Zooni Review: Mop Top Hat and ConFEETi Socks

by Kate on October 9th, 2009 | 2 Comments » | In Baby, Clothes, Reviews
If you live in a part of the country with normal weather (unlike here where it’s hideously hot), it’s time to think about winter gear likes hats and mittens. Your first stop should be Zooniwear.com. Zooni is a whimsical collection of hand-knit hats, mittens and socks for kids that are sure to keep your little one warm AND fashion-forward.

About Zooni

Zooni was inspired by the arrival of our own children. As moms, we are passionate about protecting our little ones, while simultaneously demanding quality, comfort, and style. We work tirelessly to guarantee that our accessories are functional yet stylishly different.

I had the pleasure of checking out a wide assortment of Zooni products at the ABC Kids Expo. My favorite part of the collection is the adorable Mop Top Hat. We received the delightful Panda Monium hat made of fluffy white yarn with a black panda face and ears. The hat is really thick and feels solid and well-made. The inside is lined with fleece for comfort and warmth. The shaggy yarn on the top is solid and doesn’t shed even when you tug on it.

Baby Girl doesn’t sit still so it was rather difficult to get a good photo of her with the hat on. That, and she would often pull it off, so I do wish the hat had an under the neck fastener option to keep it on little heads.

I’m so ready for winter so she can sport this adorable hat all over town. It’s so stinking cute!

Zooni also sent us a pair of the new hand-finished ConFEETi 3D animal socks. Like the hats, Zooni socks are fun animals with pop out features like feet and tails. I especially like that they have non-slip rubber stamped soles because Baby Girl is cruising and learning to walk. The socks are very thick and cozy and even stay on her feet pretty well. They’re a great alternative to shoes for a baby because they add some personality and character without the fuss of shoes.

To Buy… Zooni products are unique, uber cute AND functional. They are well-made and nice and thick for warmth. I particularly like the Mop Top Hats – the animals are to die for – and think one would be a a great gift for the holidays or a child’s birthday.

Or Not to Buy… For younger kiddos, I wish the Hats had an under the chin strap to keep the hat on the head.

    We LOVE our Kate Moss Zooni hat. Emma wore it with everything last year.

    BABY GIRL looks adorable in her Zooni Hat!! Maybe when it is cold enough she will leave it on for the warmth. It is cute enough to be part of a Halloween costume, I think.
