Jacadi Spring Line

French childrens' clothier Jacadi has introduced its spring line of clothing. It's only up on the French site right now, the American one is a bit behind. They have lots of cool stuff to celebrate their 25 year anniversary. The 2005 nursery line is up as well, but sadly they didn't put up the strollers and carseats just yet. I think the new stuff should be in stores in the USA by April, or at least that's what they said at the last store I was in.

Dolce & Gabanna layette

Even though Dolce and Gabanna have offically called it quits, their baby line is still expanding. This spring they will be selling "take-out" style layette, similar to The Best Of Chums. The boxes will be wrapped up in foil and include different layette items like onesies, coveralls, hats, booties, etc. The layette is marked with their signature D&G will be sold mostly in European baby stores. The picture above come from German store Barbara Freres.

Stylish Paper For Tots

Chelsea Paper has some of the prettiest paper I have ever seen. Especially the baby stuff. Birth announcements, shower invites, adoption announcements, thank you cards, and even neato stuff you'd never find anywhere else like holiday birth announcements for the lucky baby, and baptism invitations.

Chelsea Paper is out of New York City, and has three divisions. The first, ChelseaPaper.com is the online store, letting you look through all kinds of stationary and create online proofs to see if you like it. Ordering online is quick and secure, and gets you your stationary in no time! The second division, Chelsea Notes, is the company's own brand of stationary, originally created for local charities and groups. The third is Chelsea Paper Studio, their store in Manhattan, that provides one-on-one service and lots of stuff to see.

If you are in NYC, go check them out at 136 East 57th Street. And if you are no where near NYC, check out the lovely online store.

If you thought the Oko trike was cool....

Check out FAO Schwarz's version! The BUBBLE GO CAR not only has it's own UV protection canopy and push bar for parents, but it has a harness seat belt and no-tip device, making it one of the safest toys out there. Plus it's way more stylish and fun to ride with it's passenger/toy friend in the front. Also has a little carrying bag on the back for other toy storage.

Available at FAO SCHWARZ stores and online.

Gus and Max making Stokke bedding

Famed modern baby bedding company Gus and Max are the latest company to design bedding for Stokke's Sleepi crib. I saw the line at the Juvenile Shop while I was in LA this week. It looks great, much better than the old stuff from Cocalo. And there are lots of options to choose from.

Stokke has also come out with several new bedding lines of their own, which can be viewed on their website.


*I have recieved a lot of press kits in the mail and I am trying desperately to get to them. I am very sorry I am so behind on this website, but so much has come up and I have been out of town for the past few days. I hope to be all caught up by the weekend.

Gap Baby Bedding

The intro on the website says "Introducing Baby Gap Bedding", however they did make baby bedding before. It's just been quite a few years. But it appears that they are back at it again. The retail chain Baby Gap is now selling three lines of complete baby bedding. Barnyard, Country Garden, and Choo Choo are the names of the lines, which include bumpers, quilts, crib sheets, dusters, blankets, and even matching bears.

The pictures on the website aren't realy clear, so I guess we'll have to wait until it appears in stores to see exactly what it's going to be like.

Modern Diaper Pail

Vipp, a family-run Danish company, makes trash bins. Much loved trash bins. And now, they make one for those of us who want more than the diaper genie and the diaper champ.

Introducing the Vipp diaper pail. It's corrosion resistant and fireproof, a two-gallon capacity, and a durable rubber lining to keep the moisture of diapers inside the can. It's also available in more colors than a Bugaboo, including stainless steal. It's sold online at Garnet Hill.
