Unique Nature Inspired Baby & Kids Gifts from Coral & Tusk

Pictures can do Coral & Tusk’s painstakingly hand embroidered designs no justice. Each delicate stitch is done by hand right here in New York City by designer Stephanie Housley. Her unique approach to design is influenced by her travels; she spends several months a year designing textile collections in India. Her charmingly quirky motifs feature nautical themes (check out this hilarious “Hungry Whale” Kid’s Tee) and various animals, like this gorgeous Elephant embroidery. Encased in a protective white frame, this Coral & Tusk Hand-Embroidered Elephant in Frame is a piece of art parents and kids alike can enjoy. The delicate lines and neutral colors make it perfect for any room in the house, including the nursery!

Introducing Dagmar Daley at Estella

 

Inspired by nostalgia and classic looks, Dagmar Daley, a San Francisco based designer, creates childrenswear that appeals to both parent and child. She takes a no-nonsense approach to designing her collection of beautiful summer dresses and skirts in fabrics that are easy to wear and wash – all while keeping production local and at reasonable prices. We love Dagmar Daley’s Striped Cotton Girls Sundress as a casual weekend dress. Wear it over a bathing suit on trips to the beach or with a long sleeve tee when it’s cooler outside; the possibilities with this versatile dress are endless!

 

 

Spring Children’s Clothes; Boys Rain Coat by Simple Kids

April showers bring May flowers, so while we we wait for the sights and sounds of Spring transitioning into Summer, appropriate rain gear is a must. With the unpredictable weather forecasts and sudden thunderstorms that appear to come without warning, it’s hard not to send your kids off to school without something to repel the rain. We love this kid’s raincoat by Simple Kids because while it does a great job of keeping the wearer dry, it doesn’t look like a heavy duty raincoat, which makes it perfect for any weather. The relaxed styling of this kids rain coat makes it a snap to pair with a pair of cool jeans and a tee.

Belgian Gold Rush at Estella

Uncompromising quality, attention to detail, modern twists on traditions and all natural fabrics are the trademarks of good Belgian design. Gold Belgium, the newest addition in European baby clothing at Estella, exhibits all of these qualities with their simple, yet stunning, collection of baby separates. Natural shades of oatmeal and rose compose a soothing palette on classic pieces, like this Cotton Kimono Baby Top. Pair it with a delightful pair of baby harem pants and you’re Gold, baby!
