Finn + Emma: Sweet and Modern Styles for Baby

I am a sucker for baby clothes that are modern and colorful.  Nothing turns me off more than butterfly collars and dull pastels.  Finn + Emma makes sturdy items in contemporary prints that utilize muted colors with a punch of bright tones.  And they are organic.  What’s not to love?!

Meet Finn + Emma

“Welcome to the land of Finn + Emma, where we live in the balance of stylish and sustainable, whimsical and sophisticated, classic and contemporary. With fresh prints, modern colors, and heirloom quality construction, we are creating a new world for the organically grown baby.  One where boring designs and toxic chemicals are a thing of the past, and adorable, wearable, remarkable organic cotton is abundant!

Sustainability is bountiful too. You grew your little one organically, so why add chemicals now? Only the finest 100% organic cotton, eco friendly dyes, and all natural wood will do for your little munchkin, and we’ve got plenty. And on top of that, our garments and accessories are produced in fair trade settings that focus on social and economic independence for local people, women especially, working to provide for their families in a safe and fair environment.”

Scooter Prints for Scootin’ Babies

The first thing I noticed about the Footed Pant and Kimono Top was the quality of the material and the construction.  Double stitching, strong seams, and quality snaps mean that these items will outlast any abuse that Charlie can heap on the outfit and at least one round of hand-me-downs if not more.  I have washed this outfit at least half a dozen times and haven’t seen any fading or wear, like we do with clothes from some of the bigger shops.  The organic cotton was super soft even before the first washing and the print – oh, the print!  It’s simply adorable.  Scooters in blue, orange, and my favorite color – gray- adorn both pieces.  The greatest detail is the large orange scooter that is stitched to the bottom of one of the feet of the pants. 

Even though this outfit lends itself most to being a sleeping ensemble, the print and the shape of the garments are modern enough that they could be worn during the day, separately or together.  A scooter is a seemingly grown-up item, but Finn + Emma manages to make it totally kid-friendly without going too baby.  There are also coordinating items in stripes and solid colors that allow for mixing and matching.  I particularly love the reversible scooter jacket, which allows you to showcase the scooter print or keep it simple with the solid gray and scooter detail.  The items for baby girls are equally adorable in shades of purple with a cute, abstract flower print.

Shop!  Finn + Emma’s online store offers the full line of its baby clothes as well as some beautiful crib linens and sleek toys.  (I am coveting the Birch Wood Play Gym (below) with its handmade look and minimalist aesthetic.)  The prices might seem steep at first, but once you consider the quality of materials and construction, they become quite reasonable.

Thanks to Finn + Emma for providing sample product.
