Support “Made in the U.S.A.” with Pride

Most Americans have felt the bumps and bruises from the rocky economic road of recent times. In an effort to stimulate job growth in the United States, many consumers are purchasing and getting reacquainted with American-made goods. They’re beginning to understand that the investment they make in domestic products pays off with durability, aesthetic value, and consistent quality. They’re also rediscovering the pioneering American spirit that is evident in the creative and inspired designs of items crafted in the U.S.A., such as these from IMAGINE GreenWear, LuvStuff, Nano Baby, and 32 Degrees.

IMAGINE Red,White and Blue GreenWear

People who look out for the good of our planet have long known that it’s the small steps that count toward a healthier future. Clothing is one everyday product that mostl have plenty of, so it only makes sense that consumers should think about where their clothing comes from and how it affects the environment. Textile manufacturing that uses man-made fabric and ink contributes to environmental damage, so a move toward natural clothing choices is a great start for an eco-conscious family.

Virginia-based company IMAGINE GreenWear has created a made-in-the U.S.A. clothing line that makes it easy to dress kids in earth-wise togs that are stylish, too. The skirts, blouses, shirts and pants in this collection are made with natural fabrics and printed with seaweed-based dyes. The designs are perfect for little ones because they boast bright, cheerful colors and upbeat themes that wouldn’t be out of place on the wall of a nursery school. The shirts are screen-printed on both the front and back, to add visual interest and variety.

IMAGINE GreenWear’s founder Mark Fishbein says that the company name was inspired by the classic John Lennon song “Imagine.” He was inspired by the song, not only because of its vision of a healthier and more peaceful future for mankind, but also because imagination and creativity are top priorities in the company’s designs.

LuvStuff offers all that and more with its impressive variety of exceptional, made-in-the-U.S.A. nursery décor.

Families Fall for Nano in a Split Second

When it comes to children’s clothing, comfort and durability rule. Kids aren’t all catalog models, posing perfectly for every shot; they’re always moving, always changing, and always growing. Nano Baby clothing is made with the real lives of children in mind. Polish-born clothing designer Patricja Pienkowski, along with product designer Harold Balch, launched Nano Baby in 2004. They hoped to add their own creative spin to a collection of simple, stylish clothing that parents would feel good about buying and kids would feel great about wearing.

While many children’s clothing lines cater mainly to girls and leave meager, plainer offerings for boys, Nano gives plenty of attention to the style needs of young gentlemen. Their boldly printed tees, snuggly hoodies, and top-quality sweats all capture the wild, boisterous fun of boyhood. The girls’ collection focuses on dresses, but these aren’t the stiff, scratchy dresses kids hate to wear; they’re colorful and chic and, best of all, they come in comfortable, breathable fabrics.

A great deal of attention, inspiration, and care go into each and every product from this New Jersey-based company. For a less traditional approach to children’s styles, but with all the comfort and fun kids need, Nano is an excellent choice.

The Coolest Hats Converge at 32 Degrees

“Put on your hat!” has long been the mantra of mothers from anywhere in the world that experiences winter. Massachusetts’s mom Christine Haley was no exception; she had a hard time finding cozy, fun, and fashionable hats her children liked to wear… that is, until she started making them herself. Now moms (and dads) across America are discovering the merits of Haley’s rising comet of a company, 32 Degrees.

32 Degrees hats are quirky and interesting, featuring cute animal details like dog-ears, cat whiskers and penguin beaks. The quality of 32 Degrees is what sets their brand apart. Hats are handcrafted in the U.S.A. for durability and warmth, and the high-quality fleece resists pilling, so the toppers look great for the long haul, without having to contend with the “fuzzies.”

The best part about 32 Degrees hats is that they are easy to wear. They come in a set of standard sizes, but also sport an adjustable clip to create a perfect fit for kids of every head size. All infant and toddler hats are designed with a secure hook-and-loop closure under the chin, so little ones don’t lose their hats.
