The Spring/Summer ’14 Nohi Kids collection was inspired by the designer’s trek to Thailand where she immersed herself in the everyday beauty of the tropical land. Common sights, including a vendor’s street stall with vibrant violet and pink parasols and a trip to an elephant sanctuary, became ideas for bold new prints children will adore- elephants, pinwheel umbrellas, blossoming spring trees, and more. Layers of ruffles and ruffle accents are also a fresh theme in the collection, retailing from $9 to $40 in sizes 12-18 months up to size 7/8 at www.nohikids.com.
Twirl-ready tank dresses and gathered waistband dresses with center ruffles make dressing up fun and comfortable for special occasions. As always, Nohi Kids uses their signature soft, certified organic cotton, bamboo viscose, and a touch of spandex for a durable garment that can withstand everyday wear and tear. Layered ruffle dresses alternate rows of solid and print ruffles for a touch of whimsy, while the tank sash dress provides a simple, enduring silhouette that can be paired with Nohi Kids’ swirl knit leggings. The Busy Bottom tank dress combines qualities of both designs with a surprise ruffle detail in back.
For the wee ones, Nohi Baby offers the Thailand-inspired prints from kid sizes as well as two new prints exclusive for baby- airplane and dog prints. A scaled-down ruffle dress is a new addition that ups the cute factor for baby girls and makes the perfect first Easter dress. Hats, yoga pants, rompers, sleep sacks, and bodysuits round out the collection available in 0 to 3 months up to 12 to 18 months sizes.
Based in the Bay area, Nohi Kids aims to be as eco-friendly as possible and donates a portion of their profits to children’s charities. To learn more about their brand, visit www.nohikids.com.
