It is tough not to adore much of the wonderful, yet often high-priced,
kiddie fashion and baby stuff offered at designer shops. Of course, at
the other end of the spectrum, there are the truly hideous knitted and
crocheted craft-fair rejects that also pose as “cute for kids.”
Somewhere in the middle are a few companies that select items that are
hand-made — or at least look it — and cute, yet manage to be fun and
fashionable, too. One of these is blabla
in Atlanta, Georgia. We love their international animal tees and the
colorful Peruvian knits but the one item that we are ordering in
multiples, is the knitted cotton backpack. That there isn’t a kid in
our team here, is beside the point. It says “ages 3 AND UP” on the
order page, does it not? By Tuija Seipell
