Let Naartjie Kids Clothing Bring Back Color And Fun To Dressing

By Mattie MacDonald


Finding nice clothes for your children can be a challenge. Some clothing designers seem to think that kids will be perfectly happy in outfits make them look like little grown-ups. Others forget that kids run around and need comfortable clothes. With Naartjie kids clothing, however, your children can look stylish while still being kids.

'Naartjie' is the word South Africans use to describe a Satsuma or mandarin orange. It's a small, sweet citrus fruit that is easy to peel and has a unique taste. Like the fruit, the clothes made by Naartjie clothing are hardy, sweet, unique and, most importantly, loved by children.

The brand is originally from South Africa. At first, people had to go to Greenmarket Square, Cape Town's most popular flea market, to buy the clothes. However, the company opened a store in the Waterfront, the prime shopping center in the city, in the early Nineties. It was so successful that franchises soon opened all over South Africa and the USA. Today, company headquarters are in Salt Lake city.

The brand is renowned for its imaginative use of color and prints. Most often, colors are bright, for instance orange, bright green and pink, which appeals to children. However, there are also items in more neutral colors such as brown, gray and blue. Bold prints such as flowers, ladybugs and animals add a uniqueness that children and parents alike simply can't get enough of.

Especially the girls' clothing has a quirky, old-world feel. Leggings may have frills at the bottom, for instance, like something from Victorian times except that they come in bold colors such as orange. Tops and dresses are loose-fitting and flowing for comfort but are also very girly, with details such as frills and bows. Even baby clothes may be quirky, with a bright tutu attached to a onesie, for instance.

Unfortunately you have to be younger than twelve to be able to wear the wonderful clothes. The company makes its clothes for boys and girls, from newborns to preteens. However, in the USA there is also a range for tween girls, which is great news for parents who don't want to see their daughters grow up too quickly but want them to retain their childlike innocence for a little longer.

The company does not only sell clothing basics. It also has accessory ranges that include footwear, headbands, watches, bags and, to protect your child's skin, sunhats. Swimwear and sleepwear are available too and you'll even find bedroom decor and bedding.

To find the perfect outfit for your child, you may want to visit a Naartjie store to look at what's available and to feel the textures of the clothes. There are stores all over the USA, in South Africa's major cities as well as in Saudi Arabia. If you can't get to a store, though, simply order online, since the company ships to 205 countries.
