ABC Kids Expo 2008: Sama Children's Clothing

Chris Ford — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 21:31:00 GMT

I didn't write much about children's clothing from ABC but the organic clothes from Sama were too nice not to share. The clothes have a decidedly Indian feel to them, though they're not overly Indian. In fact, the company's motto is "Inspired by India, Made in India for the Benefit of India."

I was a big fan of the "Rock Star Dress" (available in February of 2009) and the Double Layer Strap Dress (pictured). Everything is certified organic and they have sizes from infants up to six years old.

The Babble Review: Popadum Baby Clothes Inspired By India

Finding interesting fashion for boys can be a challenge -- which is why the mom who founded Popadum became enamored with obsessed with traditional Indian fabrics and patterns on a trip to Rajasthan. The results are stunning pieces that can be worn by both boths and girls. Babble editor Ada took one shirt on a road test; here's what she had to say:

These Indian-style shirts ($20-$30) initially struck me as far too pretty for toddlers. I took one look at the stack of white-with-gold-brocade tunics and imagined them smeared with goldfish-cracker drool. So I opted for the light, soft tie-dyed one in gray and blue. My one-year-old son seemed to love it and wore it happily on several occasions. As pretty as it was, the shirt survived multiple Drefting without incident. The only problem: some fellow parent on the playground made a crack about it making the kid look like a '60s folk singer. "Nuh-uh," I said. "Folk singers have hair."

Available online at Popadum.
