profits donated to charities for children. *Keep an eye out for new prints coming in October!
Little Uni is the perfect product of 2 friends/moms/graphic designers who saw a need for the hip and modern that still embraced the simple and sweet. With the combination of "classic shapes and funky patterns," a business of baby tees, onesies, pants + hats was born. Sewn (non-cutesy) appliques on 100% cotton American Apparel garments that prove unique, handcrafted and have the option for personalization is a cherished find.. and I have yet to meet its match. Mix, match + personalize your favorite.
It simply doesn't get better than letterpress... in modern animal prints... in mama + baby groupings, among many other refreshingly simple, colorful and unique designs. Dee&Lala provides a fantastic collection of cards, wallprints and housewares that merge the likes of beavers, candy jars, porcupines, ski lifts, cherry soda and worms to name a few of my favorites. Just plain charming.
They say it best: "Happiness fits in the palm of the hand." Blabla welcomes beauty, authenticity and laughter in their most lovely variety of hand knit plush (rattles, dolls, mobiles, purses, finger puppets, pillows, blankets and back packs) and clothing. Made by Peruvian artisans and of natural and amazingly soft fibers, it's just impossible to get enough of this whimsy. And a big hooray! for their newest product lines.
We're all about modern art for modern kids. They promise, "whether your child loves creepy crawlies, sunny flowers or retro robots, you'll find them here." (They forgot to mention their cool collection of friendly aliens.) And I have to add that with (almost) two little boys, I want little more than simple, funky and affordable wall art that provokes imagination sans t.v., video games or computer. All prints are limited edition giclee prints, signed and numbered by the artist, and carefully reproduced with archival inks on 100% cotton paper. Available framed or unframed with cut mat included. "Colors and lines for growing minds."

Meet a brand-new design-centric company founded by 2 moms and childhood best friends that saw a need for "on the go" products.. and delivered well. Cucuyo allows for flexibility and comfort for modern parents and babies with their Ori changing station that fits both infants and toddlers, opens into a soft, cushy pad with an adjustable pillow and an invisible bottom pocket that holds the diapers and wipes. But there's more than meets the eye: beyond the soft flannel interior and water proof exterior (machine washable), owners Ana and Laura show their love for the planet and the little people in it with their environmentally conscious designs. Cucuyo products are made in the USA in a fair work environment and with earth friendly materials. We're especially excited to hear more of the newest member of the Cucuyo family that has yet to even make its public debut: the Honu travel blanket (pictured above).

This baby will call me 'Mama'......I can hardly wait."

The ideal size to throw into your favorite chic, leather Hobo bag that you're not ready to live without.

Take just the strictly necessary (2 diapers, wipes case and changing mat) and leave the huge diaper bag for the all-day outing.
We love that these are a perfectly modern and simple (read: far from frilly) way to tame the "do" for girls of any age. "Functionality proves as paramount as style does- with a velcro lining insuring that they won't slip out of even the finest baby hair."
The simple and clean design of this proven essential organizer makes tracking the important details and memorable events of the baby's first year easy and enjoyable.
