Question: Like threadless but for toddlers

dersins — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 09:09:12 -0800

What are some good web sites to buy cute, "hip" (whatever that means) t-shirts and other clothing for babies and toddlers? Bonus points if it's non-gendered.

I'm looking to buy Christmas presents for my 1-year-old nephew. Overpriced hipster baby / toddler clothing seems like the perfect gift, because it's arguably useful, something his parents would like, and something they would be unlikely to buy for him themselves. I would prefer the choices be as gender-neutral as possible, as would his parents. Examples of the sort of thing I'm talking about can be found here.

Any suggestions will be received with much gratitude

BabyGadget is a baby blog that covers cool stuff (more designy than hipstery -- they'd feature a "Helvetica" onesie before they'd feature one with a band's name on it). They have a clothing category with photos/links to where you can buy them. It usually goes beyond t-shirts to cool sometimes retro outfits.

Lucky Wang is super cute, and defines the "overpriced hipster baby" look to a tee. Although their online store has far less selection than the brick and mortar stores.

Urbanbabyrunway! Their clothes are grouped by gender, but there's plenty of gender-neutral stuff in the boy and girl sections.

I blow a good deal of cash on my daugters outfits, but most of the places I go do not have web outlets. One that does is lucky wang. If, by some chance, you end up in New York you might also try Crembebe' (68 2nd Ave 212 979.6848).

Nippaz With Attitude Rock Orientated baby clothing. I bought the Bob Dylan "Time I need a changin' " and it wasn't bad quality.

Beware of signing up for newsletter though, they send them out thick and fast!

If the parents are technically-inclined, they may enjoy some of the shirts over at Thinkgeek.

You can also make your own cool shirts using an ink jet printer and tshirt transfers.

I must have bookmarked a million of these types of sites when I was expecting our son...many of them were already listed above, but here are some more:

Crib Rock Couture
Glamajama
Oliebollen
Squidoo (tons of links to various sites)
Pokkadots
Jaminga
Focoloco
Janie & Jack
Tuttibella
Kitson
Little Hippie
My Retro Baby
No Added Sugar
The Cradle Rocks
The Retro Baby
You're Such a Baby

Just a tip, I personally have found that the nicer/more expensive a baby item, the smaller it tends to run. There are some exceptions, but most of the "hipster" type shirts I've bought for my one-year-old have been much smaller and tighter than less expensive clothes (i.e. Carter's or Old Navy). Definitely consider buying clothes that are at least one size up, like 18M for a twelve-month-old. Good luck and happy shopping!

Wry Baby is pretty cute - especially their "handling tips" for babies.
