Our 3-year-old has recently decided (for the first time ever) that she likes dressing up. What Dress-Up means to her is to taking down every single item hanging in her closet and trying it on – her Cinderella dress and matching cape, her way-too-big U of A snow coat, her fanciest black and red velvet dress, etc.
She’ll try on each item for about one minute and dance around excitedly and say, “What am I, mommy?” And then want to move on to the next item.
Unlike many girls her age, however, she would NOT want to wear a princess dress all day long. She’s much too practical for that. She always opts for clothes that she can “race” and “hike” and jump on the bed in. She likes soft, stretchable items that are easy-to-get-on-and-off – and that have no buttons.
Often, when she selects her outfit for the day, she’ll pull out one of her sets from Tea Collection, a San Francisco-based company that specializes in globally-inspired apparel for kids (birth to age 8).
I have to admit that she has fabulous taste. If I could dress my girls in only one brand, I would undoubtedly choose Tea Collection. The pieces are unique, well-made, stylish, AND well-suited for plenty of activity.
Take one peek (and be forever captivated by the brand):
- TOP LEFT: Shibuya Floral Dress, $44.50
- TOP RIGHT: Tokyo Hoodie, $39
- BOTTOM LEFT: Takayama Plaid Dress, $59
- BOTTOM RIGHT: Sayonara Tee, $29.50
The prices aren’t exactly low, BUT…these clothes are made-to-last. They are crafted with care and easily survive wash-after-wash without noticeable wear. I also appreciate the fact that the materials are simple (translation: comfortable, perfect for preschoolers who like to dress themselves), yet the designs are obviously not your every-day department store variety.
P.S. My daughter is wearing the Meiji Floral Dress ($55) and the Purity Organic Legging ($25) in the above picture. Thanks to Tea for providing that sample for her.
WIN IT! One winner will receive a $100 gift card to Tea Collection. To enter, leave a comment with the name of one other style (other than the ones listed) that you love from Tea Collection on this post prior to Wednesday, November 11th at 11:59 p.m. (Don’t forget to follow the rules…all generic comments like “Enter me!,” “Love it,” and “Cool stuff!” will be disqualified.).
*UPDATE* The winner is #94 Shelly. Congratulations!

I like the colors and cuts on most of the clothes. Boy’s clothing is really hard to find, especially at my son’s age (he’s only 6 months old). Anyway, the Kei pants are adorable! They remind me of train conductor pants. This isn’t the kind of stuff you’d see at Baby’s R Us, and I like that!!

Stephanie, this is bad…now I just have to spend more money on baby clothes! I love the Keiko Tea Set. I love all the tea sets, such a good idea! It’s hard to find clothes of good quality that you can mix and match. I want to get a few of these because I could put Evangline in one of the outfits, throw the other top in the diaper bag and have a quick change outfit when she inevitably spits up on herself.

November 5, 2009 at 6:47 amawww – she sounds like my kind of gal. I was such a tomboy when I was a child. Could be because I was homeschooled {hence, stuck at home all day and night} with only a brother. I was with him all of the time. We did all the boy things and I loved it. I still do! But, I also like to look nice and cute and sometimes rather girly.

November 4, 2009 at 6:27 amTheir girl clothes are great! The boy clothes are not catching my eye. I like the 5-piece Emerson set well enough — but it’s sold out in most sizes. The pants look very nice and I would probably use the gift card there. The Nagase romper is also a possibility.
I don’t have a favorite brand yet. But, I recently discovered this site where I think I’ll be making a few purchases: http://www.comfykid.com

November 4, 2009 at 12:23 amI think anyone who makes well made clothes deserves some kudos. Honestly my oldest son goes through clothes like it was plastic wrap or something. What happened to the days when you could hand clothing down to one or more children? That being said, the Playground Striped Hoodie looks perfect for my little man…he loves the stripes, stripes are “IT”. Off to take a little better gander. Always my biggest question…do they ship to Alaska? We shall see…

November 4, 2009 at 12:22 amThe Miko Floral Print dress is beautiful! I have a hard time spending A LOT of money on kids clothing because my kids are messy! Maybe I just need to be better about fighting stains and enforcing play clothes (no playing in dress clothes!)!

November 3, 2009 at 10:02 pmMy girls are obsessed with dressing up and in a way it has carried over to their regular dressing. My five year old hates wearing pants. She would so much rather be in a skirt all. the. time.

November 3, 2009 at 9:11 pmThe Satori Stripe sweater is a knock-out. The Miyagawa Turtle Henley would be great for my turtle-loving little one. Tea has great clothing.

November 3, 2009 at 8:20 pmSo many cute things…we recently outgrew a Tea outfit that was handed down to us, and I have not seen the brand in any of our stores. I love the Sparrow Double Decker Dress, the Umi Drop Waist Dress, Finley 5 Piece set, Kizari Floral Dress, Yoshi Denim Pants, and the Journey Pull-On Trouser! Could go On and On and On!

November 3, 2009 at 8:02 pmI love Tea and one of the best things about their collections is that the boys’ stuff is just as cute as the girls’ stuff! My kids are 1/4 Japanese so I especially love the Japanimation collection… the robot shirts are great and I love the bicycle tee.

November 3, 2009 at 8:02 pmThe Milo 3 piece set looks cute, my son loves dinosaurs so it would be a hit with him. I’m not usually a big fan of long pants that aren’t denim so I would have to check them out.

November 3, 2009 at 7:14 pmI actually have some Tea and love it…I really, really like the Meiji dress http://www.teacollection.com/cgi-bin/live/site.w?location=b2c/product.w&action=catalog&division=&category=b2c001c&prb=b2c003p&srb=b2c085p&mill=&product=972015&color=042&result=&brands=no&frames=no&target=main&sponsor=000002

November 3, 2009 at 5:59 pmI’ve been drooling over Tea for months, now. Great styles for boys and girls…and as a half-Asian Mama, I’m fond of the nod to Asian-style in the designs. The warm and cuddly Satori stripe sweater looks great for Christmas dinner or a romp on the playground!

November 3, 2009 at 5:36 pmI once got some Tea Collection clothing for my son while shopping in the city, they fit him so perfectly it looked tailored to him. I haven’t gotten back to the store since but with free shipping on $50 maybe I’ll just order online. I would like to buy the welcome 5 piece set, satori stripe sweater and matching tokyo romper and tokyo hoodie for my boys and the meiji floral dress for my daughter

November 3, 2009 at 2:30 pmI just love nice kids clothes. It’s so fun to have a few special outfits. I usually get hand-me-downs from relatives and Craigslist for the everyday wear stuff. But this looks great for special occasions!I’d get the solid cargo pants in brown and the long sleeve robot tee.

November 3, 2009 at 2:28 pmI also love Tea’s adorable clothes. The dresses are so great for dressing up or down. The Kiso Dress is my favorite right now. I’m also curious about their new line of pajamas. I’ll bet they’re super comfy.

November 3, 2009 at 2:26 pmMy best friend’s little guy definitely needs some of those adorable Omotesando Cargo Pants. I think that those pants, paired with a Ryu Dragon Hoodie would be the cutes outfit ever.

November 3, 2009 at 1:54 pmI’m fond of the Kimono Robe and Wabi Cargo pants for my little guy. And I second you on the quality and fit of the clothing. My son prefers being comfortable at play. And Tea gives him that–it’s always a sad day for him when he outgrows one of his Tea shirts or pants since he calls them by name, i.e. Dinosaur shirt, pocket pants, etc. Thankfully, they have great sales. That’s the best time to stock up!

It’s so pretty and would look amazing on my daughter! I really hope I win this so I can get some things from there. With our budget I couldn’t justify buying anything there. :(
