Zutano Children’s Apparel {Spring Event Review & Giveaway #42}

After 20 years of creating whimsical children’s apparel, Zutano is a leader in the market. It really isn’t hard to see why. With a strong mission, fabulous quality and uniquely bright and fun designs, it no wonder people flock to Zutano.

Part of their mission:

We are committed to creating exceptional product designs, as well as manufacture superior quality products for the love, uniqueness and diversity of all children. Our wish is that the clothing we create has the honor to be the first garments to be worn by a child. The beginning of expression, style and uniqueness, they will continue to explore throughout life.

Once again, just a glance at the girl’s line makes me wish I had a little girl. And can you blame me? With vivid colors, layers and accessories that give the perfect finishing touches it is no wonder I covet them.

And for all of you out there feeling bad for me at this moment, please don’t. Not only do I have a little niece, but their boys selection is also just too stinkin’ cute for words!

We received two outfits for the boys and I wasn’t sure what to expect. I immediately noticed the amazingly soft the fabrics. So soft in fact that it reminded me of my favorite loungewear or super cozy pajamas. After just playing with my boys in our playroom I noticed how comfortable and free they were.  They obviously were enjoying their new clothes and I became a fan of Zutano.

It is hard to describe but I love how the clothing didn’t restrict their movement in any way. My boys were free to move and I know they like being as comfortable as do I. I wasn’t disappointed after washing since they came out looking great and best of all, no wrinkles!

The Zutano Itzy Bitzy line focuses on preemie and newborns and all items are available in their online shop, the Itzy Bitzy Boutique. With sizes for babies from 4-8 pounds and 9-13 pounds your new bundle of joy will be as cozy in this meticulous designed line, just for them!

Really, how can you resist? Writing this post is giving me all kind of baby fever just looking at the adorable clothing options!

Buy it: The Itzy Bitzy newborn line is available directly from the Zutano shop along with a smaller selection of toddler clothing featured in the press. To view other online retailers, including giggle.com, check out their full list of online retailers.
