  • SATees: Big Words for Little Guys

    onesie SATees reconditeI don't know about you guys, but I get a lot of e-mails from companies that want me to go to their websites and talk about their products. Usually I just delete these e-mails, but I got one the other day I just couldn't ignore. The product is SATees. It is a cafepress store that sells onesies and t-shirts and bibs with college level words on them. Some of them are ironic and some are just hilarious. My favorite onesie just says recondite (difficult to understand).

    If that isn't funny, I don't know what is. 

    I wonder if they make one that says odoriferous? 

     


  • Threadless T-Shirts Launches Kids Line

    Of all the purveyors of t-shirt irony, Threadless is my favorite. They let would-be designers submit ideas, which are then voted on. The winners get their design printed and sold as a limited-edition shirt.

    The people-who-have-kids market must just be out of control, because Threadless is the latest in a long line of companies to begin producing children's products. Threadless Kids runs under the same principle as its parent: the community votes on kid-friendly designs, some of which are mirrored by adult versions (as in the photo at right). They're promising the same level of quality and service that Threadless is known for (I'll vouch for it, they're great and the shopping experience is a blast). Teeshirts in sizes 4 through 12 are $17, and onesies up to size 24 months are $20.

    What I like best about Threadless Kids so far are the models—rarely do you see such a gathering of kids of all ages, looking like scruffy, cute, imperfect, real children. It's more like flipping through snapshots of my kids' last birthday party than looking at a catalogue. Bonus points for that, definitely.  


  • Kid-centric Design Inspiration

    It's been Kids' Week at Print & Pattern, a blog dedicated to showcasing excellent design. Usually a go-to source for pretty pictures of home decor, paper products and fabric for grownups, this week the focus has been on interesting and unusual graphic design in the world of children's apparel and accessories. Japan is heavily represented, as you can probably guess. P&P highlights textile designer Amy Schimler, the art of Megan Cash, and the inimitable style of UK children's cartoon Charlie and Lola.

    On an ordinary "adult week", Print & Pattern makes me want to burn my house down and start over from scratch. Kids' Week just makes me want to gut the girls' room and buy new bedding.
