Bring Color To Your Children's Wardrobes With Naartjie Kids Clothing

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.

A 'naartjie' is a word in South African English, derived from the Afrikaans word 'nartjie'. It's a kind of mandarin orange that's very popular with children because it's sweet and peels easily. Naartjie clothing chose the perfect fruit to name their brand after, since their clothes are children's favorites too.

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.

The only drawback of the brand's clothes is that grown-ups can't wear them. There are ranges for boys and girls, from newborns to 12-year-olds. The US stores also include ranges for girls aged 12 to 16 so that there's a stylish alternative for tweens who don't yet want to look like little women.

Apart from basics such as T-shirts, pants and dresses, the company also makes a wide range of sleepwear, swimwear and accessories. There are cute baby booties, sandals and shoes, sunhats, headbands, bags and even watches. In addition, there are several ranges of bedroom basics, with bedding, diaper stackers, mobiles and wall decorations.

The best way to shop for your child is to take him or her along to your nearest Naartjie store. In this way you can ensure a perfect fit and that your child will like the outfit. Apart from those in South Africa and the USA, there are stores in Saudi Arabia too. Of course it's not always possible to get to a physical store but the great news is that you can order online too, with Naartjie shipping to more than 200 countries.
