Now Representing: Nohi Kids

Nohi Kids is a new collection featuring rich, vibrant hues paired with modern, urban-yet-playful graphics for kids aged 2 to 8.  Using a combination of certified organic cotton, bamboo fiber, and spandex for the softest touch, Nohi Kids’ comfortable pieces are perfect for active kids to run and play. Founded in mid-2010, Nohi Kids is the creation of Oakland, CA-based Janel Jones, a veteran childrenswear designer. The fall/winter ’11 collection is a colorful mix including rust long-sleeved tees with motorcycle graphics, teal peacock dresses, and grey guitar hoodies, all affordably priced from $22 to $40 retail at www.nohikids.com.

“I try to design the clothes while keeping in mind how quickly kids grow,” said Janel, who previously co-founded Abe Jones children’s clothing. “For instance, our dresses are made to be dresses first, then tunics over leggings the following year.”

In addition, Nohi Kids incorporates elastic waist and arm details for easy on/off and the inevitable growth spurts. Several Nohi Kids pieces are ideal for mixing and matching, from bubble skirts with leggings and a long-sleeved graphic tee to a sash dress with leggings.

Nohi Kids will also debut their organic Nohi Baby collection this fall, featuring owl, apple, and car prints on bodysuits, yoga pants, and blankets for ages newborn to 18 months. Just like the kids collection, all Nohi Baby fabric is a combination of certified organic cotton, fiber from bamboo, and a touch of spandex to keep it washing well and lasting forever.

The fall collection will hit stores in mid-August and is currently available for pre-order at www.nohikids.com.

In a sea of boring and beige, the fresh and modern Finn + Emma is a welcome addition to the world of organic baby lifestyle brands.  Finn + Emma makes its debut this summer with a stylish and sustainable collection of clothing (sizes 0 to 18 months), bedding, toys, and accessories featuring whimsical and sophisticated designs and heirloom-quality construction. Prices range from $14 for hats to $420 for a full crib bedding set at www.finnandemma.com.

Finn + Emma was born after the creator, a childrenswear industry veteran, realized there was a need for a comprehensive, design-oriented organic lifestyle brand that features a wide range of products that coordinate and appeal to the modern mom. Finn + Emma set out to create a lifestyle brand that reflected their core values of buying organic, eco-friendly products- without sacrificing creativity or style.

Gone are the days of standard solid onesies and uninspired toys for the sake of staying green- Finn + Emma uses only 100% G.O.T.S. certified organic cotton and OEKO TEX standard 100 certified inks and dyes. From a Rattle Blanket Mouse to a Scooter Stroller Sac, every piece from Finn + Emma will captivate mother and child alike.

Finn + Emma is also making a positive impact by providing social and economic independence for a group of women in the mountains of Peru. By working closely with the women, Finn + Emma ensures the women are paid a healthy hourly wage in fair trade settings for their beautifully hand-knit booties and toys.

Finn + Emma’s collection is set to hit stores this summer, and are available to pre-order at www.finnandemma.com.
