It is tough not to adore much of the wonderfull, yet often high-priced,kiddie fashion and baby stuff offered at designer shops. Of course, atthe other end of the spectrum, there are the truly hideous knitted andcrocheted craft-fair rejects that also pose as “cute for kids.”Somewhere in the middle are a few companies that select items that arehand-made — or at least look it — and cute, yet manage to be fun andfashionable, too. One of these is blablain Atlanta, Georgia. We love their international animal tees and thecolorful Peruvian knits but the one item that we are ordering inmultiples, is the knitted cotton backpack. That there isn’t a kid inour team here, is beside the point. It says “ages 3 AND UP” on theorder page, does it not? By Tuija Seipell
